Truck Drivers Make The World A Better Place.

On July 2, 1982, a truck driver from California flew 16,000 feet into the sky in a lawn chair.

Larry Walters, 33, from San Pedro, had dreamed of flying his whole life. He bought 42 eight-foot helium weather balloons, tied them to a regular Sears lawn chair, strapped on a parachute, packed a BB gun (to pop balloons to descend), a CB radio, sandwiches, a six-pack of beer and a camera. When the cord that tied his lawn chair to his Jeep broke prematurely, before the end of a planned delay for notifying the authorities, Walters's lawn chair rose rapidly to a height of about 16,000 feet and was spotted from two commercial airliners.

For 45 minutes, he floated over Los Angeles, freezing cold, too scared to shoot balloons because he might fall. Finally, he started popping balloons one by one and slowly descended.
He landed tangled in power lines in Long Beach, California, causing a blackout.
When police arrested him, they asked why he did it. He said, "A man can't just sit around."

The FAA fined him $4,000. He became a national folk hero — Lawnchair Larry — and inspired the movie Up.
