So you have a bunch of flying things, usually aircraft, and something's destroying them. How to make it look cool? By having one of the planes damaged enough to cause it to veer off course and crash into another airplane. See also Just Plane Wrong. |

In Head of State, a presidential candidate and his running mate have their private jets collide when landing, apparently due to them using their cell phones at the time. This sets up the plot to end up with the main character as the candidate. | |

This is one of the most embarrassing ways to fail a mission in the Ace Combat games, especially crashing into a bomber you are chasing or a plane you already shot down. | |

Barely averted in Left Behind (2014), where Rayford Steele tries to avoid a jet without its pilots heading straight for his. The only thing that happens is wing damage, as it causes the jet to leak fuel as it's headed back toward New York. | |

Happens in the American Dad! episode "A Ward Show" when Principal Lewis plans to kill himself and Steve by driving his car over the Grand Canyon. However, the white man and black boy they encountered earlier are doing the same thing and the two cars collide into each other in mid-air. | |

Kicks off the plot of Millennium (1983), with wristwatches set for bizarre times or outright running backward quickly calling attention to the fact that the crash was even stranger than it initially appears. | |

The Vulture Squadron does this on a regular basis on Dastardly & Muttley in Their Flying Machines. A glaring instance is from "Sky-Hi I.Q." where Zilly is slingshotted towards the pigeon with a bird cage attached to his plane. He's close but then he is catapulted back, the elastic snaps and he crashed smack into Dick Dastardly's plane. | |

In MechWarrior Living Legends, collisions between aerospace fighters are almost invariably lethal to both participants, and are often caused when two allied players with No Peripheral Vision clip wings and then smash each other when chasing down a single enemy scout plane. The magic of the CryEngine physics engine means that sometimes clipping wings will launch one player into a vomit-inducing wild spin as they plummet helplessly to the ground. | |

From the Depths: With a physics engine that reacts to a crafts shape, thrust, and drag in relation to its center of mass this is not an uncommon occurrence for dog fighting aircraft. Usually it is caused by the damaged craft suddenly losing control and veering into another craft. | |

One of the Emergency! TV movies, “Survival on Charter 220� centers on one between a passenger jet and a small charter craft. Wreckage rains down on a neighborhood and starts fires. Station 51 and several more respond, though only John and Roy appear. Squad 51 gets totaled by falling bricks from a house by the end. Luckily, it wasn’t occupied. | |
