Lawsuit.
heck of story...went looking to fill in the blanks.
here’s a more robust account...it happened in Novemember
I question the speed. I simply don’t think it is possible for a human to hit an immovable object at 80MMPH and survive.

Our dad survived WWII, Korea and Vietnam as a pilot, and on the ground sometimes. He stated that there were two kinds of people that jump out of airplanes. Idiots, and people in the Armed Forces. If he still had two wings, he refused to jump. He was flying a smaller, spotter plane in Vietnam when he was shot down. He used the tops of the trees to slow down. Fortunately, the good guys arrived first. He had a drawer full of medals. The only time he put them on was when some General ordered him. Like many others, he did not talk about all of it very much. He did once say that the true heroes were the ones that did not come back.
A commercial for Twin Towers interviewed a vet who survived a parachute jump. Horrible injuries to legs and spine.
