Why did I get this feeling of impending doom about a minute into it?

One thing I love is the universal "are you taking a picture", "no, I'm recording video" exchange. It's true - it's heard hte world over.

And "damn" is correct... that can't be good for the electronics.

The God of Abraham and his inheritors is a God of the desert. It's easy to understand why when you view this video.

I wonder if it really did get pitch black or if it just was the low light shutter on the camera (as the guy filming mentioned)

Hmmmm.

Even a glancing view through the topmost portion of the approaching cloud transmits no hint of the variations of sky brightness above the cloud. It looks pretty opaque. A person turns on a handheld flashlight around 2:13

The impending doom really just turned out to be a distinct lack of daylight.

How anticlimactic.

You're right, parra. I think it would be really easy for these mashup artists to extend this film, make it go even darker and then make some serious s%#T hit the fan. First the screams and weird noises, then some clips from "Pitch Black" would shoehorn right in.

Yep, that's the least of what I was expecting. That or, I dunno, seeing the vicious winds tearing peoples' skin apart or raging whirling plumes of sand whipping peoples' eyeballs into jelly.

No vote.

LOL, sorry for hyping up the vid so much with my comment - first time I watched it, at that point the vid, that *was*, however, the cool feeling I got.

Twice as good when you scrub through it in fast forward.

I remember the sandstorms in Arizona but this looks much more grand then any I remember from there.
