NBA's Dwight Howard, manages a magnificent shot from half court. Too bad that the cameras weren't closer to the hoop, to see this shot in all its glory. Very cool shot. Enjoy!

Look closely, so you won't miss it. This toe truck drivers comes in fast for the kill. He backs up, picks the car up, and is gone faster than you can buy a newspaper. He's got serious skills! Enjoy!

An awesome video taken from the window of a passanger airplane, of a thunderstorm. You've never seen lightning so close ever, and that's why you shouldn't miss this video. Very spectacular! Enjoy the lightning show!

Well it seem that this is why people like to go in such massive numbers to those ship inauguration ceremonies. Too bad, that they stand too close to the water for their own good. Anyway, it's very impressive! Enjoy!

A cool video demonstrating the power of the Russian helicopter gunship Mi-24 Hind. Pay attention to the hi-tech way the cockpit is closed by the pilot. Enjoy!

Here's a cool video of how the biggest vending machine looks like. It's more a shop than a vending machine. You can see it in operation in Germany, France and in a few states in the US. From what I hear in Germany,shops have to be closed all night and on Sundays, so for emergencies, they've got these contraptions and they're very expensive !

A compilation of Japanese drifting clips all in one video. If you've played Need for Speed, you know that drifting is the new deal in Japan, and it's catching real fast in US too. The drifting clips in this video are from the legal competition that takes place in Japan, on closed roads. Enjoy these Japanese drifting clips!

Here's one lucky girl made as a human slingshot. You'd have to be a little off to try something like that so close to the ground. Anyway..here's the human slingshot video. Enjoy.

These rocket fans were very close to finding out what it feels like to be on the receiving end of a rocket in Iraq, when their remote rocket's parachute failed to deploy. This was VERY close! Enjoy!

It's a good question, but it seems nobody took the time to explain to this guy that he shouldn't throw it! Luckily, it ends well but just out of luck. P.S: The furthest guy from the camera is the "genius".

Since Christmas is getting closer and closer, and it's time to share loving moments with your close ones, here's a cute little video with a rather talkative cat! Enjoy, and Happy Holidays!

Here's the real reason why at zoo's they tell you not to get too close to the animals. This guy didn't want to respect that sign, so he gets too close to the cage, and gets what he deserves. Very funny . Enjoy this vid!

Not much to be said...Dad wants to take a close-up picture of kid's pet mouse, kid puts mouse on top of the cage...the rest is history. Enjoy.

This guy is dumb enough to jump over the rail crossing barrieres without even looking. This was such a close call that the train actually clips his shoe! Yeah...it doesn't get any closer than this. The guy didn't come back to get his shoe, though

Wow. If you want to see something go bad, give a first timer a .50 caliber Desert Eagle to shoot, and then close your eyes. This is exactly what happens in this video. Ouch!

It doesn't make much sense to me...guess I'll have to play this level a couple of hundred times more, before I get close to this guy's solution. Amazing!

Here's a footage which apparently is from Turkey. It's from a close circuit camera which was in the Vodafone's data center in the country. Here's how this turns from a little water to a freaking disaster in under 10 minutes

As the title says, this video is a compilation of some of the coolest, and closest lighning stikes caught on camera. Some of them have been previously featured on this blog, but the compilation is definitely worth watching. Enjoy the light show!

This video of a Russian IL-76 fully loaded cargo plane is from Australia. The airplane uses ALL of the runway to takeoff. If they had another ounce of weight...they would have made the news. Crickey, that was close!

This little goat can go on near vertical walls. It's narrow body allows it to have the center of gravity, very close to the wall. Just looking at what it does gives me the chills! Really extreme! Wow!
