Episode 30 - Franz Reichelt, ”The Flying Tailor”

On the morning of February 4, 1912, a man named Franz Reichelt stepped out onto the edge of the Eiffel Tower. He paused there for about 40 seconds as if he was gathering his courage. Then, he threw himself into the air. He didn't intend to die — this wasn't an Eiffel Tower suicide attempt. Instead, Franz Reichelt had set out to prove that his prized invention, a bizarre parachute suit, could deliver him safely to the ground. https://allthatsinteresting.com/franz-reichelt credits: https://allthatsinteresting.com/podcast-credits Learn more about your ad choices.
