Four Indonesian pilots who were practicing on Sunday for a Malaysia acrobatic air show were able to eject from their jets that collided mid-air and crashed.

Six KT-1B jets were crossing the MIEC air space when two of the planes collided mid-air. The four pilots are safe but under observation at a Langkawi hospital, according to Faud Basya, military spokesman of Indonesia.

The falling debris from the burning planes, Korea-made KAI KT-1 Woongi jets, set a house and a vehicle on fire, according to an unnamed Malaysian defense official, reports AP. But there were no reports of major injuries or deaths on the ground.

However, Bernama reports that a 70-year-old Malaysian citizen, Abu Mutalib Said, who witnessed the aircraft crash on the house of his two sons, Zulfkeflee and Mohd Rashidi, at Kampung Gelam was admitted at the Langkawi Hospital for psychological trauma, according to Prof. Datuk Seri Dr. Abu Hassan Asaai Abdullah.

Dr. Abdullah is a consultant and emergency medicine specialist at 2015 Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace Exhibition (LIMA'15).

The doctor said that Abu is being treated for critical accident stress management which includes a breathing relaxation therapy to reduce aggravation. But he had no physical injuries and has gone to sleep.

Malaysian Defense Minister Hishammudin Hussein visited the pilots in the hospital and tweeted that aside from being safe, the spirits of the aviators remain high.

The Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace Exhibition is scheduled March 17 to 21. The Indonesian acrobatic air team is one of five teams that will perform.
