I remember this old footage on AFV.

Very interesting. I love seeing old footage from other countries, especially the oldest ones.

Funny how one of the most destructive eras of our recent history is also one of the most romantic.

That has actually been something that I've struggled with for quite some time. Growing up I romanticized that era like most others. I learned plane names and technical aspects, pilots names, airbases, dates, and statistics and all the while never really grasped what it was that I was really glorifying. That's not to say that finding an interest in the machines of war makes you a lover of war but there certainly is a grey area there. It's real easy, too easy in fact in this day and age to find some old footage, slap on some Glen Miller or Benny Goodman and then sit back and feel good about it all. Personally I try to learn more about the actual man inside the machine these days. What was their story and where are they now kinda thing. I still find a limitless interest and passion for the machine but it helps me keep things in perspective... for what it's worth.

Oh man, this is going top 15 or everyone's asleep.

Love cutting into the old footage as a 'revenge' tactic. *dark tale of show biz *love.

HA HA HA, third time is golden. Good times.

So, there are many many people who believe that this collider will result in generating black holes that may destroy the earth.


I think the point of the worry is we are dealing the with same kinda forces that were around with the big bang...who knows what will happen, really. It is both exciting and scary, even more so when you think about the scale of this thing...that was only one small piece of the entire unit! That thing is huge! Like huge beyond the scale of any experiment mankind has ever attempted before.

I remember watching old footage of nuclear bomb tests out in the desert. They had troops all over the place right near ground zero. Nowadays, that would be unheard of because we know more about radioactive fall out and all the destruction they are capable of. But back then, it was an unknown factor. Same goes for this thing. They are taking all the precautions they can, but we are still dealing with something that mankind has never ever attempted on such a scale. I am actually glad its not next door to me

On the black hole note though, I think it has been shown that a black hole that would be generated by that thing would be so small that it would be of no consequence. That isn't know for sure obviously, and we all know the reputation that black holes have so I think peoples fears are semi justified.

OK it only took me 3 and a half minutes. I hope this is all old footage man...

wow. extra-old footage. johnny's smoking.

probably my two favorite stand-up comedians, back then.
steve martin & richard pryor.

There's not a whole lot of old footage of Jarrett...take what you can get, like the Beatles at the Hollywood Bowl.....

Add a Lemon Twist from the 70's with those things and listen for spines snapping.

Think mashups w/ old footage is ok in *vintage?

Ugh even in B&W and old footage.

I know - shame about some of the picture quality, a lot of old footage.

Brilliant stuff. Really mesmerising.

Music was annoying, but I loved the old footages.

...inspired by rickegee's recent post......love that old footage!
