A clergyman in Brazil tied himself to balloons and was to fly into an area, I guess, to spread the word when he landed...

Well they can't find him and if he landed in the ocean he's a goner...the air force gave uplooking for him...
he was prepared with a waterproof suit,a few other needed things EXCEPT NO PHONE OR RADIO TRANSMITTER WAS MENTIONED!!
   

oH GEEZZZZ another Einstein(lucky it wasn't from here)

These posts of yours would make more sense if you posted a link supporting this. Maybe a news article.

1. He was doing this stunt to raise money to build a rest stop for truckers in Paranagua, a primary port of Brazil.

2. He was carrying a parachute, a GPS, a satellite phone, and enough cereal bars and water to last him five days.

3. He may have been headstrong, and the plan may not have been as well thought out as it should have been, but his heart was in the right place. That hardly makes him an idiot.

Oh, but I forgot, anyone who isn't a true blue, red blooded American is an idiot in your book. Right, saver? ::)

Sorry to break your balloon but ANYONE who does something outof the ordinary that runs up extra money for ??govnt.,city, or others tax money..or hazardous to ones life i call them on it.

Kids who do car surfing and nearly kill themselves or others-brainless IDIOTS...Nationality has nothing to do with it, we have stupid people everywhere, ..just like a hiker who fell into Mt. St. Helens..someone had to risk their life to pluck him out..


As far as posting with threadlines, I used to copy the stories and others said list the site..I'll include where I saw it, if they list it for a particular story..this balloon story was part of their teaser headlines..but I'll see if it's easy to do...

When I first heard of it, the news channels hyped iot as a hiker falls into an active volcano..when I watched, it had snow and I  thought they said ST. Helens and it triggered a little avalanche.. as Hawaii wouldn't have been snowed in.

I wonder if he broke the clustered-ballon flight altitude record set by Lawn Chair Larry who, in 1979, was reported at 10,000 feet by a DC-9 pilot over Los Angeles?

Larry tethered 47 balloons to a Sears lawn chair for his flight.  And he carried a BB gun to shoot out balloons so as to obtain a controlled descent.  ;D
