One of Google’s most senior executives has broken Felix Baumgartner's record for the highest parachute jump in history - making him the second person to break the sound barrier. Alan Eustace, whose title at the company is senior vice president of knowledge, successfully jumped from the edge of space at 135,908 feet on Friday evening. The computer scientist started his journey in a high-altitude, helium-filled balloon, leaving from an abandoned airport in New Mexico. He started his dive at 135,908 feet - remaining in freefall for about 4.5 minutes, hitting a TOP speed of 822 mph.
