I didn't shoot this footage myself (don't worry it's copyright cleared :). As mentioned elsewhere, it reminds me of a hairdryer attachment in flight. Impressive - hmmm, maybe not!

Actually this original footage has no sound, so I added a crash-bang-wallop to spice things up a bit.<br /><br />A few comments at Metacafe mentioned the speed or lack of should I say. Well I dunno, it's hard to tell how fast these choo-choos were going at from the film, but I suppose it could be 90. I mean it could have been 68 m.p.h. they were going at, but that don't sound as impressive does it? "Spectacular collision at 68 m.p.h." ... yeh it doesn't have the same ring to it.<br /><br />Maybe they added a few m.p.h's for dramatic cinematic effect! I'd have rounded it up to a nice 100 meself! <a href="http://www.metacafe.com/watch/338502/2_trains_collide_head_on_at_90_mph_yippee/"> Don't 4get to rate - ta'</a>.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7523045135232018512-6986259540379478576?l=my-metacafe.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Davy_Ohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01098954505480693141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7523045135232018512.post-49966423704436318462007-01-22T04:48:00.000-08:002007-01-22T05:05:50.351-08:00<embed src="http://www.metacafe.com/fplayer/335733/this_bird_never_got_off_the_ground_lucky_for_us_hee_hee.swf" width="400" height="345" wmode="transparent" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed><br><font size = 1><a href="http://www.metacafe.com/watch/335733/this_bird_never_got_off_the_ground_lucky_for_us_hee_hee/">This Bird Never Got Off The Ground Lucky For Us Hee-hee! - video powered by Metacafe</a></font><br /><br />Yup I suspect something underhand is going on here.

He was born too early! Seemingly they all worked at the Wild Bill Hickcock Show and they brought in the cameras to film them one day.
