Absolutely fantastic: Via CNN and by way of KXTV comes video footage from one Bruce Hyland that must be seen to be believed.
Up close and personal, indeed. It should probably be noted that it should probably go without saying that actually seeking out such footage would be unwise.
Oh, right. Anyway, that said, it really is pretty cool.
