Mike Hughes, the self-made engineer who billed himself as the “world’s greatest daredevil,” was killed Saturday outside Barstow during a launch of a homemade rocket gone wrong, his publicist confirmed

.

“Eveyone was stunned. They didn’t know what to do,” said Chapman, who had been working on a profile of Hughes. “He landed about a half a mile away from the launch pad.”An official with the San Bernardino County coroner’s office said she expected there would be a “lengthy” investigation into the incident. “We have no facts at this point,” she said.

Shuster, who did not attend Saturday’s launch, said the flat Earth argument helped drum up publicity and sponsors for Hughes, who made his rockets at his home in Apple Valley. Eric Sherwin, spokesman for the San Bernardino County Fire Department, said his agency had not been alerted in advance that Saturday’s rocket launch was going to take place, or informed of the fatality after it had occurred.

Comment les autorités publiques ont pu le laisser décoller? Et aucun médias ne pensent à répondre à cette principale question...

TL;DR/Save your free article. Idiot who climbed aboard homemade rocket engine dead. Fortunately, no innocent people were harmed.

Ok good?

This is NotNews Please GetBetter

Classic burn out and not fade away.

Some dumbass is gonna say NASA did it

Idiot.

The Earth is hard, not flat.

He would have lived if he accounted for the curve and rotation of his landing zone.

Sad, but, uh, kinda predictable no?

It was only a matter of time, sadly.

Darwin Award goes to ...

And start the conspiracy theory the gov murdered him to stop him from 'exposing' the truth about flat earth
