Failure of local controller to provide adequate spacing between two airplanes that resulted in a midair collision.
I might add that the report indicates that the weather was clear and VFR, therefore, both pilots had a duty to "see and be seen". I lost a Mooney M-20 with my step-dad and his friend aboard, a WWII B-25 pilot, in a midair collision with a Piper PA-28 over the California Mojave Desert in the early eighties. The skies were clear. The NTSB's conclusion was that the pilot who hit the Mooney was at the wrong altitude for the direction of flight and inexperienced (less than 500hrs). FWIW, I don't see anything in this report other than human error and the coincidence that one pilot was an Arab and the the incident happened on 9-11-2000. More coincidental than providential.
I don't see anything suspicious in the accident either. It looks like a simple accident. Now look at some of the other details. You seem to be overlooking the obvious. For example, see post #41.
I agree.
Sorry about your step dad and his friend. They must have loved flying in that B-25.
Most mid-airs seem to happen near an airport when both are on the same frequency and the weather is good.
Do you have a date for that tragic accident?
