    Anybody get a good look at the markings? Maybe the Canucks are making some recon flights before the invasion.

    Wow, the homeless have moved lawn furniture to the abandoned condos.



    Clever.



    Not much of a lawn, however.



    Is someone having fun with tilt-shift-esque lenses?

    Back in '99 similar thing happened to me in SF, although my vantage point was on the ground. Was in the middle of an ad briefing on the company patio in the Levi plaza when the Blue Angels weaved between the towers overhead during their practice run. Those guys have the best jobs in the world.

    Normally, jets aren't allowed to fly so low. In Detroit, however, there's no real risk of it hitting a populated area. And all those windows were broken way before we got here.

    true, a long lens will foreshorten the image a bit, but having shot my share of air shows and races, this is still a damn nice shot.

    What's your problem, Jalopnik?

    You're everyone's problem. That's because every time you go up in the air, you're unsafe. I don't like you because you're dangerous.

    Ok, so what isn't explained in this video, is how they figured out there were cars, and why they were searching for cars in the river.

    More mysterious are the hundreds of car tires found while cleaning the canals of the city without any cars; Venice (Italy).


    Actually, tourists thought it was mysterious, Venetians know the tires where used on the boats to absorb the shocks while "parking".

    When they said about the cars being from the 70s. The car being pulled looked very much like a Daytona from the 80s
