There’s a whole collection of “segway falls” on youtube and some of these are so entertaining it amazes me they don’t get more exposure. This one’s pretty good - the cape adds some effect but it doesn’t do much in the way of keeping this poor broad upright.

I’m not sure why I don’t remember this show since I’m sure I was the prime marketing target for this type of thing. I suppose that could be the reason it was canceled after 1 season; though watching the trailer leads me to believe otherwise. For one, this was created by the same group that introduced us to Baywatch. I have a feeling the older audience was either still busy watching Baywatch or simply getting tired of the pathetic excuses to show women in Bikinis on TV. Not to mention Terry “Hulk” Hogan, whom we’re somehow lead to believe became the sole proprietor of the most bad ass boat known to man.

I guess its rather easy to see why Thunder in Paradise was canceled.

This is the Joint Strike Fighter, aka F-35, taking off and landing vertically. This was developed as a shared asset between several nations like Australia, Israel and Japan. You can see a long list of similarities with the American F-22 which was also developed by Lockheed Martin. The major difference is that the F-35 uses a standard afterburner while the F-22 has dual afterburning turbofans with thrust vectoring. You can sort of see the vectoring mechanism in the early part of the following video.
