Did they ever find that guy who floated away on a chair tied to helium balloons?

Question

It was done for a charity event, but the wind took him away out to sea and they lost him. It was all over the news when it happened, but I never heard if they found him again.

Answer 1

I heard about one in LA who tied the balloons to a lawn chair and took off with beer and a bb gun. He got up high enough for jets headed to LA international to call in his position. One pilot reported man with a gun at 10,000' in a lawn chair drinking a bud. The idea of the bb gun was to shoot out the balloons so he could descend.

Answer 2

Are you referring to the Brazilian priest? If so, I can tell you for sure that he was never found and is presumably dead. Search for him has been discontinued. Some balloons have been found at sea, though.

Answer 3

No they didn't get him.Shame.
