Yuichiro Miura - straight-lining Mt Everest in 1970

It seems every day offers us must watch content, yet most of it is breaking news or recently filmed. Here's an example of something from yesteryear.

In 1970 Japanese skier/climber Yuichiro Miura straight-lined Mt Everest on skis with a parachute.

Miura skied 6,000 vertical feet before falling on ice and plummeting another 1320 feet, just short of a massive crevasse.

Eight others in his party died on the ascent.
