It isn't the first time such a thing has happened. There is a great story about some guy who thought it would be fun to float over his neighbor's back yard one weekend by attaching balloons to his lawn chair. Then he took off higher than expected. When aircraft started reporting the sight, the traffic controllers asked co-pilots to take over the controls, so unbelievable was it.

They finally got the guy down safely. Media were gathered to question him. When asked, "Why did you do it?" he replied, "Well, ou can't just sit around."
