FOUND: Millionaire killed in 244mph porsche speed record crash trying to deploy parachute | Mind Blowing Facts

A millionaire businessman who crashed at 244mph while attempting to set a speed record in a Porsche 911 Turbo had taken one hand off the wheel to deploy a parachute, an inquest heard.

Zef Eisenberg, 47, was trying to prove he had created the world's fastest Porsche and was attempting a record "flying mile" when he was killed at Elvington Airfield, near York, in October 2020.

During the run, the car went airborne - both barrel rolling and spinning end over end - and travelled 500 metres before it came to a stop, and Mr Eisenberg suffered multiple injuries.
