souleh 0 #1 December 16, 2003 Police hunt mystery skydiver "Police are hunting for a mystery skydiver who landed in the centre of Liverpool. Investigating officers at Merseyside police believe the man may have taken part in an illegal 'base jump', a leap from a high city centre building. "A security guard reported spotting the skydiver land on Leeds Street at 12.40am.. According to a police spokeswoman, the jumper then "packed up his parachute and wandered off." "Despite a search by officers at the scene he has not yet been traced. The spokeswoman added: "What this man has done is dangerous and highly irresponsible. We definitely want to have words with him." Posted 14:50 Tuesday 16th December 2003 .. Just got that from Orange news on my WAP phone. Made me chuckle.. so come on - who knows him? Quite a bit of nerve to do that imo, certainly worth a pint if I ever meet him 'buttplugs? where?' - geno Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
