“Ha sfiorato la collisione con un aereo di linea e si è schiantato contro il grattacielo più alto della città. Il pilota soffriva d’insonnia cronica e ansia, è morto sul colpo”: i dettagli dell’incidente di un ultraleggero a Pechino

An ultralight aircraft collided with the CITIC Tower in Beijing, narrowly avoiding a mid-air collision with an Airbus A330 operated by Hainan Airlines. The incident occurred in one of the most monitored airspace zones globally, with the ultralight coming within 457 meters of the commercial flight, forcing it to make an emergency climb. International outlets like The Guardian and CNN reported the event based on radar tracking data and global news agency reports, raising concerns about China’s air defense systems. The pilot was reportedly suffering from chronic insomnia and anxiety at the time of the crash.
