Fred Astaire must have slunk into an alley when he saw that.
that shit is B-A-N-A-N-A-S
Word, just when I was about to punch my monitor in to punish them for sucking the freakin’ soul out of that song, they turned around and blew my freakin’ mind.
A witness to the assassination of a President.
President Lincoln.
I posted this in its own thread in MPSIMS, but I think it counts as a ‘Holy crap!’ video as well.
The YouTube video is just the video, and does not have the commentary, animations, photos, and other things the members-only AOPA page does; so here’s what’s happening:
A pilot takes off in his Mooney and experiences an engine failure on take-off. Going against procedure, he executes a turn to the right to return to the runway. He needs to clear some trees during his 270º turn, then needs to make a couple of 45º turns to line up. (If he was going to turn – which he did – he should have turned left and landed on the crossing runway that did not appear to have trees near it.)
Whether it was a ‘Holy crap!’ video, I know that it was a ‘Holy crap!’ moment for that pilot.
Well, it came out the year my mom was born, so I’m pretty sure they’re all “legal” by now 
Oh dear God. There’s some food poisoning waiting to happen! She appears to be adding the macaroni while it’s still hot. That’s explicitly forbidden in restaurant food safety guidelines (at least here in Washington state) when you’re making cold salads like this. You’re supposed to chill everything to below 40° F before mixing it all together, the reason being that the end product is so thick and heavy that it takes a long freakin’ time to cool, which gives bacteria plenty of time to multiply.
My contribution: 100 MPH … on a bicycle … down Mt. Fuji.
Oops, my bad, it’s not Mt. Fuji. It’s an ash volcano called Cerro Negro in Nicaragua.
The second largest aquarium tank in the world. For best results: pause the video before it starts, let it load a bit, make sure your volume is up enough to hear music, and go full-screen. Takes your breath away.
One of the best displays of driving i’ve seen. Almost makes you root for the bad guy.
holy crap!
Heard about this one all day today: Haitian dog reacting prior to earthquake.
The times on the first and second halves of that video are within 1 second of each other, judging by the onset of severe shaking. In the second half, you can see an office window in the upper right shaking at about the same time as the dog takes off. That’s probably the P-wave, which arrives before the S-wave (the major shaking). So the dog felt the P-wave. Having been in California for a couple of quakes, I can say there’s nothing too special about that. You DO feel the P-wave, but it’s not that strong so you don’t know right away if it really is an earthquake. That’s why the man didn’t run at the same time the dog did.
I know, it’s insane. Did you see his shoe being blown off? Now that is close.
Here’s a few.
A little dancing:
A little ditty on the piano:
Mind that first step:
(Rod Pack did it first in ~1960 but still)
I think it was the director of “Labyrinth” who called Michael Moschen the closest thing to actual magic he’d ever seen:
Part of the final steel refinery fight in Drunken Master 2:
Nope, sorry. That one is definitely “HOLY CRAP!” worthy.
Castle Bravo nuclear test (15 MT)
The Bravo test went over expected yield by around 10 megatons and poisoned several Japanese sailors who were unwittingly in the fallout zone.
Tsar Bomba nuclear test (57 MT)
The Tsar Bomba was scaled down from 100 megatons, the max yield potential of the design. The Tsar Bomba detonation singlehandedly resulted in around 15% of all nuclear fallout ever produced by all nuclear weapon detonations combined, the bomb itself weighed 27 tons, and the parachute was so large that it allegedly used up enough nylon that it caused a shortage in the Soviet Union.
So there you have it, the two largest bombs ever detonated in the history of mankind. If that doesn’t make you say “Holy Crap!”, nothing will.
Did I ever mention that I have dial-up internet (WOW! I got 26.4kbs today! Must be Fairy Dust or something!) and a computer with more viruses than a Calcutta whore?
Can’t watch any of em. 
Humboldt County, not Haiti, but yeah.
Whew!
The only thing that would’ve topped that was if it was by Daisy & Violet Hilton!
Where’s Rule 34 when you need it?
Outstanding… I want that as my screensaver.
I have dreams exactly like this. And I mean exactly like this.
