Two men recently walked away from a very frightening incident in central Florida, and now the photos are going viral.
It is hard to believe that no one was seriously hurt.
A small plane collided with a skydiver's parachute on Saturday, sending both the skydiver and plane to the ground.
The whole thing was caught on tape by photographer Tim Telford, according to CBS News.

The pilot was doing takeoff and landing maneuvers in his Cessna at the time. Both the plane and skydiver were less than 75 feet in the air at the time of the collision.
The 87-year-old pilot, a World War II veteran, walked away with just a few scratches. The 49-year-old skydiver was taken to the hospital, but was released after a day with just minor injuries.
The National Transportation Safety Board and Federal Aviation Administration are now investigating.
The airport is used by lots of skydivers on the weekends, and this one may have just drifted off course.
