Parachute Fails to Open Man Disintegrates on Impact with the Ground

That's a horror. We've seen other failed parachute accidents where the body is pretty much intact, so this guy must have jumped from WAY high up. His one hand is even charred, as if it burst into flame as he reentered the Earth's atmosphere.
 
And he was singing "Hey Mr Spaceman" as he fell? :happy banana:
 
I am unfamiliar with the tune, "Hey Mr Spaceman". I almost certain my dear Janis never sang it.
 
But the Byrds did,, my friend Alex -

Lyrics
Woke up this morning with light in my eyes
And then realized it was still dark outside
It was a light coming down from the sky
I don't know who or why

Must be those strangers that come every night
Those saucer shaped lights put people uptight
Leave blue green footprints that glow in the dark
I hope they get home alright

Hey, Mr. Spaceman
Won't you please take me along
I won't do anything wrong
Hey, Mr. Spaceman
Won't you please take me along for a ride

Woke up this morning, I was feeling quite weird
Had flies in my beard, my toothpaste was smeared
Over my window, they'd written my name
Said, "So long, we'll see you again"

Hey, Mr. Spaceman
Won't you please take me along
I won't do anything wrong
Hey, Mr. Spaceman
Won't you please take me along for a ride

Hey, Mr. Spaceman
Won't you please take me along
I won't do anything wrong
Hey, Mr. Spaceman
Won't you please take me along for a ride
