You left out the absolute best part of this engineering disaster: his descent strategy.
His master plan to get down from 16,000 feet was to literally shoot the weather balloons one by one with a pellet gun. Naturally, he fumbled and dropped the gun halfway down, drifted directly into the LAX flight path, and finally crashed into a set of power lines, causing a massive neighborhood blackout.
When the cops immediately arrested him and asked why he did it, his only defense was, "A man can't just sit around." Absolute peak male hubris.
Baseball players Bob Uecker and Bob Gibson were photographed holding hands in the 1964 St. Louis Cardinals team photo. The playful moment didn’t sit well with team officials—both players were fined, and the club later had to retake the picture.
the best part about being left handed is when someone notices for the first time and says “YOURE LEFT HANDEDDDDD??” like u just did a really cool party trick
