Skydiver Dan Eaton after safely jumping from a hot-air balloon with four other skydivers, on orders from balloon pilot Edward Ristaino (below, in a photo taken by one of the skydivers), right before a fast-developing thunderstorm caught the balloon and sent it crashing to the ground in south Georgia. The skydivers say Ristaino, who was later found dead at the crash site, found a field for their jump and told them to jump to safety during the March 16 storm.
