Country:  | Wild, but at least they all got out OK. Someone will still get sh*t for it though - they have to have seen each other/ATC seen them converging.

Country: | It's easy to speculate what happened from the safety of the ground. I wouldn't jump to any conclusions as to what happened yet. Yes, they were in training, but you can't rule out mechanical failure, FOD, bird strikes or other causes at this point. I am sure the accident review board will get to the bottom of this.
