yup, pretty obvious what happened, can't beleive it doesn't happen more often, since they are going, like, 200mph.

They are up and flying again.
The pilots involved didn't even know the planes had touched.
They say it just felt like air turbulence so they kept pressing with the show until the safety advisor on the ground told them a piece fell off and stopped their performance.

:idea: Investigation to them is, leave us alone. We are going to go hide and want this to all go away, so they tell the media it is under investigation. It will probably be under investigation forever. haha Like RiverToys said there isnt much to investigate.

They make it look easy but if you have ever seen video footage from inside the cockpit during a flight the are working their a$$es off. The are bouncing around pretty good.
