Daredevil man dives from iconic Istanbul tower
Turkish extreme sports enthusiast Cengiz Kocak dives from Istanbul's historic Galata Tower on Thursday in a daredevil base jump.
Kocak followed in the footsteps of legendary Ottoman aviator Hezarfen Ahmet Celebi who is believed to have made the first unpowered flight from the tower in the 17th century.
The leap was made as part of an event organized by the European Outdoor Film Tour in an effort to promote extreme sports and tourism in Turkey.
Kocak has reportedly made more than 650 jumps from buildings, bridges and cliffs.
