  My cousin is the assistant office manager at the Albuquerque FSDO.
  Recently he investigated this accident at Los Alamos airport.  You
  really won't believe this one.
  
  
  The bottom pilot had tuned to the wrong freq. so neither heard the
  other's
  calls.   Both guys had approached Los Alamos from the North and
neither
  had
  any idea the other one was anywhere nearby.  They landed at almost the
  exact same time and speed and the planes rolled to a stop halfway down
  the runway.  They still haven't separated them because they have to
get
  a crane onto the airport to do it.  I doubt they realize just how
  fortunate they are to be able to talk about this one!
