Mad Mike Hughes made a big hole in the desert today. RIP to him and all the insane eccentrics who follow their dreams into the nether regions...

While my instinct is to have zero sympathy for someone like this, I will give him some credit.

Most conspiracy theory nuts fallback on the idea of “prove me wrong“.

This guy actually made the exceptionally rare attempt to “prove he was right“.

Summary:

Hughes, a self-styled daredevil, flat-Earth theorist and limousine-jumping stuntman, died Saturday when his crudely built contraption propelled him on a column of steam, spiraled through the air and cratered into the sagebrush outside Barstow, Calif. He was 64.

Open using incognito. Only one the NYT has learned how to defeat that and they apparently aren't sharing how with others.

I love how the camera briefly followed the parachute. Even the camera man saw that he was donezies.

Blue skies, black death.

Wow. Just wow. Even Lawnchair Larry possessed more skill and mastery of flight, not to mention basic grasp of math and physics concepts, than this poor dude.
