    Skydiver who crashed into Virginia Tech scoreboard says jumbotron saved lives

    A veteran skydiver, Pasha Palanker, crashed into Virginia Tech's scoreboard during a football game due to unexpected wind gusts. He credited the jumbotron with saving his life and that of fans by preventing the 1,100-square-foot American flag and its 26-pound anchor from hitting the stands. Palanker, a Purple Heart recipient, sustained shoulder injuries but plans to return to skydiving after recovery.
