Reconstruction of plane collision planned

BOULDER, Colo. -- Federal investigators plan to do a reconstruction of the midair collision that killed three people in two planes above Boulder, Colo., on Saturday.

Investigators say they will piece together the aircraft and do a 3-D reconstruction in Greeley, where they have taken the wreckage. The crash killed two brothers from Boulder and a man from Evergreen.

Witnesses told investigators that a Cirrus SR-20 aircraft collided with a Piper Pawnee, and that a glider being towed by the Piper Pawnee disconnected just before impact. Three people in the glider survived.
