Instead it turned into a terrifying jump-for-your-life situation for a group of experienced skydivers, who are lucky to be alive following a scary collision between two light aircraft above Wisconsin. And the entire thing has been caught on camera. Heart-stopping footage captured on the helmet cams of the some of the jumpers has been unearthed by an NBC News Exclusive following the crash on Saturday, in which one Cessna suddenly sandwiched atop another. The collision sent one of the planes off into fire-balling into the distance, which can be seen in the video. All nine skydivers involved miraculously survived by spontaneously jumping out seconds after the crash and landing safely on the ground. 'We were just kind of lucky that we were at the point where we were out of the airplane,' said 64-year-old flight instructor Mike Robinson, who was in the lead plane. 'If we'd been back in the rear of the airplane when they collided it might have been a little bit different.' Both wings came off the lead plane in the collision and the pilot had to abandon the plane using a parachute on board. He was the only one with reported injuries, suffering from cuts as he exited the burning plane. The pilot of the other plane was able to pull out of a dive and land at Richard I. Bong Airport in Douglas County. One of the pilots and all nine skydivers will appear live in studio with Matt Lauer on the TODAY show tomorrow morning. Once out of the plane, the parachuters had to carefully maneuver their chutes to stay out of the path of raining debris. 'We're in free fall, so we're falling about 120 miles miles an hour vertically down,' Mr Robinson said. 'But then we open our parachutes, and now all of a sudden they're falling faster than we are...Fortunately, eveybody kept it together so they just avoided (the debris).' Miraculously, no one on the ground was injured by the falling wreckage - but plenty saw them crash to the ground. Mike Plaunt lives in the area and often hears and sees the skydivers, but he noticed something was off about yesterday's jump. 'I went outside and looked and could see parachuters and a drop plane, and then there was something spiraling down. I couldn't identify what it was..it had a trail of smoke and I had never seen that before,' he said. While Mr Robinson still doesn't know why exactly the two planes collided, he believes the lead plane may have created unstable air for the tracking plane. The Federal Aviation Administration will investigate the crash today. It's still uncertain what will happen to the skydiving company, since they only owned the two planes. But it is the end of their season anyway. Mr Robinson says the crash yesterday happened during the fourth jump of his day, and that he's done over 900 jumps in his lifetime. 'I'll remember this one more than most,' he said.
