The good folk over at Epic TV recently recorded 43-year-old Arnaud Longobardi flying into the open doors of a moving cable car high above the Alps.
Now you may ask 'why'? Our answer is simply, why the f*ck not?
For this stunt to work, Longobardi had to perfectly time his takeoff after the cable car left its dock in order to enter its door at the precise point on its journey when it was briefly traveling horizontally rather than at an angle up or down.
In addition, an unexpected gust of wind from any direction could blow either the pilot or the moving cable car off their trajectory, causing them to, at best, abort the landing and at worst, cause Longobardi to crash into its side and go spinning towards the ground.
It's total and utter Bond, but this is for real.
Take a look…
