    Looks like he missed the record for longest freefall. Probably still has it for speed and highest jump.

    During the jump nearly 6 million people were watching on YouTube. When they started showing replays, I saw over 2 million people stop watching.

    I watched the entire thing...wow what a rush! I'm very curious about how the footage turns out from the camera's he had on him. Also it was kinda freaky to hear him breath out load and then for a moment hear nothing at all. Good thing it went well.
