xplanes: aeronauts: end of part 1 Jean-François Pilâtre de Rozier, one of the two people to first ascend in an untethered manned balloon flight, became the first person to die in an aviation accident. On July 15th 1785, in an attempt to emulate the flight made by Pierre Blanchard and Dr Jeffries, de Rozier and his young assistant Pierre Romain set off from Boulogne in an attempt to cross the channel. Their mushroom-shaped “Aero-Montgolfière” balloon - a frankly dangerous hydrogen/hot-air hybrid - did not inspire confidence in others, but de Rozier remained unphazed. Shortly after the balloon ascended, it exploded - probably from a spark from the fire pan or static electricity. de Rozier was found dead at the scene, Romain apparently managed to whisper “Oh, Jesus” before passing away. The conquest of the air had claimed its first victims. Susan Dyer, de Rozier’s fiancée, was amongst the horrified onlookers - and also passed away shortly after fainting at the scene. More on the aeronauts in a month or so: parachutes, exploration, horses, science, war, mystery - those sorts of things..
