Dr. Vagina? - Tv show guest name goof
Thanks, spoil-free tags worked like a charm.
I wonder if there is any way to have special "spoiler" tags that only reveal themselves on rollover. That way the aimless video surfer would still be surprised upon watching a video for the first time, but others could find the same video when looking for it.
Helicopter crashes from ground resonance
As a [working] helicopter CFI-I I'm gonna say this is Dynamic Rollover. If you watch you can see it looks like she is landing on a raised platform (i.e. a cart). You can see it looks like the front porition of the left skid falls off the cart (you can see it fall, and she just sits there, as the collective is full down and lift is not greater than weight at that point) with a twisting motion. She then decides to try to lift back up and reposition.
It looks [to me] as if during the twisting motion, she gets the left skid stuck on something and now has the holy trinity of Dynamic Rollover (Pivot point, rolling moment, lift grater than weight).
The rate of roll is also consistent with Dynamic Rollover. If it was ground resonance, getting the air craft back into the air is the corrective action and the problem should have been solved, but she tried to lift up, and the helicopter rolled, pointing me to think it's dynamic rollover.
Also of note is the lack of vibration in the main rotor, and main rotor mast. Which should be seen in a ground resonance situation. (i.e. here and here).
Helicopter crashes from ground resonance
Looks like ground resonance that lead to dynamic rollover.
Helicopter crashes from ground resonance
I see the hard bump, the oscillations, and then an attempt to force the chopper to ground, so all the conditions are right for ground resonance, but is there a chance this is dynamic rollover?
Sharp curve ahead. No really, SHARP CURVE AHEAD!!!
I don't like this sort of thing being posted and having people laugh at it.

Second victim pulled from Colfax big rig wreckage
By Jenna Nielsen, Journal Staff Writer
The body of a co-driver was extricated this morning by Cal Fire crews at the scene of Monday's big rig rollover crash near Colfax.
The body of a second man was found underneath debris Tuesday morning at the accident site of a big rig rollover near Colfax Monday, officials reported.
The man, whose name is not being released pending notification of his family, was reportedly a passenger in the big rig, which rolled into a guard rail spilling its load of recylced plastic down the embankment near the Magra Road exit on westbound Interstate 80, California Highway Patrol offi-cials reported.
The driver, who was trapped inside of the truck’s cab and was also killed in the accident, was re-portedly going 70 mph and passing another truck in the fast lane when he lost control and slid down an embankment, said CHP Officer Rich Ruiz.
“This morning, as the investigator was going over log books, (it was) determined there was possi-bly a co-driver involved,” Ruiz said.
Ruiz said investigators also have video footage of the accident, recorded by a device on a Wal-Mart truck, which the driver of the big rig was passing at the time of the accident.
“The driver of the WalMart truck was doing 55 mph, so we estimate the driver (of the big rig) was going 70 mph when he approached a curve and lost control. You see in the video the trailer starts to fishtail. When the driver tries to correct, he is sent over the guardrail.”
Battalion Chief Jeff Brand of Cal Fire said crews located the co-driver under the debris and extri-cated him this morning.
Brand said when the truck was overturned, the cab was torn off and wedged beneath the contents of the trailer and the trailer itself.
All westbound lanes were closed as a result of the accident, which occurred at approximately 2:30 p.m. All lanes were opened by approximately 7:45 p.m., California Highway Patrol officials said.
Ruiz said the driver of big rig had only had his license for nine days.

Volvo crash - amazing in-car camera mount
>> ^xxovercastxx:
Well, they were. Then in 1999 they were purchased by Ford. Now, I don't know, but I'm skeptical.
I remember a while back Ford made Volvo pull an ad for their XC90 SUV because it showed how safe their SUV was in a rollover. This was back when Ford was having problems with their SUV's rolling over and killing people.

Turtle Can Do Tricks!
Issy already found a better version: http://www.videosift.com/video/Sit-Stay-Rollover-Good-Turtle
That is, this isn't exactly a dupe, but the other clip is longer, contains all the content, and is more informative and fun.

Thanks for clarifying the difference. I am ignorant when it comes to turtles/tortoises, and the video itself even makes that error.
Don't forget to vote it up!

1218 actually.. forgot about that one... I'll have to test to see what the new maximum is.. they set the thumblinks to act as rollovers now, so the max might be pretty high... will have to test to be sure.
