The balloons, attached to the chair by four ropes, were arranged in four tiers above the chair. Although Walters wasn't the first to try taking to the sky with helium balloons, he was the first to hit anything like the altitude he did. In 2007, an Oregon petrol-station proprietor 'flew' 240 miles in a lawn chair powered by balloons. A Brazilian priest who went up in 2008 strapped to 1,000 helium balloons drowned in the Atlantic.

PUTRAJAYA: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim always prioritised the agenda of "Empowering the Indian Community” in line with the national development process, says Deputy Entrepreneurship Development and Cooperatives Minister Datuk R. Ramanan. But certain parties continue to play up the sentiment of 'hate politics’, claiming that the Prime Minister is marginalising the Indians. He said all these initiatives for the Indian community entrepreneurs could not have been realised without the Prime Minister's mandate. We must stand together and be united to make the mission of transforming the Indian community successful. "My advice to the Indian community is to capitalise on the various assistance, initiatives and opportunities provided by the government to improve their businesses for a better future for the Indian community, especially in business,” he said.

Half of the officer's legs were submerged in the water, but that did not deter him from working. Source: FacebookThis is after an undated video showed him managing traffic under challenging weather conditions. How police officer helped motorists mark the roadIn the clip shared by Alfred Koech-Sergent, the officer, clad in a reflective green jacket, stood resiliently on the flooded roadway.
