X-Games 50 ft Fall by Jake Brown




This guy fell approximately 50 feet and walked away. Athlete or not? Seriously is that even a debate. Anyone who can entertain the nation on this large of a scale is certainly an athlete.

Two blog posts about falls in a row. Coincidence?

Minneapolis Bridge Collapse Video

Okay so this blog post doesn't contain the video itself. But if you go to the homepage of the blog there is a gadget on the right hand side that will show you the relavent video. or I could link jack it from CNN:

Take that. Just try and sue me I am a greiving Minneapolis native. My cell phone didn't even work last night between 6 and 8 pm due to everyone and their sister calling everyone else and their brother trying to make sure they didn't die. (Oh, and I'm not dead)

So the total death toll so far is 4, with an expected 30 more to be added as they find the rest of the people still trapped in vehicles under the water. Well 100 people died in the African republic of Congo today in a train derailment. But, they are Africans and therefore the media could care less.

Earlier today the search term "Minneapolis Bridge Collapse Video" was number one on Google Trends.

But, I doubt the republic of Congo will even crack the top 100 search terms. They were all going to die of aids anyways right?
