Incroyable : ils sautent en parachute à travers les nuages

A French-language YouTube monologue (published Feb 7, 2024) recounts a tragic 1967 parachute jump from a vintage B-25 Mitchell in Ohio. The pilot overloaded the aircraft, took off into a compact cloud layer (about 4,000–6,000 ft), and — after navigation confusion with a following Cessna and a radar controller — dropped parachutists roughly 8 km off the coast over Lake Erie. Of the 20 people who ultimately jumped from the B-25, 18 exited through two different openings into cloud; after emerging over open water most were not wearing functional flotation gear. Two were rescued immediately but 16 of those 18 died. The story covers rescue efforts, the investigation (pilot lacked proper qualification, aircraft operated beyond allowable use), and the later fatal crash of the aircraft under a subsequent owner.
