State police say Theodore Wilson, of New Rochelle, New York, and George Flynn, of Colonia, New Jersey, tumbled about 75 feet to the ground after their open parachutes became entangled in the Pocono Mountains. Wilson was pronounced dead Saturday at Pocono Medical Center in East Stroudsburg. Flynn was taken to Lehigh Valley Hospital, but the Lehigh County Coroner's Office says he died Sunday.Rico says 'blunt-force trauma' means they hit the ground going too fast...
