Snow and ice here in London caused my airport-bound train to be redirected last night, so I missed my flight to Edinburgh. I'm pretty disappointed, but c'est la vie. Since I won't have any fun scottish/MovNat updates, here are some cool videos that were on my blogroll today:
And as the TSA stuff continues to grab everyone's attention, this is the strangest story I've heard yet: a 52 year old woman in a wheelchair showed up to the airport in only her underwear to simplify things. They still subjected her to a one hour pat down. Too strange to be made up.
This wingsuit video is a little too long, but still amazing.
A climber in Canada had a rock fall on his head and crack his helmet. He was leading and his first piece of protection pulled out when he fell, so he fell about 60 feet or so I think. Broke his ankle and generally jacked him up. The Canadian Search and Rescue (SAR) team wears GoPro helmet cams. The result: you get to see a badass high elevation rescue on a cliff side. Rescuers are cool as a cucumber.
