Showing Off To Your Mates In Your Car - And A Lamp Post

Showing Off To Your Mates In Your Car - And A Lamp Post

How to pull a van uphill by yourself with ordinary rope.

blackoreb says...

The mechanical advantage would have been much higher if he had tied the rope to the lamp post, pulled the rope taut and stepped on it. Then he could re-tension the rope and repeat. Having two ropes and alternating, would keep the van from rolling backward, if that was a concern.

See? All those years of soccer practice DO pay off!

9/11 Pentagon Crash. Dear tin-foil hat crowd, please shut up

I like that they look at the lamp posts popping out, and how they would have had to travel. I don't like that they fail to explore the complex physics of what the steel polls would do to the plane wings at that high rate of speed.

The generator unit being hit and spool unit not looks pretty solid.

I also like that they provide a convincing analysis of the one frame with the plane and smoking engine, but then they don't look a the other camera angle, or note what to expect from future camera angles that may be later released (which, matched up upon their release, would lend high credibility to this model).

Also, like in my very first post to the sift (narcissistic cross-link; http://www.videosift.com/story.php?id=2812 ), this render shows how incredible the murderous pilot's luck/skill was to cause such a direct shot, through lamp posts and everything, striking the building perfectly at groundlevel and at incredible velocity.

(p.s. they could have layered in the actual satellite view from that day, as in my Purdue post, although that weird line in the lawn sure is distracting...)
