It seems like a miracle in the skies over Colorado... as two planes collide...and land safely.

The six people aboard two small planes that collided in mid-air in western Colorado on Wednesday are all doing fine. The F-A-A says the planes collided in mid-air about 15-miles southeast of Grand Junction.

A Cessna with two people on board came to a rest on its roof. The other plane, carrying two inmates, a deputy and the pilot..circled the airport after the collision, then made a hard landing on the runway.

The F-A-A is still trying to determine what happened.

It isn't very often there is anyone left to tell what happened in a mid-air collision. It will be interesting to hear how this happened.

"A Cessna with two people on board came to a rest on its roof." I don't know if I would call that landing safely. Maybe unharmed, but definitely not safely.
