our good friend and brother died in south korea in a paragliding accident.

albert de angelo hell of a video guy and a great friend and has family from dz in florida, new york, italy and around the world.

aparently albert loaded extra weight to film a new years day sunrise paraglide off a mountian in south korea expereinced some sort of canopy issue and it colapsed and albert impacted.

does anyone have any details about our skydiver friend who is also a para glider???

anuary 02, 2007 ã…¡ An American was killed in Gangneung and 21 others
slightly injured in Seoul as revelers all across Korea greeted the New
Year and the first sunrise.
In Gangneung, Gangwon province, a 36-year-old English teacher, Dangelo
Albert Carl, from the United States died after his motorized paraglider
crashed into the water at Gyeongpo beach at 7:50 a.m. yesterday, police
said.
The teacher at a middle school in Yecheon, North Gyeongsang province,
was rescued by a Donghae Coast Guard ship about 8 a.m. after getting
reports from witnesses who were watching the sunrise, the Coast Guard
said.
Mr. Carl was taken to a hospital where he died at 9:25 a.m.
Police said Mr. Carl was flying alone to photograph the sunrise, along
with three Korean members of a paragliding club in other aircraft who
safely landed on the ground. Police believe Mr. Carl crashed due to an
operational mistake.

In Alberts Dec 26 posting to his Squadra Lasagna Update he finishes his email with this...

Ciao for now,
love you all,
Happy New Year no matter what happens,
Squadra Lasagna

Knowing him the way I feel I do, he forsaw this. Albert is a spiritual being and is aware of his life mission and his timing. I'm really sad too but I can hear his laughter. I always will.
For all that know him, be aware that there is yet another angel up there with eyes upon you.

albert added weight to his configuration also i understand he had not done this before.

i also understand the weight was a last miunte addition to some how be relative to two or 3 other paragliders.

it also appears that ablert may have drowned, i hope and pray he was knowcked unconsious.

i cant imagine poor albert drowning how terrible for such a joly happy funny guy.

everyone loves albert becuase he is albert. ( my quote to why does everyone love albert )

ill miss you buddy, i just wished you came back to florida

You will be missed by those who knew and loved you, and carried in their hearts forever!

A Hopi Prayer by Mary E. Frye (slightly changed)

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there.I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet white doves in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there,I did not die.
