Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Tiny cameras such as the GoPro have allowed us mere mortals to watch people perform death-defying stunts, dive underwater and even jump from space.
The latest such video, taken at the KL Tower International Jump event in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, in September, sees one base jumper leap from the 1,381ft KL Tower onto another building...
But not only does John van Horne, one of more than 100 jumpers to take part in the event, dive off the building - he lands straight into a pool party that's taking place on the roof of another 34-storey building.
Way to make an entrance to that party.
"The kind of fun part for us is the 'make it or you're in trouble' kind of way because there's nowhere else to land," Van Horne told ABC News.
"Figured we'd make a big entrance to the party," he added.
