A shocking video of a mid-air collision near Reagan National Airport has surfaced online, leaving social media users in disbelief. The footage, which quickly went viral, shows two small aircraft colliding in the sky before one of them spirals downward. Eyewitnesses captured the incident from the ground, and many took to social media to express their shock and concern.
“This is so strange. How does something like this even happen?” one user wrote on X (formerly Twitter). Another commented, “Absolutely terrifying. I hope everyone made it out alive.”
Authorities have since confirmed that the collision involved two privately owned aircraft. Emergency responders rushed to the scene to assess the situation and provide assistance. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has launched an investigation to determine the cause of the crash.
While some users speculated about possible pilot error, others questioned whether air traffic control had failed to prevent the accident. “With all the technology we have, how do two planes just crash mid-air?” a concerned user asked. Others pointed out that mid-air collisions, though rare, can still occur due to miscommunication or unexpected maneuvers.

As authorities continue their probe, the public remains eager for answers. Meanwhile, the video continues to circulate, sparking discussions about aviation safety and the risks of flying in busy airspace.
