    this is kind of scary.


    FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) -- Two large planes collided over the southern German state of Baden-Wuerttember, a state official said early Tuesday. There was no immediate word on casualties.

    A spokesman for the interior ministry of Baden-Wuerttemberg, speaking on customary condition of anonymity, said it was not immediately clear how many people were aboard the planes, but it was possible they were carrying mostly freight.

    The planes were identified as a Russian-made Tupolev 154 and a Boeing 757 cargo plane, German media reports.

    The planes went down near the city of Sigmariegen, near Lake Constance. aircraft wreckage was scattered for miles across the countryside, the spokesman said.

    State German ARD television interviewed one man who described the crash as two large balls of fire in the sky.

    No further information on the aircraft or passengers aboard was immediately available.
