The world saw the disappearance of an A330 Air Frane during its trans Atlantic flight between Rio to Paris …
Here are two shots taken inside the plane before it crashed.The two photos attached were taken by one of the passengers before the aircraft crashed.
This extraordinary photographer kept his cool, even in his last moments of life, to take these photos. In the first photo, there is a gaping hole in the fuselage through which you can see the tailplane and a vertical fin of the aircraft. In the second photo, one of the passengers is seen being sucked out of the gaping hole.The photos were found in a digital Casio Z750, amidst the debris. Although the camera was destroyed, the Memory Stick was recovered. Investigating the serial number of the camera, the owner was identified as Paulo G. Muller, an actor of a theatre for children known in the outskirts of Porto Alegre ..
It can be imagined that he was standing during the turbulence, he managed to take these photos, just seconds after the tail loss and the aircraft plunged. The structural stress probably ripped the engines away, diminishing the falling speed, protecting the electronic equipment but unfortunately not the victims. Paulo Muller leaves behind two daughters, Bruna and Beatriz.
HOLY SHIT
ARE YOU SERIOUS
Haha, EPIC FAIL. These are screen-grabs from LOST. Yes that’s right, the TV series.
Schweppervescence
Fantastic video that captures water-filled balloons bursting in ultra slow motion, oddly commissioned by Schweppes. Soundtracked by the wonderful Cinematic Orchestra with their To Build a Home from their 2007 release: Ma Fleur. Reminds me of the Spike Jonze video of ultra slow motion skateboarding with the added awesome factor that explosions bring - that video can be found here.
Thunderstorm // 3rd July 2009 (2:40)
This is an extract from a good half hour of recordings I took from the thunderstorm on Thursday night in Felixstowe. I mixed this on headphones, and since I don’t have my monitors to test it on I’m really hoping that the low-end frequencies aren’t too heavy in the mix when listening on anything other than my cans.
Fennesz + Sakamoto - Oto (Cendre, 2007)
Ryuichi Sakamoto and Christian Fennesz blend the unstructured and imaginative qualities of improvisation with the satisfying sculpture of composition. Sakamoto’s piano, his style reminiscent of Debussy and Satie, perfectly complements Fennesz with his powerful blend of shimmering guitar and passionate electronics. (via fennesz.com)
