Dallas Fire-Rescue squads are responding to the scene where the B17 bomber crashed down
Video posted online shows a Boeing B17 Flying Fortress bomber approaching the flight path of a Bell P-63 Kingcobra. Soon, the bomber completely collides with the Kingcobra, ripping it to shreds.
The front of the B17 split off from its rears as its wings caught on fire and it spiraled to the ground nearby.
One man who was at the air show said theP-63 was banking left at the time and had the B17 in his blind spot so he could not prepare for the impending crash.
