Larry Walters, or "Lawnchair Larry", had his 15 minutes of fame back in the 1980s when he "piloted" a standard garden chair to 16,500ft above Long Beach L.A. Using nothing more than some surplus weather balloons, strong rope, a comfy garden chair, and a big pair of balls, "Lawnchair Larry" achieved his childhood dream of solo flight.....and invented a new sport along the way.

Although focused primarily on disasters, this channel is all about the interesting, the strange, the unsolved, the tragic. Our world has a varied history full of terrible tragedies, bizarre tales, unexplained events, and extravagant people. I hope you enjoy some of the fascinating stories we have here.
