A skydiving instructor and their customer died Sunday after falling from a plane before a tandem jump in Australia.
Police said two people died in the accident at Goulburn, about two hours' drive southwest of Sydney, after the aircraft began experiencing "difficulty".
-Two parachutists fell from the aircraft and landed near the runway of the airport. They were located unresponsive and unable to be revived- police said in a statement.
Scott Marshall, from Adrenaline Skydive Goulburn, told The Daily Telegraph newspaper it was a "horrible day" for all those impacted by the tragedy.
-Sadly, a tandem master and passenger lost their lives. My heart goes out to their families- he said.
The incident will be investigated by police and the Australian Transport Safety Bureau.
