Summary
A paragliding instructor in California’s desert caught惊魂 footage of a massive dust devil forming right as she landed—just one of many terrifying encounters these whirlwinds have had with skydivers and paragliders. These spinning columns of dust, fueled by heat, can reach hundreds of feet and whip winds up to 60 mph, posing serious danger to landing pilots. Tragically, a skydiving instructor died in February after a dust devil struck her and a student. Even though they’re common and usually short-lived, these invisible threats remind us: calm skies can hide chaos—especially when you’re airborne.
