Who holds the current world record for flying at the highest altitude in a hot air balloon?

Indian Vijaypat Singhania claimed a new world record for the highest flight in a hot air balloon, after a voyage lasting several hours. The 67-year-old textile ****** soared past 21,000 metres (69,000 feet). He travelled in a pressurised cabin attached to a balloon as high as a 22-storey building.

The previous record of 19,811 metres (64,997 feet) was set by Per Lindstrand in Plano, Texas, in June 1988.

You mean you got zapped for the word TY?

The censorship on this site is much too sensitive if a word like that is deemed unacceptable, it simply describes a successful businessman.

Come on moderators slacken the reigns a bit we arn't children.

It's because it contains a word deemed racist. The filter seems to have a list of words it will not allow even if they form part of other words.
