Frankie Zapata, a French aviation enthusiast, attempted to cross the English Channel on a homemade hoverboard. Despite meticulous preparations and a successful takeoff from Sangate, he faced challenges mid-flight due to rough seas during a refueling stop, leading to a fall into the sea. Rescued by French divers, Zapata was unharmed and planned another attempt. He aimed to cover the 300 km to Dover in 20 minutes.
