One pilot became tangled in the lines and the paraglider of the other pilot hampering the deployment of the parachute until it was too late to be effective. The second pilot managed to deploy his emergency parachute which carried the weight of both pilots ultimately saving their both of their lives.

Forgive the naivety :o, but in so many videos we see the Milky Way beautifully plastered across the night sky - just like in this one. But would I see it like that in these locations if I were to just look up? I.e. away from light pollution, high up in terms of altitude etc. Or do the cameras used for filming these have huge light gathering capabilities/long exposures?

It's something I've often wondered! :)

Yeah you can. Its not as bright as in that vid though but it is pretty clearly defined. You really do need to be way out in the sticks though

Yes you can, although it's not nearly as defined or bright. The cameras used do have long exposures as well.

A clear sky, and seeing the universe is what called this gent to science.

On a perfect summer's evening, we have skies similar to that in the Isles of Scilly. Zero light pollution + great atmospheric conditions = sheer wonder. You can lie on the beach for hours staring up at the infinity stretched out in front of you, the sky more white from stars than black. It's awesome.
