Pilot Jumps from Plane Mid-Flight | Auckland News
Description
A shocking mid-air tragedy unfolded in Argentina when flight instructor Leandro Bertazzo, 42, jumped from a Cessna 150 during a training flight—leaving his student, Rosario, 22, to land safely. Bertazzo reportedly told her, “You know what you have to do, carry on,” before exiting. The plane suffered no damage, but Bertazzo was found dead. His employer called him a kind, dedicated pilot with no known history of such behavior. Authorities are now investigating how this unthinkable act occurred, as opening a plane door mid-flight is nearly impossible—like trying to open a car door at high speed.
