2/17/2004: Record skydive

What we have today is a new world record for greatest number of skydivers involved in a jump. It's 357 divers, from 42 countries, diving in Thailand.

They finished the job on their last opportunity, jumping from four separate C130s at 24,000 feet, and somehow linking up for a total of 6 seconds. The whole thing was monitored by international judges.

Good work I say. Good work.
