MAN: I stepped out. Counted to ten. Pulled. But all I got was this horrid flapping sound. I knew I was falling way too fast. Somehow I kept thinking it wasn’t happening and my ‘chute would open up. So, even as the ground came rushing up, I was still saying ‘9,000, 10,000 pull. 9,000, 10,000, pull.’
WOMAN: So we landed
SFX: PLANE LANDING
WOMAN: safely on the ground in Berlin. It was like 9 hours later, and it was 10 o’clock at night. Alright I know it’s not your typical honeymoon destination but I was just so excited.
