YouTube: car (in Thailand) surrounded by an army of ducks, so--naturally--the people in the car get out their cell phones and start recording.

I haven't heard Duran Duran in years. Their stuff still holds up as being freaking awesome. Now I have to go dig up those old albums. The scary part is, I'm pretty sure they are on cassette tape...

Also have this on tape - or rather should. I'm pretty sure I wore my copy out.

Here's an Amelia Earhart slideshow tribute. Under 3 min. The sound is her speaking about "The Future Of Women In Aviation" recorded in the 1930's sometime.
Her first sentence includes the phrase "technological unemployment".
Mobile. Or use the title of the speech to search.

Her latter-day namesake is on a new modern adventure to complete the last 'lost' circumnavigation, if you haven't heard yet.

This terrific pitch for an animated version of Lost in Space was, unfortunately, not picked up for development.

I'm posting the link to this NPR story here because others have posted videos of Lindsey Stirling in this string. Here is an 8 minute radio story/interview with Lindsey Stirling, partly to help announce her new album, Shatter Me.

I don't think he was taking TOO much of a chance. I think that such lightweight drones probably could take anything short of a direct hit from the initial exploding fireworks shell, and he kept his drone outside of that zone (well, most of time). While secondary fireworks explosions look dramatic they get nearly all their momentum from that initial explosion.
While this video did not show this (at least not in any of the parts that got on YouTube), the biggest problem I see would be if a drone pilot flew his drone far UNDER the explosion zone of the fireworks because a yet-to-explode fireworks shell might get deflected in an unexpected and possibly dangerous direction.

And the people running the show don't want ANYTHING unexpected to happen.

My guess is that the people did NOT have any shovels or such that they could have used to create a ramp in the side of the hole (though they should go back to make such).

And even though it's obviously layered as hell, it's amazing how difficult and intricate it was.

Sudden hailstorm catches people on a beach in Novosibirsk, Siberia. The comment accompanying this video says that the temperature went from 41º to 21º Celsius (or 105º to 70º Farenheit).
Considering that at about 5 seconds into the video I think there was what looked like a flash of lightning in the distance, the people there would have been well-advised to move off the beach too.
I think you can see those yellow umbrellas on this Google map.
