Skydivers' Planes Collide Mid-Air; All Survive

Nine skydivers made an incredible safe return to earth after a terrifying plane collision that caused one to burst to flames.

The fiery scene, which unfolded 12,000 feet in the air above Wisconsin Saturday evening, was captured on five helmet cameras worn by the divers as they were flung into the air.

The footage, obtained exclusively by NBC News, shows the jumpers landing on the ground, one by one, shaken and emotional but uninjured, and hopping into a truck to gather up the others. The skydivers and one of the planes' pilots will appear on TODAY Tuesday to tell the harrowing story of their survival.

All the skydivers opened their chutes and landed safely; the pilot of the first plane got out alive, too, using his emergency parachute.
