It’s the first time in eight years that they have messed up. “When I first opened the parachute... I said, ‘Unh-uh,’” said Matthew Fitch, Aerial Adventures’ president, who landed as the Blue Devils and James Madison were doing warm-ups on the field. “At that point, I knew... and there was no turning back.” Fitch didn’t know he was jumping into the wrong stadium because he was re checking safely gear. The company was using anew pilot, too. He’s apologized to officials at UNC and hopes for another chance. “I’d like to see the Ram down there on the field, guiding us in with lights,” he said. NOTED. A cross-dressing man in Port St. Lucie, Fla., stole a 74-year-old woman’s purse and left an odd clue behind —a condom filled with water that he was using as a fake breast. The police are testing the condom for DNA evidence.
