- MidnightRIder77, on 08/03/2008, -5/+183It's a lot better muted.

"Spectacular stuff. Something similar happened during Rosie O'Donnell's skydiving lesson, but this is way more majestic" - mrhedges, on 08/03/2008, -3/+95Inaccurate title. Should have been "Video of a Solar Eclipse w/ Nerdgasm Soundtrack"
- matt510, on 08/02/2008, -1/+75Actually seeing the shadow of the moon move was very cool to watch!
- AeroMerde, on 08/03/2008, -3/+76Recommendation: Mute it before you watch.
- squid233, on 08/03/2008, -1/+66An even more amazing view of the solar eclipse: http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=396_1217736906
- ocharry, on 08/02/2008, -10/+75Is it just me or do they all sound Canadian?
- RobotDan, on 08/02/2008, -5/+58It's not every day you see/hear someone getting THAT excited about seeing a shadow without immediately questioning their sanity.
- yyymilitia, on 08/03/2008, -2/+53Look at that conical shadow!
- Mingk, on 08/03/2008, -1/+52I would rather enjoy it in silence instead of SCREAMING OH GOD LOOK AT THE CORONA!!!!!!!!!111
- androo002345, on 08/03/2008, -5/+54"I got my binocs right here."
- and303, on 08/02/2008, -4/+49If I didn't know better I'd swear that was Ed McMahon shouting the narration throughout this whole thing.
- StanleyKoolPrik, on 08/03/2008, -1/+45Immediately after this was taken they sacrificed the stewardess to appease the angry sun god.
- thailand1972, on 08/03/2008, -0/+30That's just the guy discovering they served Mexican beer on the plane.
- look4bears, on 08/02/2008, -9/+34This is breathtaking!
- miggyb, on 08/03/2008, -1/+26Yes it is. Watching this video could blind you permanently. Neither Digg nor Gizmodo take any responsibility for any negative repercussions this video could have on your short- or long-term health.
- kennethsteven1, on 08/03/2008, -3/+25I am Canadian, doesn't sound overly Canadian to me, but perhaps I don't know what I'm talking aboot :P
- matt510, on 08/02/2008, -2/+18you are being sarcastic, right?
- Adam420, on 08/02/2008, -0/+12Well the eclipse was only visible in parts of Canada and some other places so yea they probably were...
- GreenChaos, on 08/03/2008, -0/+12Wow I can actually see it happening in this one.
- DrunkenDigger, on 08/03/2008, -0/+10holy ***** this one is a lot better. and the guy yelling is even better :)
- Imnick, on 08/03/2008, -1/+10without audio its a visual masterpiece... with audio well lets just say i was too distracted by the noise and carving my ears off to focus on what happened.
- EmiliaGarcia, on 08/03/2008, -3/+12"Look at that... Look at that conical shadow! Oh, look at that, eh?"
I'd digg this forever if I could - Sponky, on 08/03/2008, -0/+8Start planning now:

http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/SEatlas/SEatlas3/SEat ... - waydee, on 08/03/2008, -3/+11Whooping and shouting like apes, chill the ***** out and enjoy the show.
- inactive, on 08/03/2008, -0/+8Yes. You most definitely missed something.
- inactive, on 08/03/2008, -0/+8Oh boy! And I thought there was a big glowing donut out there in the sky.
- Komodork, on 08/03/2008, -1/+8Lets see, the eclipse passed over China, Russia, Greenland and Canada.....and by the excitement on the plane, it was most likely a research plane, not a commercial. Does that give you a clue?
- lgh0s7l, on 08/03/2008, -2/+9holy smokes
- HeidiRLynn, on 08/03/2008, -8/+15Isn't it bad to look directly at the sun during an eclipse?
- Mononuclear, on 08/03/2008, -0/+7unless its an overnight flight then window so you can have somewhere to lean your head to sleep.
- Sponky, on 08/03/2008, -0/+6You want to see it with worse quality?
Descent = downward. - cusoman, on 08/03/2008, -0/+6Pssst... the embed is from Liveleak.
- SRSco, on 08/03/2008, -0/+5HIYOOOOOO!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ji-cT58rgNc - shadeOfGrey, on 08/03/2008, -1/+6It's not that it's bad to look at the sun during an eclipse. It's ALWAYS bad to look at the sun. It's jut that people don't need a warning normally because there's no reason to stare at the sun for minutes at a time.
Unless of course the Virgin Mary is making an appearance. - thailand1972, on 08/03/2008, -0/+5With a hint of Troy McClure
- Tetec, on 08/03/2008, -1/+6Actually, from personal experience, many people get THAT excited when they see an eclipse.
- GregFD3S, on 08/03/2008, -1/+6Take off you hoser.
- OneRottenTomato, on 08/03/2008, -2/+7Zoom? Does the camera have it?
- DemDude, on 08/03/2008, -1/+5Apparently, shouting like a deranged ape is mandatory on such occasions.
- theragu40, on 08/03/2008, -0/+4Far superior to the originally posted video.
- Rogpog777, on 08/03/2008, -0/+4"Oh look at that, eh?"
Yup, they're Canadian. - jc7012, on 08/03/2008, -0/+4You are Correct Sir!!
- cheifchuck0, on 08/03/2008, -2/+6damn my solar cell!
- Tetec, on 08/03/2008, -1/+5Freaking idiot. You better watch a total solar eclipse someday, to get an idea of what you're talking about.
By the way, check the Wikipedia documentation before being and idiot. - artfuldodga, on 08/03/2008, -2/+5This video is much better http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=396_1217736906
- merdiesel, on 08/03/2008, -1/+4First thing I thought was mass suicide. Still really cool on mute though.
- Schmich, on 08/04/2008, -0/+3I tried listening without the video and I do not recommend doing that.
- Livewired, on 08/03/2008, -2/+5Fail
- SpiderBoar, on 08/03/2008, -0/+3How do you tell it was a research plane by excitement?!
