Surely they would have know there was another aircraft nearby??

If they are in freefall (lets say 100mph) then that aircraft must be travelling at 200knots+ which is far too quick for a Porter isn't it?

The first video. I'm pretty sure that the aircraft that streaks past is the same plane that they have just departed.
It's during skydive competitions they add as many different elements to a video to make it as diverse and unique as poss. The plane diving towards the ground as the skydivers are in free fall is an element that is becoming more common in the comp videos.
