This is a clip from the Tianmen National Forest Park in Zhangjiajie, China (previously seen with athletes parkouring down) where a publicity stunt involving a Chery SUV attempting to drive up the 999 stairs leading to ‘Heaven’s Gate’ went horribly wrong. The SUV eventually slips backwards and destroys part of

Because evolution is just an r short of revolution (I don’t know I’m just spitballing here), this is a video featuring a brief evolutionary history of Theo Jansen’s wind-powered Strandbeests, culminating in footage of his most recent species.
