Cool video from Ukraine: 'Resurrection of the Beast Slayer'.
A WWII heavy tank destroyer, ISU-152 Zveroboi ('Beast Slayer' - the name given for high effectivety against German 'beasts' - Tigers and Panthers) that was standing still near a countryside school for many years, was successfully started using compressed air. Then, the vehicle moved itself on a trailer.
 
How a bunch of Denmark folks make a Somalian bus driver feel welcome to the community.



Too lazy to paraphrase so I'll just C&P some context:

Denmark may be one of the happiest countries in the world, but over the years cases of racial tension and extremism have surfaced that leave a sense of unease for some about immigrants in the country. That is why what happens to Muktar — a man from Somalia and a black immigrant to an European city — by those see and work with him everyday to make him feel “part of the family" is so wonderful to watch.

Oh I remember this from the Danish news a while back... Really, if nobody didn't already know, it was Muktars birthday and he couldn't take the day off, so the bus company arranged it, on their expense, to give him a happy day. :)

That video would be GREAT if he was really talking.

It was obviously filmed and then played in reverse ^^
 
Even then, still quite a terrific yet simple concept of a commercial. Not bad for a 53 year old man who can still do what helped make him so famous. That wasn't reversed though. That was 1 real take.

It was filmed by Nilsson on a closed-off airstrip in Spain called Ciudad Real, located just south of Madrid. Prior to filming, the production team rehearsed the stunt for three days. The final version had to be completed within just 15 minutes – from 8:05 a.m. to 8:20 a.m. – when the sunlight was just right.

“The film you see is the first take. But obviously we had tons of rehearsals,” Nilsson said. “The tension was really high. I saw a tough stunt coordinator swell up after we nailed it. That might actually be the nicest memory from the shoot.”

Nilsson said the drivers of the trucks played key roles. “What they did is fantastic. I don’t know if you have tried to drive backwards with a truck but it’s not the easiest thing,” he said. “And then [to] keep it in total control when spreading apart is very, very hard.”

The trucks go backward in the video because “we all know that going in reverse is a bit more difficult than going forward,” Vilhelmsson said. “We felt that would be the ultimate test, to have the trucks go in reverse with someone standing on the side mirrors performing a side split. And we knew that if anyone would be able to do that, it would have to be Jean-Claude Van Damme.”

I'm posting this here because, this bloke survived this 178mph crash. He was conscious throughtout and only suffered a collapsed lung and bruising.

 
Never knew Hitler was a major part of the Autobahn. The Autobahn was even used as airstrips during the war.
