The ski jump is clearly fake because there's no yeti charging in from offscreen at the bottom.

Dumb Sex-Parrot posted:What do you mean? The way it is cut and the top portion of the tree is leaning seems to imply it would fall away from the person on the tree, but instead it falls towards the cut (as intended) because they have secured a rope to the top and have tension on it. That is what the person is looking towards when they finish the two cuts, presumably to signal to pull the top of the tree down to a safe area. E: Or this is the osha thread and it's just one guy down at the bottom yanking really hard and hoping for the best.

That is what the person is looking towards when they finish the two cuts, presumably to signal to pull the top of the tree down to a safe area. The way it's cut indicates he wanted it to fall in the direction it did. You put the notch cut in the direction of the fall, which makes a little wooden hinge that controls the direction of the tree. Then the back cut releases the tree to do what it's gonna do. You're right in that it got some help from a rope, but the way it's cut was very intentional.

Hey, have you seen the president and foreign minister of Iran? They went missing after taking a helicopter from the Azerbaijan border, in thick fog in mountains. Total mystery, I know. BBC has this helpful analysis of the official reporting. quote:What does 'hard landing' mean?

Crashing is the natural state of a helicopter so adding bad weather only makes it harder for the pilots' prayers to keep it aloft

i don't think it should count if the ground on the landing side falls away like that.

She's wearing a long white sleeve and it looks like there's something bulging at the wrist under it, probably a smart watch. If you don't look closely you might not even notice in the early frames where the sleeve ends and fingers start, in the later frames saturation blends them all together like in your screenshot.
