CANBERRA, AUSTRALIA - A champion German paraglider said Friday that she did
not believe she would survive when she was lifted higher than Mount Everest
by a thunderstorm in eastern Australia.

Paragliding 2005 World Cup winner Ewa Wisnierska, 35, was lifted 32,612
feet above sea level by a storm that apparently killed a Chinese paraglider
in eastern Australia Wednesday.
