It was the shocking true crime that gripped Netflix subscribers who watched documentary The Parachute Murder Plot and now Channel 4 looks to retell that jaw-dropping story.
A brand new series will lay bare the incidents of the attempted murder of skydiver Victoria Cilliers by her husband Emile - over three nights with dramatic reconstructions
In April 2015, Victoria plummeted a horrifying 4,000ft at Netheravon airfield, Wiltshire, after her main and reserve parachutes failed to open.
Miraculously, although she suffered a broken spine and pelvis and fractured ribs, she did survive because she landed on freshly plough farmland.
The subsequent investigation revealed that her kit had been tampered with by her husband, Army sergeant Emile, but Victoria, a victim of coercive control, didn’t want to believe that the man she loved could be so callous – and she herself tried to cover up his heinous crime.

Then its your fault if it doesn’t work. :)
MISS THAT SHOW
A close friend of mine fell backward through the barn roof and dropped about 30 ft. landing on her back.
The only thing that saved her was the dairy cow manure slurry. True, but sh*tty story!
Good story. Thank you. I try to live every day like this.
I was going to ask if this was at the Randolph AFB in S/A where We watched a member of the Golden knights go into the trees (no hanger FR after the Main and Reserve Chutes failed.
As reported in the book Into the Silk, The story of The Caterpillar Club a B17 pilot who’s chute was burned beyond use opted to jump rather than burn to death in the still flying but doomed plane, fell 18,000 feet and walked away with barely a scratch. He fell thru one of those 80 some odd foot tall pines. The top branches broke off and slowed him down and the lower heaved branches bounced him. If I recall he died a few years later riding a dirt bike in the woods when a tree fell and hit him.
That article states that this was her 2650th jump from an airplane.
It sounds like she either had a death wish or was an adrenalin junkie.
....and he ain't gonna jump no more.
Wiley Coyote used to do stuff like this all the time and next week, he’d be back again!
IIRC, Love field in Dallas.
St. Michael watches over the Golden Knights.

wow! one tree saved him and another took him out.
The ex wife warned her, so she didn’t have a leg to stand on.
