Minden Midair - Nobody Killed


A bizjet hit a glider at Minden yesterday. The jet's instrument panel was smashed and the pilot injured by the debris but the jet landed gear-up without further serious injuries to anyone on board; the glider pilot parachuted to safety and walked out. Here's an incredible photo (that's the glider's wing spar), and there are a couple more on Flickr. This photo is Creative Commons licensed by the Flickr page owner.
