"Helicopter-plane Collision"
"Helicopter-plane collision barely missed a 'catastrophic' outcome" article was written by Jeff Gotlieb and Shelby Grad from LATimes.com. The collision occurred in Bay Area, where a helicopter and a plane collided into each other. Although it was still an accident, it could have been much worse according to the owner of a flight school whose student was present in the helicopter. If the helicopter had hit the plane differently then it would have been "catastrophic". The owner of the flight school also said that the helicopter was hit from behind by the plane, but it was hit in such a way that they were both able to land safely. Wayne Prodger, who is the owner, added that if it had just been a few feet higher, then the plane would for sure have crashed right into the helicopter. Luckily, only the pilots had suffered minor injuries. The accident happened somewhere between Oakland and Sacramento. Both the helicopter and the plane each landed in the different areas. I find this article to be important because if only little thing had changed, then the entire accident would have been different.
