At eleven kilometers height, two Chinese aircraft, an Airbus A350 from Air China with about 300 passengers and a cargo plane from SF Airlines, flew straight to each other. Only 90 meters height difference separated them from a frontal collision at speeds of more than 900 kilometers per hour. Thanks to a fall -back maneuver at the very last moment, a disaster was not over Siberia. According to ‘La Repubblica’ there were “many Italians and other Europeans” on board.
