The accident hap pened when rhe first parachute didn' t openproperly. Mr Mcllwee tried to solve the problem, but when hecouldn't, he tried to get rid of that chute and usc the second,emergency par achute tha t skydivers always carry with them.A few ho urs ago I spoke to Beverly's father, DennisMurtaugh, who explained what happened next. His word swere spoken by an actor because the line was nor good whenwe ta lked .

DENNIS : Unfor tunately, Kevin wasn 't a ble to jen iso n th e firs tparachute properly so the emergency chute wouldn't open andthey just fell faster and faster. Kevin told me that th ey thoughtthat was it, they were going to die.

SUI'.; SO how did they survive?DENNIS: It was pure luck, I suppose. I mean they onl y had ha lf a

parachute to slow them down. They hit the ground at anabsolutely fantas tic speed. It could have killed them.

SUE: How does your daughter feel about pa rachuting now?DENN IS: She's never going to do another jump !SUE: I'm not sur prised.DENN IS: She's only just star ting to realise bow lucky she is. When Ispoke to her she said she was looking out of the window from

her hospital bed enjoy ing seeing the dayl ight and the birds.SUE: Beverly Mcllwee needs a number of operations and will be in

a wheelchair for weeks. She has broken bones in her leg, ankl eand both o f her feet. Her husband bas a brok en leg. Jim?

In the south-east, thi ngs are much the same. though nor quireas wa rm as in the south-west. But I don't expect temperatu resto fa ll below freezing tonight.
