A total of 11 people in two skydive aircraft escaped relatively unscathed after a midair collision near Superior in northwestern Wisconsin on Saturday. There were four skydivers and a pilot in one aircraft and five jumpers and a pilot in the second plane when the second plane contacted the first. "We were just a few seconds away from having a normal skydive when the trail plane came over the top of the lead aircraft and came down on top of it," skydiver Mike Robinson told USA Today. "It turned into a big flash fireball and the wing separated." All the jumpers and one pilot parachuted to safety. The pilot of the second aircraft was able to land it safely.
