Got this in an e-mail. Pretty incredible if it's real, but something about it looks off. A part of my brain is telling me it's some very, very good CGI. But it might be just that this sort of thing looks unreal just because of what is happening. I don't know if this element will be lost when it's converted to YouTube's .flv video format, though. Be sure to leave your opinions.
