Filmmaker Ellis van Jason has published a video where he takes his first-person-view (FPV) drone straight over the edge of Angel Falls, the tallest waterfall in the world. Without this type of drone, the jaw-dropping view would otherwise be impossible to capture quite like this.
The Omega Transmitter was a huge 1,417-foot tall transmission tower near Woodside, Victoria, Australia, that was the tallest structure in the Southern Hemisphere until its demolition on April 22nd, 2015. Photographer Tom Blachford was on the scene, as he was hired by the Australian Defence Force to document everything with his camera.
After recovering from the initial shock and devastation of September 11th in 2001, the city of New York began laying down plans to erect a new World Trade Center complex. A symbol of recovery and strength, the complex consists of 4 main buildings, the One, 2, 3 and 4 World Trade Centers.
It took many years of fits and starts, but the crown jewel of the new complex -- the 1,776-foot One World Trade Center -- is complete, and the time-lapse above shows what almost 9-years of construction has yielded.
The Tokyo Skytree is a massive broadcasting tower in Sumida, Tokyo, Japan that currently holds the title of world's tallest tower and second tallest structure. Measuring in at a completed height of 2,080 feet, the broadcasting tower -- which also doubles as a restaurant and observation tower -- gives visitors a stunning 360-degree view of Tokyo.
