Helmet camera shows skydiver's remarkable jump from World Trade Center

BY ROCCO PARASCANDOLA , SHAYNA JACOBS , TINA MOORE NEW YORK DAILY NEWS


WARNING GRAPHIC LANGUAGE IN VIDEO



It’s 1 World Trade Center like it’s never been seen before — through a helmet camera worn by one of three skydivers who jumped from the top of the skyscraper in September.

The footage, a copy of which was posted to YouTube by the skydivers, is breathtaking — and maybe even a little too much to handle if one is afraid of heights.

The skydiver first waits for one of his high-flying companions to jump. Then he too plummets toward the street, and the camera provides a remarkable perspective of the 1,776-foot-tall tower and the city lights.

The daredevil then pulls the cord on his parachute, and rides out a landing onto West Street.
