BBC News - Baumgartner skydive bid aborted due to gusty winds

Austrian adventurer Felix Baumgartner has been frustrated in his attempt to make the highest ever skydive.

Unfavourable winds at Roswell, New Mexico, have prevented the launch of the helium balloon that was to take him to more than 120,000ft (36.5km).

Meteorologists say Thursday now looks to be next best day for a record bid.



Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
