This is some footage from a family’s backyard security camera of a distracted driver plowing through their fence and completely obliterating their above-ground pool, which actually helped stop the car from entering the house. That…is terrifying. Thankfully

This is a visual comparison of known tsunami wave heights, culminating with the Lituya Bay, Alaska mega tsunami that measured over 520m (1,700+ feet) high. Holy smokes! That particular tsunami was caused by a 7.8 magnitude earthquake that triggered a rockslide, quickly depositing some 90-million tons of rock into Lituya

Because having an emergency exit strategy in place is an important part of survival (and not pooping your pants at the restaurant table while on a date), this is a video of Tom Scott being treated to a tour of a giant wind turbine, as well as getting to experience
