Living in Los Angeles from 1979 to 1995, I grew accustomed to my TV viewing being interrupted by breaking news of car chases. A slightly different TV breakaway event occurred on July 2, 1982, when San Pedro resident Larry Walters, out of sheer boredom, purchased 42 8-foot weather balloons and several tanks of helium.
Larry filled and tied the balloons to his lawn chair and took flight, reaching altitudes of 15,000 feet. “Lawn Chair Larry” drifted into the controlled airspace of LAX airport, prompting pilots to report the safety hazard to the control tower.
