Discussion
This afternoon 2 Tornado IDS from the 6th Fighter wing based in Ghedi, south-west of lake Garda collided mid-air near San Benedetto del Tronto in central Italy.
Crew are reported to have ejected, but until now they are still missing, altough a parachute has been detected npt far away from the accident area.
Several wood fires have started as a consequence of the debris falling down.
Reports say that the smoke can be seen from over 15 miles from the area.

I hope that crew are safe.
EDIT: The accident was near Ascoli a few miles inland.
