Austrian Felix Baumgartner became Thursday the first person to skydive across the English Channel. Baumgartner leapt from a plane above Dover and landed 22 miles (35 kilometres) away in Cap Blanc-Nez near Calais just 14 minutes later. The 34-year-old man who is former mechanic wore only an aerodynamic jumpsuit with a 1.8 m carbon fin strapped to his back, oxygen to breathe, and a parachute to land. "It was total freedom. If you step out of the aeroplane at this altitude, it's perfect because you see the sun rise right over there, it's the beginning of the day," Baumgartner said Thursday.
