Millennial Extremes 8: BASE Jumping in Singapore

Here's a 2012 Happy New Year video from BASE jumpers in Singapore, done against the city's skyline from the Marina Bay Sands Skypark. Hat tip to The Atlantic: "As if leaping from the top of a 55-story resort weren't spectacular enough, this video uses Singapore's futuristic skyline and Marina Bay Sands Skypark as a backdrop. The video was directed by Snow R. Shai of Snowdrum Audio Visual, and the BASE jumpers are Marta Empinotti, James Pouchert, Amanda Vicharelli, Anne Helliwell, Tim Mattson, Brendon Cork and Jeb Corliss."

Readers Say

"I was [s]truck by the thought that another dominant illusion that bewitches the poor, the r[i]ch, the powerful and the weak equally is that tomorrow will look like yesterday... It is happening again... In so many ways we continue to hold onto past pains, to refu[s]e to look at and truly feel what has happened, to not notice that we act from a place of fear in the face of some distant echo. Nothing will ever be the same." (7 May 2020)
