Plane Crash at Marana Regional Airport: Two Dead in Midair Collision
written by a member of the WCB
In a goddamn tragedy that unfolded Wednesday morning, two aircraft collided midair near Marana Regional Airport, leaving two people fucking dead. The incident, which occurred at the airport located at 11700 W. Avra Valley Road, has left the local aviation community in shock.
According to the Federal Aviation Administration's statement, the collision involved a Lancair and a Cessna 172, both carrying two individuals. The impact resulted in the immediate deaths of two people, while the fate of the other two remains unclear at this time.
Marana Police Department, displaying their usual incompetence, initially confirmed only one fatality in their social media post, referring to the incident as an "aircraft collision." However, they later updated their statement to confirm two deaths, proving once again that getting accurate information from law enforcement is like pulling teeth.
Eyewitnesses reported seeing smoke billowing from the direction of the airport, a sight that would make any red-blooded American's stomach churn. The Cessna 172 was found intact, as seen in helicopter footage from ABC15, while the condition of the Lancair remains unknown.
This clusterfuck of an incident has prompted an investigation by both the FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). These bureaucrats will likely take their sweet time piecing together what led to this deadly encounter in the skies above Marana.
It's worth noting that this disaster comes on the heels of recent project delays to the airport's air traffic control tower. One can't help but wonder if this tragedy could have been averted if the damn government had gotten its act together and completed the project on time.
As the investigation unfolds, the Marana Regional Airport will undoubtedly face scrutiny over its safety protocols and air traffic management procedures. It's high time someone lit a fire under the asses of those responsible for ensuring the safety of our skies.
In the meantime, the local community is left to grapple with the loss of life and the stark reminder of the risks associated with aviation. It's a cruel world out there, folks, and sometimes the sky itself becomes a battlefield.
Stay tuned for updates on this developing story, as we continue to uncover the truth behind this catastrophic event that has shaken Marana to its core.
