On April 26th, 1991 a tornado ravaged McConnell Air Force Base in Kansas where several multi-billion dollar B2 bombers where on the runway. The person filming this video was rather brave, considering the tornado just barely misses the building he was seeking shelter in while filming.

When you look at the destructive wind power of a hurricane, it doesn’t look all the impressive compared to a Tornado. But once you realize the wind speeds cover the area of several hundreds miles and are sustained for hours, you realize the amount of energy involved. The constant bettering against houses and other structures eventually gives way to massive destruction.

The New York Times has once again published a blog post of such heinous naivety and conjecture it borders upon absurdity. The author, Anthony Turner, apparently knows more about what happened on that dreadful night than the two people involved, and he wasn’t even there. The New York Times is obviously allowing its newsScape to be used as a racial baiting battleground that has no place on a major news outlet.
Let’s dissect this New York Times posting …
Starts off pretty mellow, for a hailstorm. But at the 0:50 second mark, it starts getting crazy. And at the 1:30 mark it gets insane! There is so much splashing from the hail landing in the pool, you can barely see the water. That hailstorm had to have caused millions of dollars in damage. It’s astonishing how long hail of that size kept falling.

What are the odds of this happening; a train in motion takes a direct hit by a tornado and gets derailed. What’s even more scary is the large propane tanker car that comes crashing into the camera, which I presume is mounted on the locomotive engine. Nothing the conductor could do except blow the horn. Trains can take up to several miles to stop and you can’t turn out of the way.
