About
More than 75,000 Chicagoans flocked to North Avenue Beach today to witness 28 homemade, human-powered machines take to the skies at Red Bull Flugtag. Although no flight records were shattered, expectations surely were with an impressive array of vehicles, uniquely talented dancers and an international cast of characters (thank you Canadian team for adding a global perspective). Team Crustacean Avengers took first place with a gravity-defying flight of 120 feet coupled with a skit including one very angry lobster that finally got his revenge on the snotty Swedish chef.
