Shown here - and ONLY here - for the first time online is the amazing video from the helmet camera of British skydiver Michael Holmes.


It shows him plummeting 12,000ft to earth after both his parachutes failed, saying goodbye to the world... and hitting the ground with a sickening thud at 80mph.

Michael's friend, who jumped from the same plane, also filmed the whole event. He found his pal bleeding and unconscious - but alive.

Now watch the incredible footage...

That's crazy. Yesterday on Howard Stern, Howard was interviewing the old drummer from Lynyrd Skynyrd (Artemus Pyle) who survived their plane crash. The guy described it in detail--he was conscious through the whole thing.
