Planes

The number of victims from the collision of two planes at the air show in the American city of Dallas has risen to six, officials announced.

Two vintage World War II-era planes have collided and crashed at an air show in the US state of Texas, killing at least two people.

The planes — one of them a Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress — were taking part in a memorial air show near Dallas.

Officials did not specify how many people were on the planes, but Hank Kotis, president of the air show company, said the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress typically has a crew of four to five, and the Bell P-63 Kingcobra has a single pilot. .
