YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

A sightseeing plane collided with a paraglider on May 23 above the Austrian Alps near Piesendorf in the Salzburg region of Austria, with footage showing the aircraft slicing into the canopy midair. The impact shredded the paraglider, sending her spiraling before she deployed her emergency reserve parachute and survived. Authorities have charged the 28-year-old pilot with negligent bodily harm.
