What's the story behind this ? looks like one of the chase planes &
the XB70 had a mid air. I've been up next to the XB70 that is at the
USAF museum in Dayton. It is a HUGE beautiful aircraft !

I never knew such a sequence of photos existed. Terrifying to look at.

There's video about as well. It's pretty poor quality - but I guess they
weren't really expecting this to happen.

I remember seeing these photos in LIFE magazine - I was about 11 at
the time, and the horror of the incident still lingers.
