Tough crowd tonight Aoife!!

amazing photo. his outer pain is projecting the economic and social turmoil felt by France and the rest of Europe. to a lesser extent, his foot is echoing the dreadfulness of the Syrian situation, while the fact that his arse is firmly planted on the deck and going nowhere is a poignant reminder of our own situation and Michael noonan. Beautiful really. Queue American Beauty music.

Really dont get this? Guy sitting on ground with a parachute beside him. Wrong pic uploaded?

Think we need a closer pic

I see no reaction. Pointless story

Come on Aoife.
Could and must do better.

I was there. He parachuted from a plane onto the Champs Élysée, landed badly and broke his leg. He got up and moved outta the way, and didn’t moan once while they fixed him up. Bit of a hero.

What is the point of this photo and story?… I am sure there are more inspiring photos with better stories than this.

I was hoping for a video :(…. Hope the guy didn’t snap his leg, but from that pic of him sitting down its hard to tell…

Newsflash…… Miriam bursting out of blue dress on RTE One. Definitely making me React.

Come on guys, bit of goodwill here. She just asked us to hope he wasnt injured in the process. The process is one of the sorest places to get injured.

Crap pic

I enjoyed it. Much better than a story about how crappy Dublin is because we know that already.

People on here are serious nerds. Get a life. If you don’t like a story don’t read it a d if you do read it – didn’t it give you entertainment for 5 seconds of your boring lives!

Might not be groundbreaking news, but thats the great thing about thejournal.ie – if it happens, then it’s on here.

i like it.French people hurting themselves

Is his foot not pointing in the wrong direction?

Poor story! Poor picture! Poor journal!!!
