LEGOmann til nye høyder - ikke gjør dette der du bor

Pilot warns against copycat weather balloon experiments as they 'could bring down an airplane'

Canadian teenagers sent Lego man 80,000 feet up in the air
Aviation experts have warned space enthusiasts not to send helium weather balloons up into the sky - as one could be enough to bring down a plane.
Last week two Canadian teenagers Mathew Ho and Asad Muhammad sent a Lego man into space using a home-stitched parachute and spare parts found on Craigslist.
The 17-year-olds, from Toronto, made headlines after the two-inch astronaut clutching a Canadian flag attached to a helium weather balloon went 80,000 feet into the air - three times the height of a commercial jet's cruising altitude.
