In one of the photos, the crash site and fires is just past some high tension wires that cross the valley.
RIP etc. What else can one say?

500n,
In that photo the fireball is possibly about 1000ft above the nearest hilltops. Now that would need some very tall pylons to support wires, given the nature of the terrain in that part of the country (which can be seen in the photo).

I was passing comment, but not wanting to get into speculation that they
hit them but more that they might have risen up to avoid them ???
Anyway, hope some good news comes out.

My Italian is terrible, but I infer from that news article and my fractured understanding of the prose that all four have been lost.
RIP, four of our comrades in arms.

No official conclusions yet.
According to a mainstream newspaper, one of them should have been at 10000 ft, instead of 1000. Two planes, two different missions.

Tornado's collision, Mariangela Valentini's plane was in the wrong place.
