I posted this earlier but it was only a small snippet that was on the news, here is all the angles from all the skydivers that were wearing cameras.

Holy shit, helmet cams are like the best things ever, really give us a whole new perspective on amazing situations like these.
God. That feeling of trying to make sense of everything that just happened as you plummet to the earth, not knowing if everyone's okay until you see all the parachutes pop open.
Scary shit.
The camera at 1:00 is the most action-movie. Dude fucking hanging onto the 172's wing strut and you get blown out. Almost like something out of an over the top AAA game. Shows how much you put on the line doing this, pilot or jumper. Mad respect.
But what happened to the pilots?

One managed to land, the other one who piloted the plane whose wing got ripped off jumped out with his emergency parachute.
That looks amazing!

The one with the exploding wing jumped out, the other managed to actually land his plane.
Damn it's like a scene from a movie. I like how the other wing falls off one of the planes at 1:43 and turns into a torpedo.
Watching this made me think, someone needs to make an action film similar to all the horror movies with the "found footage" idea.
It's so surreal. With the explosion and the people out on the strut of the wing that collides with the second plane, you'd almost be sure someone was hurt somehow, but it's incredible almost all of them made it out without a scratch. That's one hell of a video to show to friends and family.
that's fuckin intense

this is pretty rad

some say this video is actually the prequel to far cry 3
that should be a hell of a story to tell
That shit looked like something straight from Just cause 2.
Glad everyone is okay.
I remember reading an article about this, crazy shit, kinda cool that i can see a video
Only in Battlefield 4
Holy shit I was just playing medal of honor airborne.
The resemblance is uncanny
That one guy was probably the only guy to ever have been pinned between two airplanes in mid air
Had the video playing to Kenny Loggins "Danger Zone" and it's fucking intense and are the exact same length of time. Cool thing to have all the helmet cams to capture it from pretty much every angle. The most amazing thing is everyone being okay after the accident. Then again, that's the benefit of everyone having parachutes and being ready to jump out of the plane, I guess.

Well I'm sure someone has been pinned between two moving aircraft for a very brief amount of time before being cut in half or turned into fine paste.

Well, there was definitely some crashing.
i just don't get how the other pilot fucked up bad enough to crash into the other plane. that is absolutely inexcusable. there is NO good reason to have that happen.

Couldn't Turbulence be the course? I'm not that much familiar with aerodynamics and such - So I don't know if it can affect that much and at that height.
The other plane seemed to suddenly rise so It could have been a thermal current pushing him upwards all of a sudden.
I have a feeling all the guys hanging on the right side of the plane kind of caused the plane to bank slightly right without the pilot realizing it, then he lost sight of the plane and Ooooopsie
Once a plane is below you, you better just break the hell off
I wonder where the planes crash landed at, hope it didn't hurt anyone on the ground.

there is always a possibility of mechanical failure but if you're encountering turbulence, you shouldn't be close enough to crash into another plane anyway
Here's an NBC report with some interviewing of the people.

(I hate how they keep saying the footage is "licensed by NBC", though)
