Amazing photographs!
Both a pilot and a sky diver were able to walk away nearly unscathed after a potentially deadly collision in Polk County Saturday morning, deputies said.
According to deputies, 87-year-old pilot, Shannon L. Trembley, was practicing landings in his single-engine Cessna in Mulberry about 11 a.m.
At the same time, John Frost, a 49-year-old sky diver from Gainesville, was landing in the same area.
The wings of Trembley's plane became tangled in the lines of Frost's parachute. The lines were cut sending Frost flying and Trembley's plane into a nose dive to the ground.
