The Life, Death and Resurrection of Lawnchair Larry | Tales From the Bottle

The topics in Tales From the Bottle videos, while bizarre to a comical extent, too often end in tragedy. This story is no different, but maybe this time the tears are bittersweet. This is the story of Lawnchair Larry

"On July 2, 1982, Larry Walters made a 45-minute flight in a homemade airship made of an ordinary patio chair and 45 helium-filled weather balloons. The aircraft rose to an altitude of over 15,000 feet (4,600 m) and floated from the point of takeoff in San Pedro, California, into and violating controlled airspace near Los Angeles International Airport. During the landing, the aircraft became entangled in power lines, but Walters was able to safely climb down. The flight attracted worldwide media attention and inspired a later movie and imitators."
