Well, if two planes are going to crash in midair, I guess it's good for them to be full of suited-up skydivers.

  1. who are in the process of getting out anyway.

  2. Wow….first time I have seen such close coverage of an actual midair. I can count two near midairs in my flying career and I sympathize with those pilots.

  3. I wonder what the safest course of action in that situation is…. Deploying ASAP to stay above the wreckage, or trying to glide away from it then deploying?

  4. +nick parker Get away from the plane for at least 30 seconds. The worst thing thing would be to deploy soon and have debris shred your sail.

  5. +Sonny Mikeal All 9 skydiver landed safely, as well as the two pilots, one of which was taken to the hospital to treat minor cuts.

  6. +Etienne O Were the pilots wearing parachutes?  As soon as I saw it, I knew the parachuters were gonna be ok, but I worried about the pilots.  I'm not familiar with normal procedure and if the pilot's suit up as well, or if they don't.  The one plane with one wing left looked to just be a death trap to anyone left inside.

  7. I just copy pasted the description lol idk man

  8. +TheRoomy the pilots use something called a bailout rig when dropping skydivers. Parachutes can wrap around the tail, people can hit the tail and skydiving introduces a shit-ton of other unknowns that could happen. (Credit to Opcao On reddit)
