Two skydivers died after crashing into a building during a tandem jump on Cape Cod, police said on Monday. | |
Andrew Munson, of Nantucket, and his instructor, Eldon Burrier, of West Lynnwood, Washington, died Sunday while skydiving at the Marstons Mills Airport in Barnstable. | |
Their identities were made public Monday by Cape and Island district attorney Michael O’Keefe and Barnstable police chief Paul McDonald. | |
Munson, 29, and Burrier, 48, were involved in a tandem jump from a plane operated by Sky Dive Barnstable. They struck a shed on private property adjacent to the airport. | |
Centerville fire captain Sean Greene told WBZ-TV that the building was outside their designated landing area. | |
Barnstable police sergeant David Myett told the Boston Globe that it was unclear whether the skydivers’ equipment malfunctioned. He said the district attorney’s office will investigate their deaths. |
