VIDEO - More coverage of Sloan Carafello's Suicide by Jumping from a Plane with no Parachute.
Carafello took photos of himself on the way down. Footage includes interview with Bob Rawlins, pilot and owner of Duanesburg Skydiving in upstate New York. He claimed he had a school project and just wanted to take photos but once the door was open he leaped from the plane, without a chute, following a student, instructor, and videographer who were able to film him on the way down... At the end of his fall, Carafello hit a house near Routes 7 and 20 in Duanesburg. He had left "General Swarzenegger" as his next of kin / emergency contact.
