Ewa Wiśnierska is a German paraglider who was one of the world's topranked pilots. In February of 2007, Wiśnierska set her sights on winning the World Championships in Manila, Australia. She participated in a warmup event before the main event. The initially promising conditions took a turn as storm clouds started to form. Ewa is sent hurtling upwards. Despite her years of experience, she can't control the parachute. The horrifying realization hits her – she's being sucked right into the clouds.
