LUCKY ESCAPE
CAUGHT IN MID-AIR SPEEDING TO DESTRUCTION By Telegraph—Copyright—Press Assn. LONDON, July 17. The Daily Telegraph’s Moscow correspondent says an army airman named' Krasikoff owes his life to one chance in a million. His parachute was ripped off when jumping and he was speeding like a bullet to the earth, when he collided with another parachutist named Noskoff, who seized him by the waist. The added weight of the pair dangerously accelerated the descent, but Krasikoff managed, 300 feet from the earth, to open Noskoff’s second parachute and landed safely though bruised.
