The French parachutist Michel Fournier is on the point of trying a jump of 40.000 meters above the large Canadian plains, with the ambition to become the first man to cross the wall of the sound in free fall, indicated Thursday its attached of press.

Somewhere, the Air Force must have an "attached of press" who can point out that Capt. (later Col.) Joe Kittenger crossed the "wall of sound" in 1960. Do we need to have the fish translate Kittenger's book into français so this guy can read it? (It'd be a safer pastime than what he's trying.)

You beat me to it. At first I thought it's just late - must be me. After reading that incoherent, major run-on sentence several times I gave up and tried to read the rest of the article. My headache got worse.
