We’ve seen insane landings before—those videos haunt my thoughts vividly every time I’m on a plane. And yet, I want to see more. Here are two new videos showing the terrifying wind conditions over Birmingham’s airport in England. I just added it to my list of places I don’t want to fly to.

GoPros are pretty good at filming underwater. They are also excellent at capturing the sad demise of remote-controlled aircraft. So it makes sense that if you crash a RC plane into the sea, you’re going to end up with some awesome footage.
The video comes courtesy of an Australian RC plane pilot who, whilst out for a pleasant day’s remoting, got disorientated by the sun and steered his poor plane, complete with GoPro, into the sea. That’s a pretty good video in and of itself — expensive electronics crashing into the sea! — but it gets better under the surface. Because this is Australia, all of which is filled with incredible wildlife*, there’s obviously pretty fish and turtles and stuff swimming around the downed plane.
All ends well, though — the owner recovers his (soggy) plane, the GoPro survived, and YouTube gets another fun video. [YouTube via Mashable]

Having honest conversations with those around you can result in quicker resolution of conflicts. If the person you have a conflict with is being passive-aggressive, try using honesty to disarm their behavior and focus the conversation on the real issue.
When you open up the discussion, you stop the problem from growing. Being direct brings the talk back to what is really bothering the other person and how you can address their concerns. Mallory Cara, writing on the Trulia blog, gives an example:
But experts say there are plenty of ways to clearly tell your roommate to do his or her dishes, keep the volume down, and, in my case, mention you’d like to watch TV.
Instead of storming off to my room and cueing up Hulu to watch Olivia Pope’s latest adventure, experts say, I should’ve opened up communication immediately by saying, "Are you saying my TV shows aren’t your type and you’d like to watch something else?"
