Somebody sent this to me. It's a very realistic looking airport. Watch at least long enough to see a takeoff and landing.


Flughafen Knuffingen (MiWuLa) Teil 1/2 HD - YouTube

As I watched it I realized that they're not quite there yet but they're close. Technology is advancing so quickly that it will not be very long before we'll have no idea if what we're watching is real or fabricated.

This concerns me. No. I'm not a conspiracy theorists (although there's ample examples to hold onto if you are). But I don't trust the government or the media or.......well most of the crap that's supposed to be true on places such as Youtube.

My father taught me to believe nothing you read and only half of what you see. The whole "trust but verify" thing. Soon I won't know what to believe anymore.

Most conspiracy theorists don't understand the correct singular or plural form of words ending in "ist".

I just got thru saying this on another post.

Unless i am witnessing it in the right here and now, i believe nothing of what i hear.

Trust by verify today, with todays technology, can fool the hell out of anyone.

People have been making highly detailed, very realistic miniatures long before we even harnessed electricity.

Question stuff, sure, but I'm not sure how/why this video got you into that frame of mind. Kind of a strange connection, IMO.

What the giants in the fracking background didn't give you a hint?

Yes simply amazing technology... that folks have been building in their basements for decades.
