70 Die in three Aermacchi MB-339 PAN jet mid-air collision in United States' Ramstein Air Base, Ramstein, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany.

The mid-air collision took place as the two heart-forming groups passed each other and the heart-piercing aircraft hit them. 346 spectators sustained serious injuries in the resulting explosion and fire and hundreds more had minor injuries. The German band Rammstein was named after this catastrophe. The second "M" was added so the name means "Ramming Stone."
