P512 CEEFAX 1 512 Thu 02 Dec 19:28/23572 SKYDIVERS IN RECORD-BREAKING JUMP A new world record was set when 572 skydivers bailed out over the city of Bangkok in Thailand. The skydivers, from 39 countries, broke the old record of 515 skydivers in a "mass freefall", set in 1989. The jump was organised to mark the 72nd birthday of Thailand's revered King Bhumibol Adulyadej, the world's longest-reigning monarch. Dozens of ambulances were on standby, but no injuries were reported. Flashback 515CBBC 500Contacts 516Next news PressPack Comp. Main menu
