Eleven people were killed when a plane crashed in eastern France on Sunday. The civilian aircraft, operated by a parachuting school, was carrying five students and five instructors, local authorities told news outlets. All 10 passengers, along with the pilot, were killed in the crash in the town of Tomblaine. The president of a regional nurses’ organization in France told domestic news channel BFMTV that the victims were “half nurses and half instructors” and that the trip was a “hazing ritual.”

At least the tik tok they recorded on the way down went massively viral (probably).

Do you even BASE jump, Baw?

Also, just because they have stunning features and chiseled abs, it doesn’t mean they too can’t not die in a freak gasoline fight, er, I mean parachuting accident.

This is just another example of one of the ways I will not die from.

If you mean “riding in a small plane”, fair enough. If you mean “skydiving”, you should read the article again.

If it opened it might be worth the chance, the other option didn't work out very well.

The misplaced modifier makes it much less tragic.

A freak accident while on a parachuting flight might be sad, could be kids, nuns, nice normal people.

Freaks parachuting and they die?
