A tragic skydiving accident in Tianjin, China, claimed the life of 24-year-old Li Qi, a former bank employee who had recently joined Beijixing Tianjin Skydive Base. The incident occurred on April 26, when Li was participating in a jump with an instructor as part of a marketing initiative. Moments before the jump, she sent a distressing message to her mother expressing her anxiety and lack of preparation. The parachute was reportedly blown off course by strong winds, leading to a landing in water. While other groups landed safely, Li and her instructor were carried away, and it took rescue teams about six hours to recover their bodies. The skydiving operations at the site have been suspended pending an investigation into the company's safety practices and equipment maintenance. Li's boyfriend mentioned that she had left her stable bank job for this opportunity, which was closer to home and did not involve jumping.
