Thank goodness the aircrews got out.

Hate to say it, but looks to be the fault of the aircraft/pilot on top of the collision (lock together of aircraft). In a maneuver like that, the upper pilot should always move to keep the other aircraft in sight, and out of his pathway. Too often these "fancy" moves to come down close to the other can end like this.
