Mind. Blown. I thought C-130s were big things to use for fire fighting...

I wanna be the guy in the scout plane, flying together with a DC-10. Ultra-cool jobs indeed.

I appreciate the calmness of the narrator greatly. It's nice to hear him describing serious events without too much unnecessary emotion and excitement like what you hear everyday in news or even Discovery channels nowadays.

"Hopefully only" one casualty.



EDIT: wrong word: *fortunately.

Sorry, translation fail.

Keep in mind that this is a training video made well after the fact, not a news clip from the day of the incident, nor indeed is it anything made for broadcast over public television at any time.

I'd expect a training video nowadays to be just as professionally done, and a news clip from that era (or even earlier) to be just about as emotional as you'd see now (heck, there's the following video from 1937. To be fair to him he was watching people die first-hand).

Nose clamp anyone?

That's what happens when you poke a whale that has been dead for 3 days. This took place on the last remaining whaling station in the northern hemisphere. It was closed down over 60 years ago, but it is being restored as a museum.
Today they are working on disposing of the blubber and meat. The plan is to leave the bones in the sea for 1-2 years, and then display the skeleton at the restored whaling station.

There is a longer version here but it's in Faroese and without subtitles.

PS: The cameraman is my cousin.
