Oh no, I've been rumbled.

5.4 still isn't anything to sneeze at... unless the rumble kicked up some dust, then it's ok

Very nice work. Thank You.

Wonder if there's some background to find on this video?

Not fake, by the way. This happened in Shelby County (only in Texas). The dumbass driver was actually not trying to go through the drive-in ATM, but hit the corner of the awning as he was driving around the side of the bank. He and his ten-year-old son escaped unscathed.


""At approximately 3 PM, Tuesday, July 2, a 2008 Dodge Ram 2500, pulling a new travel trailer, hit the corner of the Texas State Bank Drive-In on Tenaha Street, causing the complete awning to come to the ground. Luckily, the driver of the Dodge, Mickey Miller, of Garrison and his 10 year old son were able to exit their vehicle uninjured.

""According to Miller he was circling the bank to park on the other side when the corner of his travel trailer caught the corner of the bank awning. Next thing he heard was a rumble as the awning started falling against his driver's side door. Somehow he was able to unbuckle the seat beat and exit the other side of his truck as it was falling.

""Mark Ivy of Texas State Bank stated that the main lobby would be open for business while the drive-in is being repaired.""

I've taken my upper-end at work before, in a sound proof room, and could follow with good detection accuracy up to 17.4 kHz (labmates typically maxed around 16.8... I win).

The lower end is highly dependent on the speaker, and tactile detection of vibration at very low frequencies can be confused for hearing. The upper end is also speaker and background dependent. If anything I thought this ramp test might show people where they have 'notches' in hearing: frequency ranges where they have hearing damage in one or both ears. BUT, with this poorly compressed recording on my cheap Monsoon pc speakers there were all sorts of fades and rises in amplitude.

I wouldn't use this to test hearing, or even test speakers, but it was fun rumbling around on the low end.

Nicely done, smibbo! LOL!!!

There's a new trailer on yahoo movies right now now and it's all kinds of awesome. Now, about the stuff that you think sucks - the director made The Lion King and the Roger Rabbit short films, which were crazy good. And anyway, I'm not gonna deny myself the chance to see Jackie and Jet Li in an epic rumble no matter what! http://movies.yahoo.com/feature/theforbiddenkingdom.html?showVideo=1

You guys hear that distant rumbling? Sounds like the Pats offensive line collapsing

How many delegates has Ron Paul got yet?


16 I think. Supposedly he'll get some more from Louisiana, though I've heard rumblings of shenanigans aimed at the Republican party, but I'm not exactly sure what going on there.

yeah, the rumbling engine sound must be a nearby bike, but the killacycle does make a crazy whine when it revs up. Check out the burnout on deathcow's post.

eric3579:
I have one question. Are you fucking serious? Did you read it? Out of all the material out there you chose this to reference. Is it just me?

Yes, I guess I am "fucking serious". Yes, I read it (and you didn't, see bellow). Yes I chose to reference it and...wait...what is you argument again ? Ho, that's right, you have none. You're just dismissing a source because you don't like it. Care to come up with an actual reason?


eric3579:
and where is the info for the 30 second collapse?

You ask me if I read it and you can't spot that sentence located *three lines* bellow the pictures I linked to? Can I ask you if you are "fucking serious", please? Here's the quote:

"The visible collapse of WTC 7 was fairly quick. But seismic readings time the rumblings of the building (culminating in collapse that measured 0.6 on the Richter scale) to 30 seconds before the mechanical penthouses on top start to cave in"

So the internal structure started to collapse 30 seconds before the building caved in. That's quite different from "Explosives sent the building down in 6.5 seconds tops".
Also thanks for your link which, again, shows you didn't read the websites I pointed to, as mister Jones's arguments are discussed at length there...

blankfist:
Is it true? I don't think it is. It sounds baseless. Because a lot of the claims made by people who are critical of the current 911 theories aren't based on assumptions and opinions, like you seem to think, but instead are made from real research and from experts.

A few points first:
* Being suspicious of a government who has in the past started things like the Phoenix Program or MK Ultra is completely understandable. I do not question that.
* The 911 Report is an unconvincing (I would say "incomplete") piece of work on some points. Namely if you ask me, the guys who wrote down that finding out where the terrorists funds came from was "not important" should be thrown down into a pit full of hungry talibans.

That being said:
The most vocal "Conspiracy Theorists", and more specifically those giving themselves names like "911 Truth Movement" do focus on stuff that is, frankly, preposterous. Imagine you are the government and DO cause the 9/11 attacks...why in hell would you, on top of that, sneak in several tons of explosives in buildings occupied by several tenth of thousands employees? Can you imagine the logistical nightmare of doing this? Seriously, why do it? And if you do, why make it a (supposedly) "clean" controlled demolition? Why hide the result and not say the terrorists placed the explosives too?
None of this makes sense, but still a few nutjobs broadcast long-debunked claims. Cellphones don't work in airplanes: Lies. Building free-falling into their own footprint: Lies. Signs of explosions and use of thermite during the collapse (erm, I thought thermite did not explode?): Lies. It's all been proven wrong, but they still repeat it. Each and every "evidence" I have looked at has been debunked, and none has been actually PROVED.
Again, if you have any "real research", with actual solid evidence, please provide it. I doubt you will, because if any hard evidence was found (and by hard I mean which cannot be refuted), here's what would happen:
* Governments hostile to the US would use it and put it under scrutinity.
* Neutral media (independent or foreign media) would report it.
* Eventually mainstream media would have to report it, if only to downplay it.
Do you see any of this happening?

Meanwhile, the real issues (like "where did the money come from", "how did the terrorists operate" or "why did the administration repeatedly ignore warnings from its allies prior to 9/11") remain unanswered. I guess they don't sell as many books.

I am not dismissing any and all dissent toward the official 911 explanation, but in regard to those making claims about "the 911 physics", I do stand by my statement and think it is them who are baseless: they're all talk and no proof.

Yeah, going with *fake on this one too. A real bolt would have been much brighter and thicker from that close. And as looris said, no one would have just stood around and said "ooh, did you get that?" No, they would have ran. ALSO, let's not forget simple physics. If the bolt actually struck that close, the sound it would have made would be instantaneous. There would have been no delay like it had to travel thousands of feet to get to the mic.
Thunder makes a rumble; lighning makes a crash. (noise) This video would have you believe the opposite, as when the lightning "struck" it rumbled, and then crashed as if it was a mile away.

And as far as the "travels through the power lines" thing, you'd have to be an idiot to believe that. Everyone knows that electricity is fucking lazy. It wants the easiest path to ground. Air is a terrible conductor, hence the reason you don't get zapped when you walk by a fucking outlet. If the lightning were indeed traveling through the lines, it would have stayed there, not just randomly jumped out in someone's back yard for him to videotape and put on youtube.

I also don't see a single power line anywhere in this entire video. The only line I can see is to the right in the background - which is the trim of a house.

"Ace Hits the Big Time"
Based on the novel by Barbara Beasley Murphy and Judie Wolkoff
Original air date: 4/2/85

Ace (Mr. Belvedere's Rob Stone) is a bit of a worrywart. His family recently moved from New Jersey to New York City, and he's terrified of the stories he's heard about the Purple Falcons, the ferocious gang at his new school. He imagines a thug hiding out in his closet and, in a synth-heavy musical number, a gang of ex-Solid Gold Dancers assaulting him in the streets. Still, he gathers his courage, puts on an eye patch to cover a sty, and heads off to Marshall High. In homeroom, he befriends Raven (Karen Petrasek), who turns out to be the only female member of the Purple Falcons. Turns out Ace didn't really have anything to worry about. The Falcons (including Ally McBeal's James LeGros and The Larry Sanders Show's Wallace Langham) are tres gay.and, apparently, tres stupid. They assume that he's wearing an eye patch because his eye was poked out in a rumble, and they figure they'd better invite him to become a Falcon before he decides to poke out one of their eyes. Ace accepts the invitation, and before you can say Krush Groove, he gets the entire gang a job working as extras on Street Smarts, a Hollywood movie musical about star-crossed lovers who are also members of gangs. Sort of like West Side Story, but not as butch. When a rival gang called the Piranhas, jealous at the Falcons' success, raids the set and kidnaps Raven, it's up to Ace to rescue her. His solution? He sends them a pink frosted cake with "Make Peace, Not War" written on top. The ploy works - the Piranhas are kinda gay, too - and the reunited Falcons sing, dance, and jump off of a building. The end!

In case you're a little slow on the uptake, "Ace Hits the Big Time" is extremely strange. With its "cool" musical numbers and "say what?" plot developments, this is one After School Special that fans of mid-'80s camp won't want to miss.

I think the final fight in Young Master (1980) is better (strangely it doesn't fit the broken 1-2 style of the fights earlier in the movie). My favorite from Jackie

"yet name one decent american film he's done..."

Well Rumble in the Bronx was pretty good. People also hate on Rush Hour but it did a very good job with the buddy formula. There's a reason why it was shown on TBS like 50 times along with Shanghai Noon. Anyway, if you watch his "My Stunts" he foreshadows experimenting with CGI and we know how that turned out (Medallion, Tuxedo).

As lucky120 mentioned "New police Story" (2004) is one of his better movies which makes you wonder why his recent American productions are so terrible (too ambitious, experimental maybe, no idea)
