几个星期后,拉里买了42个直径为1米的气象探测气球。他将气球绑在折椅上并注入氦气。接着他坐上椅子,带了一些啤酒,三明治和一支BB枪。拉里计划在他家后院飘起10米高左右,好好在空中享受几小时,然后用枪击破一些气球以回到地面。但是事情并没有按照拉里的计划进展。
When his friends cut the anchor lines, Larry, lifted by the 42 balloons, shot skyward at an astonishing speed. He finally settled at an altitude of 4,000 meters. Afraid to popany of the balloons, in case he should upset the balance of his “craft, Larry sat, cold and frightened, in the sky with his beer and sandwiches for 14 hours.
朋友们一切断锚线,拉里就被42个气球拉起,并以惊人的速度射向天际。最后他停在海拔4000米的高度上。担心击破一些气球会导致他的“飞行器失去平衡,拉里又冷又怕,与他的啤酒和三明治在空中坐了14个小时。
Airline pilots heading toward Los Angeles’ busy international airport radioed in reports of the strange sight. Larry’s presence in the skies caused numerous planes to be rerouted. Eventually, Larry worked up the nerve to shoot a few balloons and slowly descended, landing in power lines. Uninjured, he climbed down to safety and was arrested by waiting police.
