When Don Frazier setup his camera to capture the old Mississippi River bridge at Cape Girardeau being demolished, he had no idea his $15,000 camera would also be blown to bits. Surprisingly, his SanDisk 256MB CompactFlash card, with a few nicks and scratches survived the blast. The camera managed to capture the last millsecond of it�s life shown in the photo below, and one other camera on a tripod near by captured his own camera being ripped to pieces in mid-air.
Neet!

Whoa, that's pretty damn impressive...but was it worth losing a $15,000 camera in the process?
