What: Four-cylinder jet pack with an eight-foot carbon fibre wing en route from Africa to Europe
Where: between Tangier to Atlantera
When: Nov 25 2009
Who: SWISS adventurer Yves Rossy
Why: Yves Rossy who jumped from a plane at 6500 feet, flying on his wing at 180 mph from Tangier to Atlantera ditched in the ocean while en route. He was followed by a rescue team and promptly rescued from the ocean. He did not complete the 23 mile flight, deploying his parachute about 15 minutes into his attempt after his wing malfunctioned.
Last year Rossy crossed the English Channel on his wing.
