An unsuspecting family in Russia’s southern Krasnodar region received a surprise Thursday morning when a young skydiver made an emergency landing on the air conditioner outside their 13th-floor apartment.
The young man, said to be a student at a local flight school, was unharmed.
Video of the incident quickly spread on social media and attracted local media attention.
The apartment’s owners were reportedly unruffled by the unexpected incursion. While the parachute, which had become tangled with the air conditioner, continued to hang, they helped the young man climb inside and even treated him to breakfast.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
