ERM... Actually I have stellar scores on the surveys, and every year students tell me that my classes are the best ones they’ve ever taken.

I was telling my wife about Alaskan bush pilots. Someone hook me up with the highest-grade insanity that they pull off, landing on mountainsides in about 10ft of room and poo poo like that.

The really amazing thing about this is that the plane was flying before it even left the cliff. You can see the tail come up off the ground, and then the elevator drops as he puts it into an intentional dive to show off.

Anyway, who needs a plane built for STOL when you have nitrous oxide?

This might not quite be OSHA, but this is a job I don't think I'd want to do.

The only thing scarier than Alaskan bush pilots is Alaskan bush helicopter pilots.

Once dated someone whose dad worked as a geologist in the mountains deep in Alaska. Wish I still had access to his photos.

It’s not actually floating, right? Or is it, somehow, possibly from pockets of gas?

I think it's saltating along the bottom of the flow, coming off the bottom and popping back up a bit, but I don't think it's truly floating, no.

When it breaks apart it looks like it's quite solid in the middle - basalt can get very vesicular depending on how it stacks up after erupting or how much gas there is dissolved in it, but this looks pretty solid.

Was kinda worried about the lava boat getting stuck and damming the river and things getting very OSHA indeed for the camera guy. That is quite a bit of throughput.

It's Colin Furze, so all the usual suspects, but the eye opener is the roof he's removing with an angle grinder. Children live in this house.

(The shed roof is corrugated asbestos concrete).
