Brazilian Priest with the helium balloons.

[Blades_fan]

Does anyone know what happened to the Brazilian Priest who attached himself to a 1000 helium balloons for charity.
He was hoping to float inland but it was thought he was blown out to sea.
Theres been nothing about him since in the media.

They found the balloons, but not the priest

this is beyond belief. What an idiot. Not only is he polluting the planet with his balloons, but he is putting his all to precious life in danger.

Maybe this question should be in the religion section, but

Most probably abducted by Taliban or Al Qaeeda.

The man was an experienced parachutist, had a parachute, wore protective clothing and had successfully performed a similar feat before. So no more stupid or idiotic than many a record-breaker.

Ballloons are, as far as I know, completely bio-degradable and the helium they were filled with had been extracted from the atmosphere, to which it was returned when the balloons burst - so I'm not sure where the pollution comes in.

I'm just sorry the poor guy appears to have died.

What a stupid ****. Sorry, I meant 'stunt'.
