Nitzia Mendoza Corral, 18, and Clarissa Morquecho Miranda, 17, died after a plane struck their heads while they were apparently taking “selfies” near an airport runway in Chihuahua, Mexico.
According to reports, the two teenagers were at a horse race Saturday afternoon before the tragic incident occurred. The girls then went over to an airstrip to take selfies with their cell phones but they unfortunately didn’t notice a plane that was landing because they were in a noisy environment.
Witnesses told local news team that the girls were said to have ignored the warnings of bystanders that the area was dangerous.
The two teenagers were standing in a van recording a video selfie when they didn’t notice a descending aircraft preparing for landing hit their heads which cause their immediate death.
Investigators are still looking into it and the pilot’s identity hasn’t been released and it’s unclear how the plane became so close to the vehicle.
