Google executive has broken the world record for highest free-fall parachute jump. Alan Eustace, 57 was yesterday morning lifted by a balloon filled with 35,000 cubic feet of helium from an abandoned runway at an airport in New Mexico.
The Google Senior Vice President performed a successful jump and returned to earth just 15 minutes after starting his fall, faster than the speed of sound. He broke Felix Baumgartner’s world altitude record 127,000 feet set just two years ago by jumping from 135,000 feet. Watch the video below.
