In preparation for a June 2013 race there, Red Bull's Formula One racing team hit the pavement Wednesday in West New York, New Jersey, the identity-crisis stricken town where residents recently spotted an image of the Virgin Mary on a tree. Later, driver David Coulthard raced through the Lincoln Tunnel as fast as 190 miles per hour. At about fourteen and seventeen seconds, you can actually see when he reaches Ludicrous Speed.

That could have been a mess.

I believe he completed a 70,000 foot and 96,000 foot jump.

I don't think the 120,000 foot jump has been done yet.

Did you ever watch the video of the Joe Kittinger jump from 1960? Intense.
