Richard Branson pictured thumbs up and celebrating with relief after being rescued
Richard Branson pictured thumbs up and celebrating with relief after being rescued from his ill fated Atlantic Crossing Balloon attempt.
Branson cheated death by leaping for his life after his transAtlantic balloon flight ended in disaster. Shortly after crashing in the Irish Sea in Atlantic Virgin Flyer, the 37 year old millionaire admitted " I m lucky to be alive". Branson and his co pilot Per Linstrand were plucked to safety by Navy helicopters after abandoning the balloon capsule, and flown to hospital in Kilmarnock, Scotland.
Daredevil tycoon Richard Branson had written a love letter to Joan and their two children as he faced death in his hot air balloon. " In it, I said I loved her and out two children" said Branson. Richard, 36, whose record-breaking bid to cross the Atlantic ended in ear disaster was full of life again and back in the water with his daughter Holly, and son Sam, in at the hotel pool. " I ve told Joan that I ve given up this kind of challenge for good, said Branson, as The Guinness Book of Records said that his record crossing would go in the next edition of the book.
