This is not a VIDEO. However it is really cool IMHO. Click HERE and then go to the full screen mode. One can even see the "donuts" on Mars that were made by the Curiosity Mars Rover.

I think that this VIDEO is cool because it could save someone's life (maybe even your own) if enough people know what to do if they see someone collapse.

Of course, different people react differently in emergency situations when face with them, and one does not know how they will react or not react when faced with a situation that is out of the ordinary?

Perhaps I should start a thread about this? Have you ever been in a situation where your actions have potentially saved a life? Or have you ever been in a situation where your life was threatened and your actions saved your life or that of someone else?

How did you know?

I will state that at first I was taken back by the "live leak" website and I thought twice about clicking on it. As I personally believe that those that contribute to wikileaks should be tried for treason when submitting classified documents, which betrays the trust that has been placed in them.

With that out of the way, I would do almost anything to get a ride in a fighter jet. As I have stated before, I have gone as far as writing my Congressmen. I guess that my mistake was not including a check ( AKA Bribe IMHO). The biggest thrill that I have had was two rides in Stearmans. One in a 220 HP that was WAY COOL, because of the maneuvers that we did. But the biggest thrill was the opportunity to actually be the "pilot in command" of a 450 HP Big Stearman after we did some aerobatics (refer to my avatar) on the way back from the aerobatic box to the FBO that the plane was based at, about eighteen miles away. I got to fly it from 5100 AGL right into the approach pattern at the FBO to 800' AGL.

I think that this VIDEO is pretty cool. It was filmed in 1935 and it is interesting to note how differently the people would be attired if this event had happened in 2012 (even in Italy)?

Have you even seen a performance like this in person?
