Crashes and explosions as art: (QT video) So the folks at Coudal.com had a one day video editing contest. the trick was to set Nasa crash test footage to music... And some amazing entries followed. (Warning: if you are freaked out by airplane crashes move right along [no one was hurt in this endeavor])

disclaimer: I won't comment on favorite entries as I know one of the follow up winners. (it is interesting that ALL of the participants where male, but I'll defer making any conclusions based on that)

Gorgeous.

(Am I weird for having a near-fetish for this sort of thing? Plane crash footage, ghost ships in the Aral Sea, derelict hulks of famous vessels, et cetera...)

No you're not weird. I might be though since I'm a girl. ;)

The music from the winning entry is the Velapene Screen remix of Interpol's Untitled track -- it's downloadable from the label here [mp3].

The original, by the way, is from the Interpol album Turn on the Bright Lights.
