O.M.G! Probably could’ve done without one of those this morning but I guess that’s now in every females vocabulary these days. Love how cool this construction worker plays it the entire time. Like yea, he knows the apartment is going up like it’s made of hay but there’s a ton of people watching from the adjacent building. Gotta Bruce Willis his way out of this one.
Side note: That swing onto the next level balcony was nuts. I might have taken my chances with the fire.
Just a multiple explosion car accident for your Monday morning.
NJ.com: Six people have been arrested and charged with drug offenses after firefighters battling a two-alarm blaze stumbled onto a lab for growing psychedelic mushrooms in the attic of a home near the Hamilton border on Tuesday, the Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office said today. About 60 mason jars were discovered, where mushrooms in various states of growth were being cultivated, along with marijuana, LSD, and the extracted juice of a rare jungle root used to make one of the most powerful hallucinogens known to man, officials said. Other substances which could not immediately be identified were sent to the State Police lab, said Lt. Mike Novembre of the county’s Special Investigations Unit.
New Jersey just refuses to stay out of national headlines. And not necessarily for all good reasons. LAX gunman, mall suicides, and now this. Imagine being one of these 6 people standing outside just hoping the wind picks up and burns that attic down? Instead investigators found their stash which included the extracted juice of a rare jungle root used to make one of the most powerful hallucinogens known to man. What the fuck, man! Where does one get that other than these people’s attic? Um, it’s not for me…it’s for a friend I’m just curious.
Here’s one for ya kids. Don’t use a match or lighter or any form of fire to see inside your gas tank. The more you know!
So last week I asked you, the Internet, if you thought this video was real. Well, the results are in and the truth came out today as most of you have probably heard by now. Just over 63% of you thought the video was real so here’s to the remaining skeptics out there who thought it was too setup to be real!
The real debate me and my friends were having about this is whether or not it’s real. As much of a skeptic as I usually am, this has to be real. I know, I know everything seems too perfect in the video for it to be real BUT every once in a while the stars align and bitches twerk themselves into flames. What girl would set themselves on fire for the sake of a viral video? Shit…now I don’t know. What do you think?
I think my ears blew out too and I’m just watching the video…goddamn!
Gawker: A passenger on a nearby balloon managed to capture video of the hot air balloon accident that claimed the lives of 19 tourists yesterday in Luxor, Egypt: Smoke billows from the balloon’s basket for several seconds before the ballon itself dramatically deflates and plummets toward the ground. Passengers on the balloon filming the terrifying scene can be heard gasping and praying. Victims included tourists from Japan, China, the U.K. and Hungary; the two survivors, the pilot and a British tourist, survived by jumping from the balloon. “I saw tourists catching fire and they were jumping from the balloon,” local farmer Hassan Abdel-Rasoul told AP. “They were trying to flee the fire but it was on their bodies.” The crash—by far the worst in history—led to the immediate suspension of hot air balloon flights in Luxor.
In a sick way this is almost like a crazy Would You Rather. Would you rather take your chances in the balloon basket which is on fire or jump and take your chances surviving the fall. Monday morning quarterbacking tells us what the better option was but even so, jumping would be really hard for me. Heights are not my thing but then again I guess that’s why I never would’ve been up there in the first place. Maybe we’ll revisit this tomorrow…
Most of you might remember the crane that semi collapsed in NYC during Hurricane Sandy. I waited and watched for a week for that fucker to fall. The area was closed off so no one was going to die but I wanted to see what kind of destruction that thing would cause. One guy told me from 75 floors up it would go straight through the street but I wanted to see for myself. Well, it never happened and this isn’t even a close second but hey, it’s a crane collapse so enjoy.
