This is a sad one, Aryton Sennas last lap, He doesn't know that he's seconds away from death, life can turn off just like the flick of a switch.

I couldn't watch that. I know it was twenty years ago this year but it seems like yesterday. Senna was and still is one of my heros. Heartbreaking time.

A time when all the world really was watching.

Striking moment

DEFTLEFTHAND

The infamous 'Corporal Killings' in Belfast , the initial scenes were captured on camera. Two BA Corporals by accident drove into Caoimhin Mac Bradaigh's cortege, tensions in the city were high after the UDA's Michael Stone's graveyard assault in Milltown 3 days earlier where Mac Bradaigh was murdered.

On a slightly more positive note, the two skydiving planes that collided above Superior, Wisconsin last year. All captured on Go-Pro cameras, amazingly the 9 skydivers and two pilots all survived...

Okay, be warned. The following clip could cause some people distress. Skip to 1.44 for the incident.

A Mafia hit carried out in broad daylight in Naples which was captured on CCTV. The victim was a Camorra member engaged in a power struggle with other members.

How did the pilots get out?

The pilot in the plane that had the wing ripped off managed to bail with an emergency chute before the plane tailspun completely. The pilot on the upper plane actually managed to land his even though it had a damaged prop and aileron surfaces.

That.......was very upsetting. I've been less upset seeing people blown up on liveleak. Its especially upsetting I think because of the male father/brother/friend/boyfriend drivers immediate distraught distress because although unseen you know his reaction must be so strong and immediate because the poor girls injuries must have been devastating and obvious mortal wounds.

Cold sweats here watching that, was driving through Glasgow and they have a 5 lane bypass, car in front hit what I thought was wet cardboard, turned out to be the corner connector went right thought the middle of the windscreen.
Just made it to the hard shoulder. Recovery men were shocked when they saw it.

The Senna crash is with me to this day. I saw it live on tv as a teenager and didnt think it was fatal at the time.

The 1st race I ever watched in full was the 1993 Portugese GP. By Imola 94 I was mad into the sport, had an idea what Senna represented (an almost God like figure in F1) and was a growing fan of his, especially as he was the underdog against Schumachers 2 wins in Interlagos and Aida. To witness the crash is as haunting now as ever. When they announced the news that evening I was sitting in my Dads car listen to the radio announcing it. That sense of emptiness is/was a bottomless feeling. 1 minute it Murray interviewing him on race morning, then the crash, then no more. So sad.

Just after watching that fatal crash of the brick through the car window. Similar video here of a fatal accident during a demolition. Shocking how far and fast the bricks come.

Warning - not easy watching:

and now for some relief. forward to 2.40

Used to do hill climbs when I was younger - this video always popped up as one of the luckiest recoveries ever. Definite brown trouser moment....

Heres another. Quite eerie with a pair of earphones & with the volume up. A load of these weird sky sound vids on youtube...

--Kaiser--

For the above, I saw a good explanation for that from an acoustic engineer. Something about different density levels of air and the sound bouncing off one and down into an area up to hundreds of miles away

Standman

If I had to guess I would say it is caused by some kind of metal-on-metal vibration. It sounds exactly like the hinges on a metal farm gate as it's being slowly opened and closed, but much louder obviously.

Andrewf20

There is a scientific explanation as mentioned here:

Its a bizarre phenomenon that id love to experience. There were sounds reported in northern Ireland and Europe also.

That's actually American soil so no shame on us

Wow, that Budapest "sky sound" sounds exactly like the Tripod sounds in Spielberg's War of the Worlds remake

Is it just me or is what's happening in Syria right now being down played? I remember Rwanda and the Balkans receiving apocalyptic type coverage.

If you keep watching, you'll see the indiscriminate and awesome destruction of these barrel bombs, one of which killed 83 civilians in recent days.

One city, one week (while the peace talks in Geneva on going). I've removed the embedd as it's graphic towards the end.

The mainstream media control what you see if you havent a brain cell up above. According to them its all okay. Any exposes on the internet are treated with the same contempt........you are all mad asshole keyboard warriors.

Humanity is a funny thing, dictated by humans that are more human that others!

Yep, absolutely. By coincidence, all of the skydivers brought along go-pros strapped to their helmets, hence the abundance of hi-res footage. Couldn't believe it myself either when I first saw it. One second you're in a plane, next second you're straddling the tail of a different plane...

Two questions I have on this:

1 -Why is the brick flying through the air like that. Did the driver cause that by suddenly braking??

2 - What does "dross" mean? Everyone is posting that word in the comments section on youtube...??

I hate watching this video, such horrible screams that the police officer makes as he is being shot. This was used in a class to illustrate the dangers of hesitating in life threatening situations. It definitely drove the point home.
