Shields watched from his 18th-floor apartment. He and his roommate were talking when they looked out their east-facing window and saw a parachute.

“I was like, ‘Oh my God, there’s a paraglider outside.’ We almost couldn’t believe it so we went out onto the balcony and there was two of them coming down. I just took out my phone and took that video.”
