Skydivers witness total solar eclipse mid-air

Dramatic video shows the moment a woman and her father jumped from a plane in Texas during Monday’s solar eclipse.

Footage shows the two freefalling from 14,000ft (4267m) then floating with a parachute as the sky begins to darken.

Across North America, tens of millions watched as the Moon moved between the Earth and the Sun, turning day to night. The continent will not see another total solar eclipse until 2044.
