A fearless Chinese Balloon Man fell to earth and it wasn't from heaven in fact in managed to miss land completely. In towering show of stupidity the gentleman in question is a cook which obviously qualifies him to pilot a hot air balloon to the Senkaku islands from mainland China and land it in the East China sea.
A Chinese man flying a hot air balloon to a group of disputed islands had to be rescued after his balloon crashed, Japan's Coast Guard has said.
The man, who said he was a cook, was heading to an East China Sea island chain controlled by Japan, known as Senkaku in Japan and Diaoyu in China.
The man had been handed to a Chinese patrol ship, the coast guard said.
The islands are close to potential oil and gas reserves, and are a source of tension between the two countries.
The Japanese Coast Guard said they received a request to search for a missing person on Wednesday afternoon.
They found the man and the hot air balloon around 20km (12 miles) from the islands. The man was not hurt, reports said.
