I don't know what it is about that site, but my firewalls and blockers
will not accept it. At least one of them has it on the blocked list.

Strange, U-Tube works, but it also blocks the CNN site video.
I also saw the other U-tube clip but that one did not appear to show
the tow rope impact as did this one.

In the first video it appeared he just pulled the nose up and then
blew the chute. In the second one you can see the tow rope.

Now if he'd just get smart enough to fly the airplane and have some
one else do the photography, or will he be like the guy we had at the
airport that ran out of gas three times in a couple of months before
trashing a 172. Then he had another one for maybe 6 months before he
stalled the engine on a taxiway, got out and propped it (battery was
dead) but forgot to retard the throttle. It left without him and ended
up in the trees on the SW corner of the airfield. About 6 months later
he piled up and Emeraud putting himself and another guy in the
hospital. They did both survive and the Emeraud is flying. (different
pilot):-)).
