    Kinda weird how it looks like its not really coming down that fast, but as soon as it hits the ground the whole thing spontaneously combusts. Could be an illusion. For all I know that thing was moving 150mph when it hit the ground. Looks like 50mph to me at the most.

    • From free-fall it's 16' per second per second.ZOOP
    • I think 'explodes' would've sufficed.detritus
    • looks fucking fast considering it was probably 200 feet upmarychain
    • errr....2000 feet up rathermarychain
    • 1,200'ZOOP
    • just seeing the size of it increase makes me shiver... it's moving FAST! Approaching trains look slow... think about itmonospaced
    • At 7 seconds of free-fall it would be traveling about 70mph.ZOOP
    • 9.81m/s^2 x 6 or 7 sec = ~58.86-68.67m/s or 131-154mphcotton
