Skydiver dies after legs severed in midair

A skydiving cinematographer was killed after his legs were severed in a midair collision with the airplane he had jumped from, authorities said. Albert ”Gus” Wing III had already deployed his parachute on Saturday when he struck the left wing of the DHC-6 Twin Otter propeller plane at about 180m, a witness on the ground told police.
