A catholic priest in Brazil is missing after he launched himself in a chair attached to Helium Balloons!
maybe he will meet up with the flying nun and pioneer some kind of Airbased Religious Sect, or A.R.S. for short.
lolzords…

mqabey he is too impatient to see god lol, and doesnt like suicide, being a priest and all, (hed never get there lol) so flying seems the only other logical solution lol
Scott… knowing nothing about religion lol
they found the balloons but not him. Supporting my theory.
and mine lol, hes with god now lol
how do you reckon he is taking it all, now that he knows…
this guy was actually prepared enough to be wearing a thermal suit and a parachute, it’s possible he had to ditch somewhere remote and hasn’t got back to civilistion yet.
Haha, “I shouldent be alive!” Priest Edition.
I heard about it on the radio…what?
Or maybe the FSM:D (I am a pastafarian)
Wasn’t there another guy who was attempting to do the same thing but had to let air out of his balloons because he got into restricted air space???
Yeah, his name was Larry Walters, known as LawnChair Larry, his story is a classic.
Update: they never found him.
I don’t get it. Why do aircraft controllers at an airport care about something floating 11,000 or more feet above them? I guess because he wasn’t actually over the airport, where planes fly pretty low, but probably getting into their flight paths where they’re higher up. Also if he looks like a guy in a lawnchair there’s a good chance he will suddenly descend (or plummet) to where he is in front of airplanes…
I think it is more of a control thing. Pilots spend years training, this fella was just having a sit. Pilots dont like that. It makes pilots Mad. A Mad pilot is more likely to do something outrageous. That makes other pilots look bad. I know these things, i visited some in the Cockpit (although feminists will correct you with ‘genitalpit’ and a hammer) when i was young.
I don’t think it was the pilots who fined him–probably the control tower operators or other “guys in charge”, not pilots.
(bump)
yes but then i would not have been able to type all that nonsense about pilots.
shhh
