Default Mt Everest Gliding with Sebastian Kawa

"Gliding going mainstream"... Well, another success but with a bit of mixed feelings :-) Polish most influential daily newspaper "Gazeta Wyborcza" had run yesterday a lengthy interview about the project with Sebastian (feature articles section). Fair amount of information about the details of the planned project flights for the uninitiated, nice introduction to the gliding in general. The interview is ranking third from the top in popularity on the Internet version of the newspaper. But here it becomes "interesting". First ranked is a feature about sexual abuse of minors by catholic clergy (graphic details included). Second ranked is a story about police efforts to shut down roadside prostitutes business (pictures!). Sebastian comes third, but the newspaper gave the story a title "Polish-German battle for Himalaya". Hmmm... Sebastian did mention Mountain Wave Project, but not exactly in this way... Well, there is a manual on writing attention grabbing headlines ("Win free sex" is the ultimate one supposedly) but becoming a case study somehow leaves a funny feeling...
