Bridge Implosion In Marble Falls, Texas

Mar 182013

Over the weekend, Ando22RE published this video of a bridge demolition in Marble Falls, Texas. After being a second late of the countdown, the bridge instantly explodes to the cheers of the audience.

Even in super slow motion, it is difficult to keep an eye of the detonations that start on the left and continue right until the entire bridge is in pieces.

Now, the video is going viral, and is further featured on PopSci, DigitalJournal, Digg, and Jalopnik.

Police Officer Hides $100 Bill In Traffic Ticket

Dec 142012

Remember the NYPD officer who went viral after a photo of him giving shoes to a homeless man hit the web? Well, another police officer is gaining attention after performing another unexpected good deed.

A Plano, Texas police officer pulled over a twenty five year old man for driving with expired registration. When the young man told the officer the only reason he didn’t update his sticker was because he had to feed his kids, the police gave him the citation anyways.

But only after the cop walked away did the young man realize there was a $100 bill folded in the ticket.

Can Texas ACTUALLY Secede From The Union?

Dec 052012

CGPGrey asks a very important question that is very telling of the times. Can Texas secede from the Union? Unsurprisingly, Texas has actually–for realz–tried to secede in the past, and the Supreme Court even ruled states cannot secede. But, what if?

Austin Texas Police Department Makes It Gets Better Video

Sep 262012

Two years ago, the It Gets Better campaign was kicked off by Dan Savage, and was followed by companies, leaders, celebrities, and even President Obama. The fad has slowly died off, as most do, but has recently surfaced again with a video coming from the last place you’d expect.

The Austin Texas police department.

The Lesbian & Gay Peace Officers Association teamed up with LGBT officers and civilian members of the Austin Police Department to send a message to youth. It does get better.

The San Francisco PD made a similar video, but that’s to be expected. It’s San Fran after all. But Texas? Obviously, the movement is making some serious headway.

Of all the It Gets Better videos, this may be one of the most emotional and powerful.

Fabulous.
