You see, that doesn't amaze me, because it was carp. It kept blowing up didn't it?

No it crashed at an air show though, but they think that may have been because of a French plane getting too close while trying to photograph parts of the plane.

Concord is the one that started blowing up on runways ;)

Big Waves and the Sea - you can youtube all the videos showing big waves - but I bet its nothing like being out there in the middle of the ocean with 30+foot waves around you - scary.

Space and life beyond our Earth, the idea of looking at a star and the possibility that someone could be looking back blows my mind.
