pwesner··on The 2002 Überlingen midair collision
I was in a boarding school close by (just 400m close to location 7 from the map showing the impacts). I did not see the crash in the sky (some did see an explosion). I heard a noise like a thunder but it did not stop. It was burning parts falling from the sky. The noise was from the flames. My first guess was that it will hit us so I rushed and woke up anybody I could grab. Back to my window I noticed that we are save - not by much. After falling to the ground it exploded with a gigantic fireball. We had our own firefighter devision at the school. They where the first on site. The week afterwards was very stressful. Constant helicopter and fighter jet noises. Press calling us, etc…

At one point we realised that these where young students like us… And all our firefighters where tasked to help find all those bodies…

Did not expect this story on hackernews. I witnessed the crash. It was such a surreal moment…

Its the first time I read an article about all the details. Thanks for the writeup!

Never heard the term trash poker. Is it more than carring a trash bag and collecting trash? Sounds very promising, I‘ll give it a try.
