Norwegian helicopter Induces a Rock Fall beside a Fjord
Просмотров 11 млн14 лет назад
A helicopter smacks down a rock off a cliff face to eliminate a rock fall hazard for the road below. The helicopter then displays its dominance of the Fjord by urinating all over the rock face. This is done to loosen and remove any remaining small rocks that may fail at another time and cream a volvo or saab on the road below. The scaling occurred at Oppdølstranda on Nordmøre, Norway.

    Imagine the shockwave in the helicopter when that ball hits the wall. You would not want to get it stuck either. This looks like a pretty risky job.
