The gigantic marionettes in Berlin! To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, a several-day performance by France¡¯s Royal de Luxe street theatre company, titled ¡°The Berlin Reunion¡±.
"the Reunion show featured two massive marionettes, the Big Giant, a deep-sea diver, and his niece, the Little Giantess. The storyline of the performance has the two separated by a wall, thrown up by ¡°land and sea monsters¡±. The Big Giant has just returned from a long and difficult ¨C but successful ¨C expedition to destroy the wall, and now the two are walking the streets of Berlin, seeking each other after many years apart."

"I was adrift for 47 days.
Accompanied only by despair, and my delirium,
One day I thought my Ex-Girlfriend was coming to save me,
and then somehow I was in Venice,
I thought even a sea monster was following me,
and I even believed my daughter had come to take me home,
But in reality the wind came and blew me into the shipping lanes,
so it was nature that saved me."

Avalanche Skier POV Helmet Cam Burial & Rescue in Haines, Alaska

By Ben on Mon Oct 5 2009 | Comments this
Gear | Video
A skier gets buried in an avalanche, he is rescued only 4 and a half minutes later. Everything get caught on film by the video camera attached on his helmet.
"This was a decent sized avalanche. 1,500 feet the dude fell in a little over 20 seconds. The crown was about 1 - 1.5m. The chute that he got sucked through to the skier's right was flanked on either side by cliff bands that were about 30m tall. He luckily didn't break any bones and obviously didn't hit anything on the run out.
...
He also got very lucky to be honest. In the time that he's buried, you can hear his breathing already accelerate. The ruffling noise back and forth is his chest rising and falling and the noise that his jacket makes. The intermittent whimpering noise you hear is him trying to swallow and get some air since the avalung wasn't fully in his mouth and instead just to the corner of his mouth.
