Anyway he crashed into some poor laundry womans barge and broke a leg and never tried to fly again.
I love making my silly little history of flight tiktoks
Audio warning, maybe turn it down before playing 🖤
[Video ID] A reposted tiktokvideo, a series of images set to the sound "Should we do it? Should we go do the correct thing? Ahaha! NEVER! Let's make poor decisions!! Woouah!"
The slideshow features in order a hot air balloon from the 18th century, an early plan for a dirigible balloon, and an early type of heavier than air flying machine, until we get to the end of 'good decisions'. The screen cuts to black, and the text reads:
