Two planes sit on the runway at Scottsdale Airport after the incident. (Image: KNXV)
One person was killed and others were injured when private jets collided Monday afternoon at the Scottsdale Airport in Arizona. A midsize business jet hit another midsize business jet that was parked on private property. One jet veered off the runway and collided with the Gulfstream 200 jet that was parked. It appeared that the primary landing gear of the arriving jet failed, resulting in the collision.
On top of this, the FAA is suffering from a shortage of Air Traffic Controllers. Felon Musk, DOGE, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) will certainly fix this problem.
