Nine Air Force Personnel dead - Tragic Mid-air collision

Nine Indian Air Force (IAF) personnel, including five officers, were killed when two MI-17 helicopters collided mid-air near Jamnagar air force base in Gujarat on Thursday. The collision took place near a firing range in Sarmat village, 20 km from the air force station and 15km from Jamnagar town.

The reasons for the collision are as yet unknown.

Whatever could be the reason for the collision, for the families of those who died, it's a tragedy of a lifetime..

Heart breaking scenes..

It's a sinking feeling even when we try to imagine the depth of pain and sorrow in that father's heart...God...
