‘Bird Man’ Hoaxster Comes Clean on Dutch Television
- kooshball 15y agoThe most interesting article that I saw that came out of this is Jamie Hyneman from Mythbusters saying the physics is actually feasible. > The video of Jarno Smeets' flight is cool, and I don't see evidence that it was faked. It seems reasonable to accomplish, and is something I have wanted to try for a long time. http://www.tested.com/news/articles/43440-thoughts-on-the-mechanics-of-assisted-human-flight/ http://www.tested.com/news/articles/43440-thoughts-on-the-me...
- yassim 15y agoI did really want it to be real, but I now wondering how long till it is. There were enough very clue-y people say "yeah, the physics might actually work". I'm sure it has inspired a lot of people, who will probably now work even harder if they know they can be the first for real.
