The Austrian skydivers Marco Fürst and Marco Waltenspiel have become the first people to successfully navigate a wingsuit flight through London's Tower Bridge. The duo leapt from a helicopter at 3,000ft and flew across the River Thames, reaching a top speed of 246km per hour during the jump. The stunt came after extensive training in Oxfordshire, which involved the use of cranes to simulate the Tower Bridge dimensions.
