Play stupid games, win stupid prices. Hope they all made it safely down to earth. Next time keep plenty of distance.

I once went skydiving. The next time that plane took off it crashed and killed all 6 people on board. Including 3 I’d jumped with. They were too low for chutes to deploy. Thankfully these folks had sufficient altitude.

A total of 71 people, including school children, were killed when a civilian and a cargo jet crashed into each other over Germany back in 2002.
