Helium Balloons: Man Crosses English Channel on Helium Balloons | PicBusters

Who has not dreamed of floating with colourful balloons as a child? Jonathan Trappe had a rather extreme version of this dream, because his dream was to actually cross the English Channel with a bunch of balloons. It sounds crazy but is actually feasible; after intensive preparation and with a starting permission in the bag the plan was given the green light in May 2010. The goal of the experienced balloonist is the northern French port of Dunkerque. The vehicle is a simple seat with nylon strings attached to 55 helium balloons. Equipped with radio and GPS, he lifts off early in the morning from Ashford, in the south of England. To gain height Jonathan drops ballast in the form of water; guided by light breezes he floats over green meadows and fields until he finally reaches the coast of England. Our PicBuster shows Jonathan at 2000 meters above the English Channel. He has just left the English coastal town of Dover behind. Undamaged and overjoyed, his landing was in a vegetable field in the French Dunkerque. Jonathan Trappe may not be the first person to have crossed the English Channel, but he was definitely the first to do so with the help only of colourful balloons. ================================== If you like this video, share, like, comment & don't forget to subscribe for more content!
