Tandem skydivers plunge to their death in tragic accident
There's been a tragic end to a tandem skydive in Sydney's southwest with both divers plunging to their deaths.
The pair crashed onto the driveway of a property several kilometres from their landing zone at Wilton.
The men are believed to be an instructor and student in their 20s and 60s.
Well off course the pair struck trees before landing heavily in the front of a rural property.
The property owner raised the alarm after finding their bodies, calling police to the front of his property on Wilton Road at about 2pm on Saturday.
They were meant to land in the Sydney Skydrivers drop zone but came down several kilometres away.

What went so tragically wrong is now the focus for investigators.
The property where they landed has been sealed off and declared a crime scene.
While she didn't see the men crash, a young girl who lives nearby saw the men's bodies on the driveway and is receiving counselling.
Sydney Skydivers said it is unable to comment on the cause of Saturday’s tragedy.
