With the many different views during and after the attacks on the World Trade Center, I truly thought I had seen every angle, view, video, etc. However, recently I was made aware of a much different view of the attacks on the World Trade Center: From The International Space Station:
Amazing that it looks so very small from up there and yet is one of the worst disasters in world history.

I’ve seen Santa Claus in many places over the years. I’ve seen him on top of floats during parades, used to visit him on the coal train that used to go through the town I used to live in years ago, Holiday World In Santa Claus, Indiana has their own resident Santa.

Notorious B.I.G. was a well known rapper until his death on March 9, 1997 via a drive by shooting. For all of the hits that he was known for, chances are he probably never thought that his music could help in this very unique way as shown in this video.
The parents of this adorable baby that they named Rachel would simply not calm down when really upset. However, they would start playing the music of Notorious B.I.G. and almost instantly Rachel would stop crying!!

December 3, 2011 By Leave a Comment
There have been many close calls over the years when it comes to storm chasers being near large tornadoes. For instance, these chasers were too close to one of the worst tornadoes in United States history was bearing down on them near Moore, OK on May 3, 1999.

Zen Magnets

We have all played with magnets as a kid. I know I used to have quite the collection of them as a kid. However, the one type of magnet that I never had as a kid are the variety known as rare earth magnets. Now, rare earth magnets are used in a variety of things. For one, they are even used to propel things such as launched roller coasters. The magnets absorb the energy created by the stators on the coaster track to help propel these vehicles at times in excess of 100 m.p.h. One of the first ones to do this was the Superman Escape From Krypton Roller Coaster At Six Flags Magic Mountain near L.A.:
These type of magnets are used in what are known as Zen Magnets. With Zen Magnets, they are so strong that you can put them together with other Zen Magnets and do all kinds of interesting creations with them. This video below shows just how much this one person alone was able to do with them:
Very Very Cool!
Tornado Seen Hitting A Windfarm
November 27, 2011 By 2 Comments
With all the things that storm chasers, researchers, and the public have recorded tornadoes hitting have been more than one person can truly fathom.
However in storm chasing circles, the one thing that has been talked about recording on video is of a tornado near a Wind Farm. With the large amount of wind farms in the plains, the possibility of being seen is fairly high but never really had been recorded on video. On November 7, 2011, when a supercell produced several tornadoes (One rated EF4 in Intensity near Tipton, OK) one landed near a Wind Farm in this video. In fact, one of the twisters, went right over several of the windmills and even totally wrapped it up in its circulation. Amazingly, the windmills came out undamaged!
Top 10 Biggest and Best Jumps Ever Caught on Video
November 25, 2011 By 1 Comment
Even has a kid, I can remember making incredible jumps before on my bicycle and such. And I also knew many a people that would do sick jumps on skateboards, cars, etc etc. However, when I saw the jumps being done in this video clip, I was truly floored.
What especially caught my attention was the jump made at the end of the clip. This jump was literally done from a height even above the Troposphere with just a standard parachute to slow the man down! Even more amazing was that he stated like it didn’t even feel like he was falling until he got into the Troposphere and felt the air roaring by him:
