I think they ought to let Eddie the Eagle make the last jump (or in his case drop) off of it.

I remember him! Man the memories.

This should be an interesting shot. Looking foward to seeing a video.

I am looking for a video still. But I did see it on the news and it was, well interesting the way it went down.

In the interview the chief blaster said it was going to collapse "like a pocket rule"

That is what it did. I still haven't found a video.

Do you see the people cruising up the slope in the cable cars during the shot? Maybe it was just the angle but they looked pretty close.

Here is a pretty interesting picture.

Evidently the Olympic ski jumping committee has chaned the standards for ski jumps and a lot of the existing ones have to be demolished. The next on is in Poland.
