Two men piloting a helium balloon across the Pacific have beaten world distance and duration records by flying for more than 137 hours and travelling more than 6-and-a-half thousand miles. American Troy Bradley and Russian Leonid Tiukhtyaev made a sea-landing of the 'Two Eagles' balloon 4 miles off the coast of Baja, Mexico. They took off from Japan on Sunday. Troy Bradley told Dotun Adebayo on 5 live that you had to wait for the weather before taking to the air. This clip is originally from 5 live Up All Night on Sunday 1 February 2014
