only about 9 years late..this happened Oct 2003.

[Irving]

Is this the one from like 10 years ago, or a new one?

[USMC88-93]

I can not say what I thought hearing that without sounding callous and I do not intend it to come off that way. But post impact it actually sounded like liquid splashing back down on the deck. That must have been a hell of a mess and I would not wish witnessing that on anyone. Hell of a way to go.

[Irving]

Someone I know was performing on the bridge that day. He said it sounded like a bomb went off, and the hand rail was bent out something like two feet after impact.

[Flatline]

It looks like he was trying to pass over the bridge and cut it short. The other guy doesn't pull his chute (or at least it doesn't open) until he appears to be below the level of the bridge.

Friend new the guy he did a few regular sky diving jumps with him. Said he was a real nice guy and great skydiver!

[275RLTW]

He was trying to fly over the bridge while another was flying under it. He miscalculated the distance to the bridge and caught part of it as he was crossing it. They never found all of him. Tragic accident. At least he went out doing something he loved rather than getting killed by a drunk driver or something stupid.
