Skydivers plunge past Mount Everest
October 5, 2008 KATHMANDU (AFP) - Three skydivers in Nepal entered the record books on Sunday, plunging from above the height of Mount Everest to land at the world’s highest drop zone.
The daredevil adventurers " from Britain, New Zealand and Canada " said they had magnificent views as they rocketed past the world’s highest peak.
“It was amazing, just spectacular,” Holly Budge told AFP by telephone after making a safe landing at 3,900 metres (12,870 feet). “We had one minute of freefall and while we were above the clouds you could see Everest and the other high mountains popping out of the top.”
