VIDEO: Red Bull flying stunt ends badly as one plane spirals out of control, crashes

Two stunt pilots attempt first-ever skydive plane swap Sunday.

It didn’t go as planned

Red Bull conducted the stunt that involved a pair of pilots attempting to skydive into each other’s aircraft mid-flight.

But moments after both pilots bailed out of their planes, one of them started spiraling out of control.

One of the two pilots did make it safely to the other plane and the other pilot safely parachuted back to earth. And while no one was hurt by the mishap, the FAA is now investigating as the agency was said to have denied their permit to perform this stunt on Friday, yet they did it anyway.
