The stunt of the pilots went horribly wrong. The duo jumped out of their respective planes from the altitude of 12,100 feet with the airbrake system engaged on both planes.
Luke was able to enter the plane while things didn’t turn out well for Andy who lost his control and was forced to abandon the stunt. He then utilizes his parachute.
Luckily, both the pilots landed safely on the ground.
Footage of the deadly stunt was live-streamed on Hulu. People who witnessed the stunt also posted their recordings online.
