Sean McCormac jumped from a helicopter 5,000 feet above the San Francisco Bay, coasted down the Bay Bridge cables and landed on a barge. The stunt was organized by Red Bull and required around 18 months of planning, preparation, and training. Caltrans issued a permit scheduling the jump between 6 a.m. and 9:30 a.m., and CHP stopped traffic twice for 8 to 10 minutes during attempts. Commuters expressed frustration about delays and missed commitments. Mayor Daniel Lurie said he will investigate approvals and noted that global-city events may cause some inconvenience.
"That was probably the most intense, wildest project I have ever done,"
"around 18 months of planning, preparation, and training."
"I will look into it, but here is what I would say: If we are going to be a global city that is on top again, we are going to have to make sure we know what's coming, but we have to expect that there will be some inconvenience,"
"the jump was scheduled to happen Saturday, August 23 between 6 a.m. to 9:30 a.m."
