There were usually piles of sand which were used to soften the landing.

How would you like to jump from the 160th floor of a skyscraper? That is what these two guys did. The building is the Burj Dubai, currently the world’s tallest.

What a rush that must have been.

These guys used sheep with LEDs on their backs to create patterns at night. The sheep were on the side of a hill and the video camera was on the next hill. Both dogs and people were used to help herd the sheep into the correct positions.

It shows all the commercial airplane traffic over a 24 hour period, all compressed into just over 1 minute. Each yellow dot represents one plane. Notice especially the traffic between the eastern part of the U.S. and Europe, and how it changes direction depending on the time of the day.
