A plane belonging to a sky diving school in Solothurn crashed yesterday, killing the pilot.
But the 11 skydivers on board were able to bail out in time and land safely.
The plane came down near the Granges airfield at around 2pm. Witnesses say the aircraft hit the ground vertically.
Investigations are now underway.
