The impact causes the coach to come crashing down in a nearby field, yet miraculously without serious damage or injuries.
The image freezes this heart-stopping event that took place in April 1937, showcasing the chaos and destruction caused by this unexpected collision. The historical significance of this incident is evident as it highlights the dangers of low-flying aircrafts and their potential for disastrous accidents.
