Mystery jumper leaps off Conn. broadcast tower with parachute
An unidentified person scaled a broadcast tower on Rattlesnake Mountain in Farmington, Conn., and jumped off, sailing away in a parachute. The antenna was operating at full power during the jump. Arnold Chase who owns the company that owns and manages the tower, said, "It's insane, what he did," saying that standing atop an operating broadcast tower is "analogous to being inside a microwave."
