      I don’t know what you’re talking about. Are you referring to the other KC-135 mentioned in the article?

      A U.S. official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the developing situation, said the other plane involved was also a KC-135. Yechiel Leiter, the Israeli ambassador to the U.S., wrote on X that the other plane landed safely in Israel.

        Yes. “unspecified incident involving two aircraft” was the cause for one of them crashing, while another one managed to do unscheduled landing. In aviation where margins for errors are almost non existent, there isn’t a world where the same accident can occur in 2 planes at the same time.
