Two men go skydiving with cameras on their helmets. For one of them, everything goes well. For the other... not so well: neither chute functions and he hits the ground at 80mph. Video footage and post jump interview here. {via waxy}

How many died needlessly? If those who jumped from the WTC had parachutes, they probably would live to tell of it.
