Saturday's Skydiver mid air collision - footage

Post by gordon-in-aberdeen »

Hi all, I suspect you all probably heard about the mid air collision on Saturday in the US between two Cessnas carrying two groups of Skydivers. Well there is footage of the whole thing from the various cameras the skydivers were carrying.

I believe everyone got out OK.. :$

Yes, all ten skydivers and the pilot of the plane that lost a wing parachuted safely back down.

About two weeks ago a Pilatus loaded with ten skydivers and their pilot were all killed after takeoff from an airport in Belgium.
They were celebrating one of their mate's birthday.
