Skydivers Shake Death By Leaping From Crashing Plane

May 31, 2008

As a recent commenter on the Free Republic suggests, “Wow, what are the odds…”

Skydivers planning a jump in eastern Spain recently got a bit more than they were bargaining for. The plane carrying the thrill seekers lost a wing, plunged to earth, exploded and killed the pilot and one passenger. The skydivers, already prepared for their jump, decided to bail out a bit early. This move probably saved their lives.

Four of the parachutists were injured in the ordeal after bad landings, with two of them being listed as serious. One, a 23-year-old man suffered some back injuries, while another, a 52-year-old man suffered a neck injury. In total, six skydivers jumped from the crashing plane.

Almost sounds like a weird James Bond type movie scene, but this one is 100% real. To read more on this amazing story, CLICK HERE now.
