Take a break from Michael Cohen’s bumbling, and Joe Biden’s mumbling, and enjoy this video of two Australians wingsuit diving for Red Bull. They jump out of the helicopter at over 3,200 feet. What’s even more amazing is that they swooshed through London’s Tower Bridge at high speed. But, they didn’t go under the bridge.
The skydivers don’t just free-fall and then pull the parachute. They have to carefully navigate themselves toward the bridge, pull off the “flare”, and avoid hitting the ancient stone towers.
Amazing:
The duo spent two years preparing for this jaw-dropping stunt. Each has completed over 22,000 skydives.
The New York Post reports that Marco Furst and Marco Waltenspiel, two Austrian skydivers, compete for Red Bull. According to the New York Post, Marco Furst and Marco Waltenspiel are two Austrian professional skydivers who compete for Red Bull.
In this video, an outlet reported that a pair of daredevils was seen performing a “flare maneuver” towards the river. A cloud of pink is trailing the daredevils.
The reality was much more impressive than expectations.
“I just feel amazing. The jump was beautiful and everything worked out well,” Fürst told The Post.
“Over these past two and a half years, we’ve planned and trained to perfection. I enjoyed the trip. And I’m grateful that Marco and his team made our dream come true.”
The bridge posted several videos of the stunt from various angles and claimed that it had never been done before.
A view of the speed at 150 mph:
