World Trade Center BASE Jump

Not the best BASE jump video ever. Three guys jumped off the World Trade Center tower and are now facing felony charges of some kind. It's at night, and the view from the top of the tower is pretty good -- not great, but pretty good.

I don't know why these guys have to use bad language when they know the footage is going to be widely viewed on the Internet, but ... oh, well.

And I don't know why the guy dumped so high -- no freefall at all. The canopy is open almost before you realize he's jumped. Why not fall for a while? Youère only -- mon dieu! My keyboard has switched to francais! (No cedilla under the Èc,È though -- maybe itès only the apostrophe key thatès gone weird.

Anyway, as I was saying, youère only wearing one parachute, so itès not like you can deploy your reserve anyway.

Some of the canopy-ride footage is really pretty.
