According to the news, two Tornado fighters collided during a training flight over the region of Marche (Central Italy) and fell to the ground. No parachutes spotted so far, but some say the pilots managed to eject. At the moment, there are huge fires on the mountains where the aircrafts went down

Update: one parachute found, but no trace of the 4 crewmembers so far. The Air Force confirmed the signal generated by the four seats when ejecting has been captured.
A photo of the collision has been published

Very, very sad. Sympathy to the family and compatriots of the crew members.
