Apparently this is how my parents went to school

[ISRAADVISUALS]

2:24 are we just ignoring how that thing went through the camera so smoothly without hitting it..damn

[denisigrishta]

Imagine if a guy from 2008 had their windy mic with them at this place.

My dad worked on top of Mount Washington back in nineteen thirty-eight and thirty-nine and describe the living conditions on the top of the rock pile as it's called he told me that many a day the wind blew over 100 miles an hour making it virtually impossible to go outside because of wind chill a friend of his by the name of uncas was actually blown over the side of the mountain and went down about 300 ft and live to tell about it

[ihaveaextremelysmallpenisa]

They must have build this at night when the wind was sleeping

[Sablenk]

The real question is, how they managed to build that building in that really windy environment?

[sheppard]

"seemingly rigid structures" shantiest fence i've ever seen in my life

[cunyrocks]

It's quite a remarkable place! I went hiking here back in September, 2006. When you start at the ground, it's like any other place in north east, pretty mild late summer type weather. Hike is about 4 miles and it's just amazing transition between those 4 miles (about 4000 feet elevation gain) from mild summer to extremely cold temperature with very strong wind.

Can’t wait to see that one random guy with a Tank top sayin “this ain’t nothing”

[ricardsminecrafter]

That one russian kids microphone the whole game...

[luigiviehe]

My Pops always told a story to me when I was younger about how he and an old friend hiked Mt Washington when a sudden windstorm struck-- blinding snow gusts out of no where. They barely made it down, and by that time my Pop's friend was almost completely snowblind. The combination of intense sunshine with the wild windy weather apparently makes this a truly surreal environment. Always thought Pops was exaggerating, but now I see he was actually underselling the whole thing entirely...

[bibundtinafurimmer]

I love how he has to explain why it would be bad if his nose fell off

[devSparkle]

A salute to the real unsung hero here, the guy who had to hold that camera still.

[sbeve]

I'd bring a pair of wings and see where my luck takes me.

[teddybetts]

The station, the railing, the cement blocks: How did they build all this crap here in the first place?

[muhammadashkar]

You know it’s windy when you need a camera man for other cameramen

[xCosmicWanderer]

“My nose fell off, that would be bad because then i wouldn’t be able to wear sunglasses again!”
-The single best quote in a documentary ever

[dimaua]

When I was in Iceland in September the winds were so strong that people had to crawl on the ground. Walking was almost impossible.

[obelisk]

2:33 whoever wrote the captions did a good job.

When you haven’t unlocked that part of the map
