If I spoke the language, I imagine I'd have heard a few WTF's going on there! I know it’s tragic and I’m glad all are safe, but it truly made me giggle until tears rolled down my face.

I too, came to post about how impressive that camera work was. I was suspicious at first because it seemed to have all the seamless fake-amateur zooms and pullouts that you see in "reality" commercials. Shaky enough to have you think it's witness shot, but captures all the elements to deliver a typical story arc. Not to mention the speeding train doesn't even escape the frame! But apparently it's real! I completely agree. I too, came to post about how impressive that camera work was.
