rotating knives
mendel alerts me to this photo taken by his father. Apparently Canadians are pretty hardcore about their national day of celebration, enough so that they're willing to give happy, water-bottle-waving celebrants a shot at the noise, dust blast, and extreme fucking danger of a military helicopter landing zone.
I know they're not in the roped-off zone etc. etc. but if it was me I'd be some distance from that scene unless it was imperative that I get in the helicopter right away. I have no need to follow in Vic Morrow's... er... headsteps?
Mack, Kenn, can you confirm that this is insane?
