    Just seen the video on here

    http://www.nrk.no/viten/skydiver-nearly-struck-by-meteorite-1.11646757

    and well the title pretty much gives it away. (if you wanna see the event skip to just after 2 mins)

    Anyway it got me thinking what's the rarest or most unlikely event that has ever happened you. If you have pics or footage even better!

    Me? Probably seeing the Eurofighter when it was still in development when it flew over me in Spain. Pretty lame but best I can think of right now.

    Drove down (passenger) the full length of runway 16 at Dublin airport while towing a DHL A300. No big deal for most, but I loved it :D

    I suppose my most unique experience was gettin a 14 week old female Harris hawk and bonding with it enough that on the day I flew her with nothing attached to her that she followed me through the fields and flew back to my hand on command

    No, it's called 16 because the heading of the runway is 160 degrees give or take 1 degree.

    Bought one of those leather jackets all the Polish lads do wear.
    Looked like it was the last one in the shop.
    "Any more coming in", I inquired.
    The reply I got was...... "when they are gone, they are gone".

    I threw up in 3 different countries in the space of 2 hrs before.

    Stag weekend in Belgium, started throwing up in Belgium, puked the whole way on the taxi to Eindhoven airport (Holland) and puked the whole way home on Ryanair until we landed in Dublin.

    Good weekend though.

    A few weeks ago whilst snorkelling down the Gold Coast I saw a poisonous banded sea snake. They are as rare as rocking horse poo in these waters so I dont know if I'll ever sea one again.

    I'm guessing BO, beard and lack of space would be the summation of that experience. You could have leaned over and gone "So, them ANC boys, great bunch of lads Eug, eh?". Could have been an interesting flight. :)

    I was in band years ago and we won a radio comp and got to open for Bon Jovi in punchestown in front of about 15000 people. Never forget looking out over the crowd and seeing a ferris wheel and reverse bungy thing going off!
    Met razorlight's drummer, kid rock and Bon Jovi (watch them arrive at punchestown by helicopter) and watch the show side Stage.
    Unreal day!
