My bet is that he was trying to start an avalanche.

Heh, evidently his opponent doesn't pack much force, but every fighter should know it doesn't take much if you get hit right on the button. On the chin or in the nose, there's a nerve signal there that avalanches straight into your brain if it gets tagged. Heh.


I think it has more to do with the leverage provided by the chin causing the head to whip around quickly, thereby causing the brain to smack around inside the skull like Jello salad in a piñata.
..what? didn't your mom stuff the piñata with Jello salad?

Look at 1:16 in the other video Probie posted, I think that's you substation frying.
>> ^Payback:

I wanted to see what was happening with the power substation...

And that other view is more impressive to watch. It shows the avalanche forming and has some close-ups of parts of the avalanche as it approaches.

"Hey everyone, let's stand around and laugh at the avalanche coming towards us at insanely fast speeds!"

Brilliant! The Avalanches reborn.


I recently lost all of my music and am in the process of replacing it all. I'd like to thank you for reminding me of those guys!

Brilliant! The Avalanches reborn.

Just started watching this and I haven't read the avalanche of comments above this, but...

Am I the only one who thinks the speaker sounds a *little* like Jeff Goldblum. Very nice speaking voice :]

Not really. The whole west coast has been getting tons of rain for most of June and some of July. I am on vacation this month and we have been going through BC and Washington state. We missed most of the rains of June, but we have seen many highway clearing operations dealing with mudslides.

Permafrost is way up north. This place is east of the Kelowna area, where it has been 28-38 degrees C when we were there, so it was pretty damn hot. Not any permafrost there. :

Ah ha!

Just like a geographically challenged American to not know this.

Although record rains may be related as further climate crisis.
