April 3, 20197 yr So my cousin sent me a Youtube vid of crazy people climbing towers to dizzying heights bare-handed and otherwise acting crazy, and I went to Youtube to send her back something crazier, if I could. Instead, I found this. 😲 Strangely enough, the climbing vids left me neutral, but this curled my toes, perhaps because I could more easily imagine myself inadvertently in a situation like this, whereas I would never climb one of those towers, buildings, bridges, etc.  We are all connected..... To each other, biologically...... To the Earth, chemically...... To the rest of the Universe atomically.  Devons rig Intel Core i5 13600K @ 5.1GHz / G.SKILL Trident Z5 RGB Series Ram 64GB / GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 4070 Ti GAMING OC 12G Graphics Card / Sound Blaster Z / Meta Quest 2 VR Headset / Klipsch® Promedia 2.1 Computer Speakers / ASUS ROG SWIFT PG279Q ‑ 27" IPS LED Monitor ‑ QHD / 1x Samsung SSD 850 EVO 500GB / 2x Samsung SSD 860 EVO 1TB / 1x Samsung - 970 EVO Plus 2TB NVMe / 1x Samsung 980 NVMe 1TB / 2 other regular hd's with up to 10 terabyte capacity / Windows 11 Pro 64-bit / Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite AX Motherboard LGA 1700 DDR5
April 3, 20197 yr As a trike pilot in real life some years ago I appreciate this video, it is hard to watch but reminds me of the time when I took off with my CFI and unforecasted 20 knot gusty winds aloft came up and shook us around. But my CFI knew I was cool headed and he thought it was the perfect time for me to practice Trike S-Turns and turns around a point, which I did to his satisfaction, then he panicked fearing ferocious winds at his private airstrip in Brenda AZ. But I stayed cool and guided the trike down to the landing strip, opposite to the direction we took off from as the winds had shifted 180 degrees but were perfectly in my face and I was able to land his stricken trike on a dime, just as I had anticipated. It was the only time in my life I had to calm down a CFI and the last time I flew with him, you do not want to fly with a CFI who panics, it is better to fly with a CFI like Star Trek's Spock or Lieutenant Commander Data before he got his emotion chip..

April 4, 20197 yr I have seen this before, but what I have never seen is the GoPro mounted on the front looking back. Not that I want to see the look of death I am so happy they came out fine but yea, their is another camera with footage never seen. I really hope for a positive outcome after the fact and the operator either stops operating or puts systems and solutions to prevent this ever again Matthew Kane I'm Dyslexic, what's an error to you is not to meÂ
