Felix Baumgartner, the Austrian daredevil who made history by leaping from the edge of space, lost his life after crashing his glider into a hotel pool in Italy. He was 56.
Just moments before his passing, Baumgartner posted a cryptic Instagram Story while flying over fields along Italy’s Adriatic coast. The text overlay read simply: “Too much wind.”
Unbeknownst to him and his followers, it would be his last post.
