David Blaine hanging off some balloons above Arizona.
Pretty cool.
You're only green. I'm not sure if you should be posting.
It's not easy being green
Bindun. And not as cool as a deckchair and a gun!

In defending against charges later filed against him by the FAA, he stated that he intended to rise just a few hundred feet (about 100 metres), but underestimated helium's lifting power, causing his tethering strap to break prematurely. Walters quickly rose to nearly 3 miles (5 km), over 50 times his intended maximum altitude. Walters reportedly had planned to control his altitude by using a pellet gun to selectively pop some of the balloons. However, he was initially hesitant to shoot any balloons, as he was concerned about falling out due to a loss of stability. Reaching a high altitude and seeing no other way of getting down, he eventually shot several of the balloons, initiating his descent.

Oh look, it's David Blaine doing something pointless.
Do we want him to float too high or plummet to his death?
I'm voting for too high.
Can he not float too high then plummet?
Who knew Yazz could look ~32 years into the future? 😮
I care more about the Old Pixar guy in UP (saddest start to a animated film ...eva)than I ever could about Blaine.
I care more about the dog in UP! than Blaine.

It’s not easy being green
Cheaper though.
You wonder why he did it somewhere unpopulated?
Cheaper though.
Not as cheap as that shot though.
He's hardly Felix B though...
Not seen him in years. He's ballooned.
It'll never be as cool as a 450bhp garden shed...
Truly the Git Wizard (With acknowledgements to The Now Show).
Even all the ‘dreamed of this forever’, ‘I could DIE!’ , ‘science and technology’ etc hype and build up just can’t bring any excitement to this.
Now have to watch to the end to see if it’s as dull as I imagined.
Hang on... (arf) ... 3 hours?? 😂
David Blaine redefines magic tedium once again for an unprecedented live event at a time when the world could use a positive distraction.
UP made me cry. This is just crap.
he has a parachute..... what a bottlejob.

...and he left it on the ground. Flytipper
