Some think that the pilot of the big commercial jet made a drastic move to avoid the collision- saving the small jet. Pretty...I don't know, incredible? Not everything is bad.
...but if it was a big commercial airliner, wouldn't it have maybe three or four times the number of people on it than the small jet?
