A daredevil French inventor fails in his attempt to fly across the English Channel standing on a jet-powered "flyboard", crashing into the sea before vowing to try again. Franky Zapata blasted off from Sangatte, on the northern French coast, Thursday. Zapata was knocked into the water as he landed on a boat-mounted refueling platform.
