Dallas destroyed by an asteroid! Video!

[Dallascaper]

Okay, not really. I slightly re-edited the opening sequence from the 1997 TV movie, Asteroid, and set it to Richard Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries. If you haven't seen the movie, you didn't miss much, but it was fun watching a city other than New York get destroyed. In this case, the lucky city was Big D!

Enjoy!

I agree wholeheartedly! With the movie industry its all about 2 cities, NY and LA.Hollywood dont give a sh** about places like Dallas. If Dallas fell off the map, as far as everyone in mass media's concerned, NO ONE WOULD BLINK!! What is it about smaller cities that everyone doesnt like or cant appreciate???

Sorry for rant. Great video caper. :)

Cool video. I've been looking for the one where an evil scientist at NASA in Houston invents a device which, at the press of a button, flings the entire city of Dallas into outer space...

OK I DON'T THINK SO! It would be quite the contrary! When those explosions were happening in Dallas this summer, every major network tuned in: CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, CBS, ABC....the whole alphabet. Even London stations were reporting on it and that event was nothing. As far as major movies I know what you mean. In the 90's it was so annoying because it was back and forth between events in NY and LA. Now that is starting to change and I am sure even more so since Dallas has scored AFI. One of Nicole Kidman's latest movies, The Invasion, mentioned Dallas and D.C. as being the origins of the phenomenon. Also, I wouldn't put Dallas into the category of smaller cities, yes it is not the size in population as NYC and LA but still, it is not in the smaller city category.

Well, that was the explosions and ensuing fireballs on Industrial Blvd. But lets take the bomb threat on a DART bus for example.....story on cbs 11 (http://cbs11tv.com/local/DART.Bus.Downtown.2.508213.html). I believe all the National media outlets could have picked up the story but, for some reason, chose not to. If the same EXACT thing happened in Manhattan, it'll be all over. I feel the media is biased.

I agree with the rest of your valid points. I dont mean to put Dallas in the "smaller cities" category.
