Hearing Nothing at the moment
I may have noted this story earlier, about a New Zealand skydiver who fell 12,000 feet when both his parachutes failed -- and lived. Now I have to goodies for you. First, the first person account from the skydiver about the whole event. And if that's not enough for you, the dude had a camera on his helmet during the drop -- here's the video (you need to be on Internet Explorer to see it, incidentally). Please note that just before the fellow hits the ground he utters a profanity, because, well. If you had just dropped 12,000 feet and thought you were going to die, wouldn't you?

It would have been funny if he lived, had enough time to realize what had happened... and then was killed by another sky diver landing on him. That's how My Kind Of God works.

Oh my. I could just feel the fear. See now that is why I don't fly and don't jump out of planes. Yikes.
