Gordon Bennett Cup (ballooning)

4423: 262:. Conqueror was the largest balloon entered in the race, standing 80 feet (24 m) high and with a gas capacity of 80,000 cubic feet (2,300 m). Before the race Forbes had attempted to lengthen the balloon's appendix to give the team a strategic advantage. Instead the balloon hit a fence just after takeoff, lost two ballast bags, ascended rapidly and ripped open three minutes into the race. The pair slashed off ballast as they fell 3,000 feet (910 m). Their descent was slowed only as the balloon's fabric caught in the netting and formed a rough parachute. They took hold of the ring above them and lifted their feet as the basket smashed through the tiled roof of a house in the Berlin suburb of Friedenau. Both the men and their instruments survived intact. 4439: 691: 630: 444: 4411: 4515: 266: 345:. On September 30, the USA retrieval crew suggested that the balloon may have ditched in the sea or have been destroyed by lightning. Debris was found on October 1 by search crews but race control determined that it was not from the missing balloon. Despite this, organizers later stated that the final calculated rate of descent of the balloon had been about 50 miles per hour (80 km/h), and that the team's survival was "unlikely". The search for the missing pair was called off on October 4. The balloon's cabin containing the bodies was recovered by an Italian fishing boat on December 6. 1582: 1522: 1462: 1402: 1343: 1283: 873: 251: 4500: 4488: 747: 504: 4172: 4111: 3928: 3867: 3561: 2672: 2096: 997: 574: 4458: 3346: 3288: 2945: 1877: 1821: 1225: 1167: 1111: 1055: 931: 38: 4473: 3449: 3232: 2558: 4396: 4355: 2616: 2442: 2384: 2328: 2270: 2212: 2154: 4233: 3806: 3001: 2788: 2730: 2500: 5287: 4050: 2038: 1935: 1765: 1707: 1641: 4294: 3989: 3745: 3684: 3623: 3505: 3171: 3115: 3059: 2844: 815: 285:, but many newspapers reported that the men were likely dead.
