1000 frame per second films of lightning strikes at various parts of the US (but mainly Arizona) captured in 4k by filmmaker Dustin Farrell using a Phantom Flex4K high-speed camera. The three minute film contains a total of three terabytes (3,000GB) of data. Farrell sez of it:

Lightning is like a snowflake. Every bolt is different. I learned that lightning varies greatly in speed. There are some incredible looking bolts that I captured that didn’t make the cut because even at 1000fps they only lasted for one frame during playback. I also captured some lightning that appear computer generated it lasted so long on the screen.

An incredible, extremely dangerous stunt recently attempted by wingsuit pilots Fred Fugen and Vince Reffet (The Soul Flyers). To wit: A B.A.S.E. jump off the top of the Jungfrau mountain in Switzerland, right in the side door of a light plane.

A bizarre CGI short by Christoph Krenn (with sound by Matthias Urban) featuring the disconcerting interactions of conjoined body parts.

Contains naked CGI torsos but that should be the least of your concerns here.
