The two dare devils appeared to be on the same flight trajectory — with the first parachuter, carrying a smaller flag, flying over the video board safely. kristinthorne/instagramThe second parachuter, however, appeared to have caught some wind on their descent, causing a dramatic collision right into the massive C of “Tech.”
The game, slated for 3 p.m. kick-off, was delayed for over an hour as emergency personnel deployed a crane to rescue the stuck parachuter.
