Super Dangerous Travel: What's Aloft This Week?
The Brazilian navy has officially given up the search for last week's airborne Brazilian priest, and Father Adelir de Carli is on the verge of being declared dead. But another floating object was a little more lucky. An inflated pig which drifted off from this year's Coachella music festival has come in for a landing, albeit in pieces.
The pig, seen here in action at Coachella, belonged to Pink Floyd and was aloft during Roger Waters' Sunday-night set when its two-story heft broke away from the cables.
It turned up in La Quinta, California, in two neighbors' driveways. While the pig is probably not replaceable, the lucky homeowners to find its remains will split a $10,000 reward and get Coachella tickets for life. (Alas, free bacon for life wasn't included.)
