Building engineer went to abandoned building after report of bricks in the street. Sorry, WK, but I cannot view this; because, my Flash doesn't work for me on my Linux box. I get a big, blank, black screen with Flash turned on. :-( TimeLord04 Have TARDIS, will travel... Come along K-9! Join Calm Chaos ID: 1496608 · |

I'm surprised that neither of the 2 workers there noticed the cracks on other side of the wall opening up with each prod. Cheers. ID: 1496917 · |

Is this an oops? :( I think it's quite an old clip but have only just come across it... am hoping it's faked because if it isn't - poor thing - what was it thinking?! ID: 1500559 · |

If there wasn't some CGI work going on there (most likely), then that gazelle either didn't see those lions until it was to late so it didn't see the tree (I would think that unlikely but I guess very minimally possible). Funny just the same Annie. Cheers. ID: 1500573 · |

Is this an oops? :( I think it's quite an old clip but have only just come across it... Tag says posted 7 years ago, but yes, still funny. As Wiggo says, probably doctored. The lions sitting placidly while the gazelle runs straight at them is a bit unlikely, to say the least... Donald Infernal Optimist / Submariner, retired ID: 1500576 · |

My cats leap into action (or flight) at the slightest thing hurtling in their direction... although, having said that, have only demonstrated mild blinking whilst watching me crash into rose bushes, sheds and the like. :) ID: 1500580 · |

Oh dear :( could this be the worst typo ever? :( Wow, they're really locked down. I can't even copy the url out of the post and paste it into a new tab. It skips to a blank page.
