Indeed.
A team from Tuba City, Arizona (I love this story already) sent a GoPro camera up on a weather balloon. Long story short, it got lost.
Gone for good? No – it was found 2 years later and returned to them. When they looked at what was shot, they saw this:
Wow. I was amazed at the pictures (and the music* – who knew you’d be able to hear that at 98,000ft?). But seriously – wow.
The guys just down the road in Euphonium Town must be livid.
I don’t know about you, but if I had an eagle, I’d definitely strap a camera to it and fling them both off a tall structure in France at the first available opportunity. You can’t do that with a beagle. Well, you can, but beagles can’t fly.
Or can they?
That flying beagle is probably attempting to escape from the angry man whose internet connection he has just eaten.
But I digress. Often.
There’s great news: someone has done the whole tall structure in France thing (with the eagle, not the beagle) using the Eiffel Tower and they’ve posted the results on Youtube:
Some thoughts:
The guys at Freedom have used cameras strapped to their eagle to record other videos.
Go and have a look.
Incidentally, here’s what video from a camera strapped to a beagle looks like.
Far less glamorous, far more flappy ears. Just as you’d expect.
