Happened in the UK. They didn't manage to track down the pilot IIRC.

There's a .45 fish eye lens on the camera, so it's actually closer than it looks.

NSFW language.

Why would they have to 'track down the pilot'?  The meatbombs are invisible, it's not like the plane did that on purpose.  If was the responsibility of the jumpers and the jump pilot to clear the area, I get the impression that you feel that the pilot of the 'intercepting' aircraft is at fault.  If that's not true, do tell.

Chairboy,

It was likely that the jumpers were using an established jump zone by or at an airport. As such the aircaft in the area are instructed to avoid flying through the jump zone even though it would normally be an area they would use to get to the pattern or just to overfly the field. FWIW an aircraft is supposed to avoid a jump zone and they are listed on sectional maps for that purpose. If that field had unicom, jump operations and the area to avoid flying into would have been announced even if there is no tower.
