Denver to Singapore (and back) in 5 minutes from David DAngelo on Vimeo.

David D’Angelo flew from Denver to Singapore (and then back to Denver again) and took snapshots with his Canon S90 every few minutes/hours. His camera was attached to his neck which explains some of the odd shots in this time-lapse video. [via]

Black Scale unveils a World Trade Center T-shirt

October 26, 2009 @ 8:40 pm

Clothing label Black Scale is selling this T-shirt depicting a plane’s shadow over both of the former World Trade Center towers. What a lame way to generate exposure for their line, knowing that an image of any plane over the WTC is going to generate some controversy. It’s working, no doubt about it (as this post is evidence), but still, very lame.

If your clothing company can’t think of a better T-shirt design than simply slapping a black and white unattributed image over over a blank tee, then you can pretty much forget about it.

A Mental Floss contributor visited the off-limits airplane graveyard in the Mojave Desert recently and has some photos to show of the place. I could do without the HDR, but whatever, the place is still fascinating.

This was bound to happen. Two individuals, Dustin Curtis and Alaska Miller, have purchased the JetBlue unlimited flight pass and are intending to fly to JetBlue’s 43 JetBlue-served cities in 30 days (between September 8 and October 8).

They have researched the trip and believe that they will need about 83 flights to successfully reach all 43 cities. They have started a website called 30 Day Flight that will follow them on their journey. You can tune in beginning September 8 to see if they make it.
