Açıklama:

Two fatal skydiving accidents are under investigation in Illinois. On Wednesday, a 40‑year‑old experienced skydiver died after a mid‑air collision during a group jump near the Chicagoland Skydiving Center; a second skydiver was injured. Earlier in the week, Dr. Noel Liu, a newly licensed solo skydiver, died during a jump in LaSalle County after losing control despite deploying his parachute. Multiple agencies, including the FAA and NTSB, are investigating both incidents, ABC 7 News has reported. Skydiving fatalities remain rare, with only nine reported nationwide last year.
