If you have some need to see the original video file of the entire news show, use the second link. But beware, it’s a big file and unless you speak Polish it probably won’t be of great interest.

Kind of makes me want to put on the parachute thr next time my instructor asks me. Scary stuff, so since she bailed out I am assuming she had a prachute on and adequate height?
