Cool Video: A Man and Grizzly Bears

Hi!

Today's video features a 20 minute documentary that reveals the fascinating story about Wildlife researcher and filmmaker Casey Anderson, and his close relationship with two grizzly bears he named Brutus and Bella.

It's awesome to see Casey playfully and affectionately interacting with these beautiful creatures—and those scenes are inter-cut with beautiful views of the mountainous areas of Yellowstone Park, where the bears live.

Video: Dog-Walker Startled By MASSIVE Moose

Hi!

Perhaps you already know that a fully grown moose can be massively large—and they can also be very dangerous, and even deadly, to people who cross their paths.

An article on moose attacks states that they can be 5 to 6.5 feet tall (1.5 to 2.0 meters) from ground to shoulder, heavier than a bear (male moose, called bulls, weigh up to 1,500 pounds [680 kilograms]), and can outrun humans.

They look somewhat comical—so part of their danger comes from folks underestimating them—especially when they are protecting their young.

Screen Capture From The Video

Fortunately, no one was harmed in the video of a moose encounter included below—and although the people filming it found the dog-walkers reaction amusing—the older woman was probably wise to quickly turn back away from the giant moose who was having a rest in the shade of a yard in Columbine Lake, Colorado.

AWESOME Video - HUGE Guitar Shredding Collaboration

Hi!

If you love guitar then today's video is for you.

It's titled, "the biggest shred collab song in the world II (but everyone only gets 2 seconds)"—and for sure it is BIG (although players get a bit more than 2 seconds).

The music and playing leans towards progressive metal—and to my ear it brings to mind Joe Satriani's early albums—but peeps familiar with this style may quibble about that, or be able to name more current examples.

Anyway, it's a lot of fun to hear all the talented players shred for a few seconds—and there are a lot tasty runs, "sweeping" arpeggios, two-hand tapping—and even some occasional comedic relief thrown in.

 Hope you enjoy this too.

Newly Restored 1953 Footage Of Nuclear Bomb Tests Reveals Their Terrifying Power

Hi!

Perhaps you are old enough to remember when schools across America practiced "Bomb Drills" by having students hide under their desks on their knees at an announced time.

Others may remember "Fall-Out Shelters" where people were told to gather in the event of a nuclear bomb—which were buildings marked with a specific symbol (*see example below)—meaning they that might offer protection from radiation.

Likely everyone has seen footage of the incredible destruction of Nagasaki and Hiroshima, Japan, after a single nuclear bomb was dropped on each during World War II.

Today's video presents newly-restored footage of 1953 nuclear tests in Nevada revealing the terrifying destructive power of an atomic bomb.

The video, perhaps appropriately, is without sound—but is still awe inspiring and fascinating to view.




The video's description on YouTube adds this technical information:
