bouncing up and down, like some type of earthquake. if he rips out the tail of the airplane, the airplane can go into a dead spin and nobody will be able to get out. there s nothing nobody can do to save him. i mean, there s no way that you can climb the tail to the back and try to release him. that s that s only in the movies. there s only one thing the skydivers left inside can do. jump. the pilot increases airspeed to counter the turbulence, but that puts more pressure on orlando s chute. as norman descends, his thoughts and his video remain with his friend, who s still dangling from the back of the plane. i m flying down, i can see the plane just getting further and further and i see orlando, just on the plane and the only thing that went through my mind was, cut away. that s the only thing you can think of. i don t know if he s conscious,
type of earthquake. if he rips out the tail of the airplane, the airplane can go into a dead spin and nobody will be able to get out. there s nothing nobody can do to save him, there s no way you can climb to the tail to the back and try to release him. that s only in the movies. there s only one thing can skydivers left inside can do jump. the pilot increases airspeed to counter the turbulence, but that puts more pressure on orlando s chute. as norman descends, his thoughts and his video remain with his friend, who s still dangling from the back of the plane. i m flying down, i can see the plane just getting further and further and i see orlando, just on the plane and the only thing that went through my mind was, cut away. that s the only thing you can think of. i don t know if he s conscious, i don t know if he knows what s
was, cut away. that s the only thing you can think of. i don t know if he s conscious, i don t know if he knows what s going on at this point. orlando amador remains conscious, but he and the plane are still in grave danger. orlando s own camera is still recording. there was a lot of tension from the canopy pull. i didn t realize it was open. i just felt the tension. i was trying to hold on with my hands until the pull was so strong that i just couldn t hold. it wasn t until i looked up and saw the plane was still there that i realized, this ain t normal, this ain t good. we have to do something about it. all skydivers carry a second chute called a reserve and that reserve is orlando s only hope. he has to cut away his primary and pray the backup works. just as he releases, his tangle primary canopy shreds from the wind rushing over the tail. orlando still clenches the rip cords in his hand, free falling from 12,000 feet. at 4,500 feet, he pulls his reserve.
