Wow! That's really cool. I don't think I could climb it on the under side though like the guy in the picture.

Amazingly Cool Things
Why does the expression "more guts than brains" keep going thru my mind when I see things like this?
LOL, I thought the same a couple years ago when I was up at Yosemite and they had telescopes set up to watch the guys climbing. One guy actually slept overnight on the rock face!

Re: Amazingly Cool Things
This isn't directly about Offutt, but I was looking up old documentaries on the Strategic Air Command after I got home tonight and found this one. It's kind of boring in that it mostly covers the command and control aspect of SAC, but it has a lot of footage from the early 60's of the underground command post at Offutt.

Re: Amazingly Cool Things
I laughed out loud when I read that the kid did that at a Steel Panther concert. They're a parody metal band kind of like Spinal Tap, only more vulgar. Some of their songs include "17 Girls in a Row" and "Eatin' Ain't Cheatin""

You ever heard of Apocalyptica?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apocalyptica" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
They play Metalica with 4 Cellos.
I think I have a CD around here somewhere (Haven't listened to it in over a decade).

This rescue from a massive apartment fire in Houston is more incredible than cool. Unless you want to hear dumb background narration, mute the video:
