This video is great! There are others posted from the same building. Yay for Orwell! No one got hurt.
I love that first guy! He's like - Batman, on the scene! He kind of runs into the frame, stops, strikes a stance, assesses his chance, exits stage left with cape and mask billowing! "Follow me to safety, citizens."
Um. Actually I'm not sure that's Batman. Batman doesn't talk like that. Much. It's because of that awful bronchitis he has, or whatever is making his voice so raspy-thundery these days. It probably hurts a little, so it would be hard to be so jaunty about it, to the citizens. He's not a dick or something, he's brusque 'cause it hurts to talk!
Anyway, screw Batman. Let's see some real-life heroes in action!!!:
If only all security cameras had a little sign under them that said: "FOR COOL-ASS YOU-TUBE EARTHQUAKE FOOTAGE PURPOSES ONLY", no one would ever complain about being surveilled at work. Because of course it has to stay on all the time! People can't predict earthquakes.
And dogs most likely can't be trained to turn on cameras instead of bolt, when their doggy sense starts tingling as if to say: "high-tail it out of there, Sophie!"

So true about the BBrother security cams. When I first watched it I thought huh that would suck to have a camera on you all the time. But add your sign and ta da instant transformation into something cool and worthwhile.
Can you imagine? Watch the video again and just superimpose that over. Picturing that dude, all BATMAN'd UP!
That would take it so far further than just up to the next level. Random, candid earthquake footage - suddenly, some dude runs by primed for action and dressed as Batman!
Something like that could make the whole world right.
*n.b. every other hero with a headwear setup like that calls it a mask. Batman is the only superhero who is allowed to call it a "cowl." He beat up Captain America once over that - you BET everybody fell in line!
