watching explosions

The kids in my worst class are showing a little initiative. An extra credit project about "Weapons of World War One" wihch consisted of a little internet research and an oral presentation.

We got into a discussion about whether a 10 pound shell can destroy a tank. Instantly the focus turned to the web.

"Oh there's video of that online."

Without skipping a beat they showed me video of tanks firing, cars crashing, people dying and all out chaos. Silly me. While I was reading WHY those things were happening, they were watching them in all their glory.

The web is whatever you make it. If you want real-life footage from the A-Team, you got it.
