Che emozione tornare in oceano per un viaggio lungo come questo. Che emozione disormeggiare e stivare le cime. Non serviranno per quasi un mese, d’altronde, e questo non è già da solo un evento straordinario? Gli ultimi giorni sono stati pieni di imprevisti e rallentamenti. Di lavori e sudore. Ma che importa, quando voli a 8 nodi verso una notte di oceano e di promesse. Niente luna, buio dappertutto, ma tanta luce a bordo di questa piccola oasi che corre verso casa. Non di quella visibile agli occhi, s’intende. ❤️ Camilla
The Tragic Story of Franz Reichelt and His Failed Parachute Suit Jump from the Eiffel Tower Franz Reichelt, an Austrian-born French tailor, inventor, and parachuting pioneer, died while testing his parachute suit by jumping off the Eiffel Tower in 1912. Reichelt had become fixated on developing a suit for aviators that would convert into a parachute and allow them to survive a fall should they be forced to leave their aircraft in mid-air. Despite numerous efforts to dissuade him, Reichelt was adamant about taking the jump himself. The parachute failed to deploy, and he plunged 187 ft (57 m) to his death. This video tells the tragic story of Franz Reichelt and his failed parachute suit jump from the Eiffel Tower.
