He fully got out of the stratosphere for four minutes and 19 seconds before using his parachute.

The breathtaking stunt was sponsored and documented by Red Bull, making a documentary made of film material from the helmet camera by Baumgartner.

Around 8 million people looked at the jump, which was streamed live on YouTube and broadcast on several other online and broadcast platforms.

Social -Media users posted words of homage to the fallen Daredevil.

“We will all miss you, Felix,” commented another.
