TWA flight 800, how they figured out what happened.

Nice vid Sarge. There are some bad apples in every profession. But remember, these are people who wake up EVERY DAY and go to work knowing that it may be the last time they see their child, kiss their spouse or live a "normal" life. I certainly couldn't do it. Thanks to them.

Sure, it's more dangerous than my job, but cops don't even break into the top ten most dangerous jobs. Fishermen are ten times more likely to die on the job than cops. There are a bunch of different lists out there, but most of them point to fishermen, logger, farmers, construction workers, garbage collectors, taxi drivers, pilots, roofers, and miners all having more dangerous jobs than cops and firefighters.

Thanks glatt - thats interesting to know.

Big Sarge · 09-14-2010, 05:19 PM

Glatt - I agree with you. While police work can be dangerous, it's not near as tough as most people think. The majority is boredom & paperwork. That video was sent to me & I thought I would share it.

Big Sarge · 09-14-2010, 05:24 PM

Here's my current fav video. I might have posted this link before. They also have one for the Marines.

So is that hand-dancing video sped up, or is it just YouTube making it look like frames are skipped? It was pretty entertaining, either way.

squirell nutkin · 09-14-2010, 11:24 PM

I don't think it was sped up, it looks like they move in a staccato fashion. They have a couple of others that look the same but with other cues to normal speed. It's possible that they filmed it with strobes, but I doubt it. Strobes are what they use for filming water splashes or lemon squirting in Red Lobster commercials.

Here's a quick overview of dangerous professions
