Can 2 planes collide mid air?

As a blogger, I recently researched the frightening possibility of two planes colliding mid-air. While it's rare, mid-air collisions can and have happened in the past, mostly due to human error or miscommunication. However, modern technology like the Traffic Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) has significantly reduced the risk of such accidents. Air traffic controllers and pilots also follow strict protocols to maintain safe distances between planes. So, although there is a slight chance of mid-air collisions, the aviation industry has made great strides in ensuring our safety while flying.
