SCARY FERRIS WHEEL RIDE New Year 2010 [02:48]
A Ferris wheel (also known as an observation wheel or big wheel) is a nonbuilding structure, consisting of a rotating upright wheel with passenger cars (sometimes referred to as gondolas or capsules) attached to the rim. The original Ferris Wheel The original Chicago Ferris Wheel, built for the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition Wiener Riesenrad, Vienna The original Ferris Wheel, sometimes also referred to as the Chicago Wheel, opened to the public on June 21, 1893, at the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, Illinois. Intended to rival the 324-metre (1060 ft) Eiffel Tower, the centerpiece of the 1889 Paris Exposition, it was the Columbian Exposition's largest attraction, with a height of 80.4 metres (264 ft). It was designed and constructed by George Washington Gale Ferris, Jr., graduate of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, bridge-builder. He began his career in the railroad industry and then pursued an interest in bridge building. Ferris understood the growing need for structural steel and founded GWG Ferris & Co. in Pittsburgh, a firm that tested and inspected metals for railroads and bridge builders. The wheel rotated on a 71-ton, 45.5-foot axle comprising what was at that time the world's largest hollow forging, manufactured in Pittsburgh by the Bethlehem Iron Company and weighing 89320 pounds, together with two 16-foot diameter cast-iron spiders weighing 53031 pounds.[2] There were 36 cars, each fitted with 40 revolving chairs and ...

Novokuznetsk - A city in under 10 minutes [08:21]
This video was edited by myself with clips sent over from family over there. All the music is mentioned in the video itself so if you like it feel free to download it from itunes. I do not own the music. The city was founded in 1618 by Cossacks, growing greatly after Stalin's industrialization which helped it build the nation's largest coal mines and steel plants. With a population of over 548000, the city harbors many post-secondary Universities for both engineering and medicine. The city also has nationally-acclaimed hockey and rugby teams, and has many municipal transportation systems in place. I guess if you want to know from first hand experience, it's a great city but does have it's flaws just like any big city. Crime is obviously big in certain regions, and you can sense the smog from the city's steel mill throughout the region. However if you drive out by 30 minutes it's easy to find cottage country and many other natural landscape features.
