This is a video from explainer of things Tom Scott taking a tour of and discussing the last aerial ropeway in England, one built in the 1920’s that’s operated by Claughton Brickworks in Lancashire. The ropeway is about 1.5-miles long, hauls 300-tons of shale every day, and does it all

This is some dashcam footage from a car hauler that captures a tanker truck running into the median barrier and exploding on I-75 in Troy, Michigan. Thankfully, the 50-year old driver escaped with only minor injuries, and nobody else was harmed in the incident. That is a relief. Still, 14,000

This is a video from the 2019 (feels like forever ago, doesn’t it?) Monster Jam World Finals in Orlando, Florida of the Scooby Doo monster truck’s winning crowd-judged freestyle run by driver Linsey Reed. And while Scooby might not have helped the gang solve any mysteries, he did do some

This is some underbelly footage from a plane dropping as many as 35,000 young fish at a time into remote lakes in Utah’s Boulder Mountain region (elevation: ~7,125 feet) to ensure there’s a healthy population present. I wonder what those fish were thinking. You think they briefly though they were

this is the music video for Canadian rock band Suuns’ song ‘C-Thru’, which is entirely rendered in moving Magic Eye autostereogram form. For those of you who want to watch it but never had much luck seeing Magic Eye pictures, my best advice to you is to focus on an
