Great story from Reuters here about a Brazilian priest who is missing after he drifted out to sea while trying to set a record for a flight using helium-filled party balloons!42-year-old, Roman Catholic priest, Father Adelir Antonio de Carli ,began his flight suspended in a harness-like seat from 1,000 different coloured balloons on Sunday in the southern port of Paranagua. Unexpected winds have carried him out over the south Atlantic in a totally different direction.
De Carli, had wanted to draw attention to the work of his parish in Paranagua, which targets mostly truck drivers who transport goods to and from the port but is now lost over the ocean with bits of balloon strewn all along the coast!
Rescue workers are now searching for him and hope to find him alive and
there are lots of islands along the route so it is possible.Such a funny story though and do wish the rescuers luck....... http://uk.reuters.com/article/oddlyEnoughNews/idUKN2228192120080422?pageNumber=2&virtualBrandChannel=0
