I was walking along the South Bank of the River Thames today close to Tower Bridge. Little did I know that earlier in the day a couple of Red Bull athletes had dropped from a helicopter at 3,000 ft, descended in wing suits down to Tower Bridge, and flown through the gap in the middle of the bridge.
The 2-minute video is stunning. Despite making it look easy, the two skydivers had completed over 200 practice jumps in preparation.
Red Bull continually pushes the limits of what is humanly possible, and looking at Tower Bridge today, I would’ve never thought it possible to fly a wing suit through it. Kudos to Red Bull.
