Towering jump into record book
Some extreme news ...
Gary Cunningham, an Australian engineer, left, rang in the new year by jumping off the 421-metre (1,381ft) Menara Kuala Lumpur tower 133 times.
Cunningham, 34, who set out to break the record for the most BASE jumps performed in 24 hours, started at midnight as New Year’s Eve began and finished as fireworks exploded in the sky above the Malaysian capital to mark the new year. The previous BASE jump record is believed to be 57. (AFP)
