I know somebody in SF that would so fund a documentary on this, do they have a media contract yet?

This should be on television!

There's something I rarely see. ;) What causes the cart to reach a maximum speed? If the faster it goes the more wind it 'feels', is there a limit to how fast a craft could eventually reach?

What kind of radiation are they measuring?

These may be silly questions, but that never stopped me before. When going upwind, is the speed measured in multiples of the wind? So if you are doing twice the wind speed, the ground speed is twice the wind? So does that mean the wind felt by the craft is three times wind speed? 10mph wind...

Is there some sort of mystery about what blew up building three?

There was no wall, just breakwaters. (didn't read the rest of the thread yet)

Forgive me, but how does anyone know how much radioactivity came from each building?

Has this been posted already? http://youtu.be/_jlONo6kj10 Video of the waves hitting the power plant.

Does that mean the radiation came from the reactor? Not damaged fuel rods?
