Oklahoman to attempt world record for inflation
By Associated Press
MUSKOGEE, Okla. (AP) — An Oklahoma man plans to try and set a world record for inflating a meteorological weather balloon.
Brian Jackson will try Wednesday to inflate the balloon to 8 feet in diameter using his mouth in less than 42 minutes.
Jackson is a citizen of the Cherokee Nation and a motivational speaker. In April 2006 he set a world record by recording the fastest time to inflate a standard hot water bottle by mouth until it bursts, doing so in 51.98 seconds.
A film crew from the Canadian television show "TV Made Me Do It" will film Jackson's latest record attempt which will be conducted at Muskogee High School.
