that is crazy, how do some of you think that happened?
I dont know if you saw but in the Heads Up Display, you see a plane come into view. So there was almost a midair.
Planes have collided like this before in the air and landed. Here are two that collided on short final.

what i meant is how would they get into a situation like that?
It is really amazing that this happens more than we think. It definitely could happen on parallel runways. These guys got hosed by tower. ATC will screw you sometime. Here's a link from the FAA about runway incursions, etc....

Simply blaming the tower is a cop-out. While they could have played a role, we don't have enough info about what really happened to reach that conclusion. In the end, VFR is VFR thus see and avoid applies, especially in a busy pattern environment. A good lookout doctrine can help prevent stuff like this. There was a pretty nasty (but non-fatal) Prowler class A which resulted from two jets from the same division break attempting to land on eachother.
