“It wasn’t a plane. It wasn’t a bird. It wasn’t even Wonder Woman. It was  a stunt. On Monday, stuntwoman Kitty O’Neil plunged from atop  the Valley Hilton in Sherman Oaks into an inflated air bag at the pool  deck, as the scene was being filmed for an upcoming two-hour special  episode of the Wonder Woman series.
A Warner Brothers spokeswoman said  Miss O’Neil, who is deaf, established a new high fall record and broke  her own previous mark of 120 feet. After the leap, she rode to the  airport for a return flight to Bonneville, Utah, where she’s attempting  to set a new world land speed record* in her jet powered car.” 
*1/4 of a mile in 3.22 seconds at 396 mph
