3S1 die in mid-air jet collision.

A Saudi Arabian Airlines Boeing 747 collided with a Kazakstan Airlines Ilyushin Il76, creating twin fireballs that scattered debris and the bodies of 351 pa¥lengers and crew over farmland near New Delhi.

If and when the death toll is confirmed, tl)e crash would be classified as the third-deadliest plane crash in aviation history.

Witnesses to the crash say the planes collided in a cloud, suggesting that the pilots could not see each other's planes in time to avoid a crash.

Seventeen foreigners were on board the Saudi Arabia-bound jet, including two Americans and a Briton.

By law the planes were required to have a vertical margin of at least 1,000 feet when traveling on the same route.

As of this printing the "black boxes," or cockpit voice recorders, have not been found which can pinpoint a possible cause to the crash.
