France's BEA aviation safety agency described the crash as the deadliest general aviation accident in French history, excluding military and commercial flights. Transport Minister Philippe Tabarot said there had not been such a serious parachuting accident in roughly 30 years.

The five student skydivers were nurses making their first jump, according to Thierry Pechey, head of the Meurthe-et-Moselle nursing council. Pechey said they had decided to go skydiving "to unwind" during a difficult period marked by a heatwave.

The aircraft, a Pilatus registered in Germany, fell "almost vertically" shortly after taking off from Nancy-Essey airfield, according to Seguy. Tomblaine Mayor Hervé Feron said the plane crashed "in a completely unexplained manner" during its ascent.

The plane came down on a cycle path near a residential area and a shopping centre, narrowly missing nearby homes. Nancy Mayor Mathieu Klein noted the victims died "in full view of their loved ones, who were preparing to film the tandem skydives."
