Olga, from Kirov, western Russia was the last of the three women to jump from the jet on July 27 as she followed her two pals on the daring dive.
A proud onlooker commends the women for bravely tackling the humongous jump.
But his calmness quickly turns into panic as Olga’s parachute fails to open and the alarmed man starts yelling expletives in Russian.
She dramatically drops downwards far faster than her friends as her parachute picks up speed.
The jump organiser, with known links to the Russian military, roars through a megaphone, instructing her to use the reserve parachute.
He screams “spare” over five times via the loudspeaker at the top of his lungs in reference to the backup.
Olga appears unaware how or unable to operate the emergency skydiving equipment.
She dramatically crash lands into a birch tree.
Olga was rushed to hospital where she was found with serious fractures, according to reports.
She seemed to be miraculously recovering with a relative saying she could even get herself out of bed.
The family member said: “She was taken to the hospital by an ambulance after the jump.
“At first she was recovering. Later she woke up at night under anaesthetic after surgery and went to the bathroom.
“But she was not allowed to get up due to pain and shock.”
However, her condition worsened and she died.
The hospital confirmed she died from injuries sustained in the fall.
The flying club refused to comment on her death but a criminal probe has been launched into the tragedy.
The dream-come-true activity was believed to be her first ever time skydiving.
Her funeral took place this week.
