Whats even more :psyduck: to me is right at 00:37-39, you see the camera apparently taken out by one of the tires. It's like the tire decided "I'm free & i'm taking someone/something WITH ME!"

Whip cracks are mini sonic booms caused by the tip of the whip exceeding the speed of sound, so that's a possibility on the loud boom/crack! noise. Or maybe the cable striking the fuselage as it gets entangled in the rotor.

I have to wonder at the amount of force that was needed to break loose and embed in the ship a chunk of rock the size of that boat in the foreground :psyduck: .

You want to talk about management screwing up a power plant ? The following conversation between Crystal River nuclear power plant employees happened sometime in 2009, true story:

:haw: Hey Clem, go get some concrete mix, coupla ladders, trowels, and get a crew set up !
:v: What we doin' Bubba ?
:haw: The eggheads in management found some cracks in somethin' called a "containment dome", and we're gonna fix it ourselves insteada hirin' some fancypants en-gi-neer-in company !
:v: How much did them engyneers want anyway ? !
:haw: 'Bout $15 million bucks I hear !

Net result ? This week an entire nuclear power plant was written off as un-fixable. Total dollar cost (spent so far + building a new gas fired plant to replace this one) is up around $3 billion. Number of jobs killed ? around 600.

Ok yes its on fire, but I wanna know what's up with that whole metal framework thing going on under the rear bumper that allows the trailer hitch to get down to something like a normal level. Anyone who ever rear ended that thing would get their radiator impaled something good.

How in the name of gravy is one truck capable of hauling that much weight at one time ? I can sort of understand it once something like that is moving but anything related to actually starting to move or stop (hella inertia) I don't get. 96 speed transmission and tires made out of bullshittium/unobtanium ?
