What grows up
1,000-Year-Old Giant Sequoia Falls
So you get in your Jeep Cherokee in Florida, drive it all the way across the country. You sight-see, you finally get all the way to California's Sequoia National Park. You get out of the Jeep, you look around, hike to a waterfall. Suddenly, you hear a huge crash, "like a sonic boom". And you see a 1000-year old tree fall down... on top of your car.
The lesson, as always, is that Mother Nature is a bitch. Or that you shouldn't park your car under a 200-foot tree that's sustained fire damage and is already half dead.

That's almost as freakish as having your car hit by a meteorite, but not quite.
Actually, I think the meteorite car got off pretty easy.

I guess the trees don't like the tourists, either.
(Does this count as a domestic suicide attack?)
