Two airplanes were gliding smoothly when all of a sudden, it is believed that the two planes collided into each other. With nine sky divers on the airplanes, this could have ended very badly. One of the planes started to fail, so the sky divers had to "jump for their lives". Luckily, all passengers, including the pilots, survived. It is said that by the time the second plane was landing, some jumpers still had not hit the ground. This incident served to remind those sky divers that this sport really was dangerous.
It is amazing that no one was seriously hurt. Those passengers should feel very lucky; airplane crashes are almost certain death. I find it shocking that even the pilots were able to survive. Even though I'm sure this sport is considered thrilling to some people, it is a good reminder that sky divers risk their lives every single time they get into a plane.

This is so true and valid, this incident could have gone many ways but I'm glad it turned out good. The people on these planes were just in the right place at the right time! Or the wrong place...
