Two teenage girls were posing for selfies when they were killed by a plane in Mexico earlier this week, according to media reports.
El Diario de Chihuahua said Monday that Nitzia Mendoza Corral, 18, and Clarissa Morquecho Miranda, 17, were hit while standing on the plane's landing strip after leaving a horse race March 26 in Chínipas, Chihuahua.
The publication reported that the pair could not hear the plane coming because nearby horse races were so loud. The teens were hit in the head by one of the plane's wings, according to the outlet.
On Facebook, a woman who appears to be Corral's mother thanked friends and family for the outpouring of support and prayers.
A video shows a group honoring Corral, who Proseco reported was in her second semester at college studying law, with live music and flowers. Proseco, a Mexican publication, reported that Miranda was still in high school.
Shouldn't the pilot have scanned the landing strip before landing?
It's not clear to me from the information provided that the kids did anything that was obviously, extraordinarily dumb. This seems more like garden-variety bad luck.

Two kids die and trolls here make jokes.
They should get the ZOT
