Unsure as to why this guy would intentionally crash a plane??? Obviously more $$ than brains. Not what I would call eco friendly to intentionally crash a plane and leak oil and air fuel all over. Not to mention the rest of the debris. Was there a purpose in this video other than a plug for a wallet?...

Sad just so sad....

The crowds at Angels Landing are nuts. We got about 2/3 up the chains before somebody farther ahead freaked out and everything stopped. Agree and I too experienced a freak out that lead to having to traverse around said freak out. Thankfully after spending some time on top....WITH a ton of people t...

Thanks for this article Red!!

and if you fail to properly prepare, then you die with no chance of rescue. But such a policy of letting people die is too gruesome for the average citizen to stomach. The politicians would never vote for that, I'd think. That would be cool to see a vote in which lawmakers were required a "Thu...

I agree with this - HOWEVER - the Karen's out there will EXPECT and then later SUE if THEY don't get what they want when they want it......sad but true. Very sad.

It is amazing to me that the gentleman was able to so accurately recreate those trails. That is perseverance plain and simple. At the risk of sounding like the "Get off my Lawn" guy most kids today wouldn't bother to lift their heads up from the cell phone to know that the outside exists. ...

WOW.....talk about a rock and a hard place!! Amazing to own that land tho....

some nitwit used like 80 lbs of Tannerite (sp??) for a gender reveal and freaked a bunch of people out with the force of the explosion. At least no fires were started; as this was somewhere back east where they are getting some rain. WHAT is with the over the top gender reveals??? I just do not get...
