Flat earthers are a small community that was gaining a large number of followers through the Internet. Mike Hughes was a great exponent of that current, who died three years ago in a terrible accident.
The flat earther intended to launch himself to 1,524 meters high to prove his theory. He intended to take images from up there because he defended that there is no curvature on the horizon, something that according to his reasoning should happen if the Earth is spherical. He had a hard landing, but that time he survived the jolt.
