EDITORS COMMENTS
On the historic date of September 21, 1802, the skies above Central London were filled with an unprecedented sight as French inventor Jacques Garnerin made the first ever successful parachute jump from a hot air balloon. This daring feat marked a significant milestone in human aviation history. In the photograph, Garnerin, dressed in a long coat and hat, can be seen making his descent towards the Thames River, with St. Pancras Old Church visible in the background. The parachute, a large silk canopy attached to a harness, billows behind him as he gracefully glides towards the ground. The balloon, which had taken off from Woolwich Common, can be seen ascending into the clouds in the distance. The parachute, a relatively new invention at the time, had only been tested once before, in France, with mixed results. Garnerin's jump over London, however, was a resounding success. He landed safely near St. Pancras, becoming an instant celebrity and paving the way for further advancements in aviation technology. This photograph, taken from Mary Evans Prints Online, captures the essence of human curiosity and the spirit of innovation that drove Garnerin to make this daring leap. It serves as a reminder of the incredible progress that has been made in transportation and flight technology over the centuries, and the continued drive to push the boundaries of what is possible.
