"Why doesn't it vapourise their clothes?"
The aliens' diabolical plan is to wipe out humanity and upcycle their clothes for sale on the intergalactic version of Etsy.
“Oh that? Those are vintage Earthling socks. They go on human hind limbs. Yeah, my grandfather was in the first invasion and brought back a lot of super dope threads. You can’t find this kind of stuff anymore. Only 50,000 Imperial Units.”
Or Wish.
Microwave based weapons would do something like that it would combust any organic material with water and leave the clothes somewhat intact. White phosphorus is another crazy weapon that combusts biological material while leaving inorganic matter alone. Google the pics of white phosphorus victims in Fallujah or Palestine. But in those cases the clothes end up damaged and stained by the heat.
Probably just terrible quality lol
13:30 this is probably my favorite set on the Universal Studios tour. It's so cool to see in person.
In 1938, they did a radio drama of this, which was based on the novel published in 1898. It unintentionally incited panic to many listeners who thought it was a real broadcast of an alien invasion
I like the simple cause of the aliens spontaneously dying being that they essentially didn't have the immune system to combat earth's microorganisms. So many sci-fi movies and shows have aliens come to earth and be fine in our atmosphere. It makes sense that our germs and bacteria would compromise their bodies, even to the point of death
The sixties "War of the Worlds" is really good as well. And not just for it's time.👾👽👾
So in the original book from 1898 the Martians came in these big canisters. They were kinda like squids, just a big brainy head, a stretched out flat part in the back as it's ear, 2 huge black lid less eyes, no nose, and a v shaped mouth and hooked lip. There was no chest, just a few chin tentacles for grabbing and a couple leg tentacles for movement.
The Martians didn't eat food, they had no stomach. Instead they fed on blood directly. They would siphon blood and inject it into themselves letting the nutrients from the food we digested feed them. The movie skips this and seems to use blood as fertilizer for the weed as terraforming
This is the most English reaction I've ever seen. You both seem so calm about everything while watching lol
"Sir, our weapons won't penetrate their shields!"
"I say! Hey you there, yes you sir, you with the three legs, you absolute shower - shields simply aren't cricket. Level playing field, what?"
Well, they survived the fuckin' blitz! :D
Trust me when I say this, is Brits and half Brits have seen some stuff beyond this.
@atas2561 Amen. Most terrifying Brit TV show / TV movie to date remains 'Threads', btw. Watch at your own risk. EVERY trigger warning! Pure 80s nightmare fuel.
OKAY PETA PAKA
This film TRAUMATISED me when I was a kid. The only alien/sci-fi movie I'd seen before this was ET.
When that tripod rose from the ground, sounded its horn, and started vaporising everyone, my soul left my body 😂
@brodievickers7158 Oh, definitely the river of floating bodies. And the train on fire. I was frozen in fear for most of the film.
Its the noise of them walking that does it for me. I was 8. 20 now and still have bad dreams of the mf tripods. And every so often i think i hear them walking far in the distance. This movie is one of my favorite but def the only one that actually impacted my life in a way…
Ohh and that part where the camera tentacle comes in the basement. That part had me tweaking for years
Just to be sure, you know this isn't simply a remake of a 1950s film, but actually an adaptation of H.G. Wells' 1895 novel, yes? If you haven't read it, it's BRILLIANT.
Seconding that, I've read it many times (and performed the 1938 radio version).
I have read it and agree, it`s a tremendous read.
Yes, Orson Welles produced a Radio version in the late 30's which fooled a large number of the population listening (in America) into believing earth really was being invaded by aliens.
@@ErrisSqwhich is hilarious
As, I'm sure, many have already stated, Tom Cruise and Steven Spielberg also did Minority Report together. Also another great watch for you and your girlfriend.
Steven Spielberg and Tom Cruise also made Minority Report together in 2002
Definitely worth a watch if you've never seen it!
Spielberg’s last great movie imo
This movie is straight up far more intense than a lot of R-rated movies.
Hattie is always welcome to be part of this channel, enjoyed the reaction! :)
The Day After Tomorrow is a good one
That is a good one, I’ll ask hattie if she’s seen it
Tom Cruise and Steven Spielberg worked on Minority Report before this. Incidentally that and War of the Worlds are based on books.
Dakota Fanning has been an amazing actress and done many movies
Her constant screaming was Annoying but to be fair Alien invasion is a Terrifying concept
@@garethalford682 Well she's a small child and children can't defend themselves against threats so they're hardwired to scream - to alert any adults nearby that they need help. I'm not criticising you but I am criticising those halfwits that moaned about Dakota's character screaming. How were they expecting her character to respond? On a minor note, she certainly doewsn't scream "constantly" :)
This isn't even based on the movie from the 50s, they were both based on a book of the same name by arguably the most famous science-fiction author who ever lived, H. G. Wells, who wrote the book in 1897, and set it in the town of Woking in Surrey, where he lived at the time.
It took the world by storm as it was was the first 'alien invasion' story people had seen, and basically kick-started that entire genre, which is still going strong today.
There's been quite a few adaptations of the book over the years but while many of them are pretty good, none of them have really hit the same mark the original book did, even this film wasn't quite perfect. The original book is public domain so you can find it anywhere, and it's absolutely worth a read (along with some of Wells' other works, like 'The Invisible Man' and 'The Time Machine')
Orson Welles radio adaptation from the 1930s is probably the best example of how the human aspect of this story reaches the audience on another level. When the program started there were some people that didn't realize it was a production and took it for a breaking news bulletin of an actual invasion from Mars. The audience was heavily invested in the progress of the story with some even panicking at the beginning of the programme. Now that's impact!
It's such a fantastic bit of entertainment history, what happened that night in 1938, on the evening before Halloween. Some American households had started listening to one radio progam and soon grew tired of it, so they switched to another station where Orson Welles' production was being aired.... only to hear a radio drama that sounded like a genuine musical program which had been suddenly interrupted by an alarming news report about UFOs having landed. This whole thing has fascinated me for the longest time. Can't imagine some of the panic that may have been stirred up that night in the eastern USA.
Orson Welles had probably started and ended the show with a warning that is was all fiction. But he clearly had not counted on people tuning in late.
Or *_had_* he?
If you listen to the audio recording, it is very interesting; although admittedly it has its boring stretches (it's a full hour)-- because Welles wanted to create a completely believable atmosphere. He was such a creative dynamo. But I'm sure he got into hot water for this Halloween prank. He apologized to listeners the next day.
Here's a taste of the program at a tense moment, for your listening pleasure ....
ua-cam.com/video/YTvU9j3og5k/v-deo.html
And the amovie was made about that event showing how people panicked when they thought it was real.
22:32 don’t worry Shawn, I laughed
As far as the storm in the beginning, since they are on the east coast of the country (in New York specifically), we don’t have tornadoes or storms like that, so something like that in the sky would be alarming as heck fire.
The grandparents at the end of the movie are the main actors of the first War of the Worlds movie in a little cameo.
Now when you hear the solution to the whole mess today it perhaps sounds a little disappointing - but the book was written before the end of the 19th century and back then the knowledge that we co-evolved with the bacteria and viruses on earth and thus are immune to many of them still was *relatively* new. And it's actually SCIENCE Fiction for sure. Like the movie the original book is a lot about society breaking down - only not the modern US but then UK in Steam Engine times. And the war itself was meant as an analogy to the brutal colonialism of countries like the UK. The Martians with their superior weaponry stand for British (and Belgian, Spanish andandand) armies massacring African natives with modern weapons. It was meant to put the reader - back then a citizen of earth's mightiest empire (definitely in the top 3) - in the position to imagine feeling as helpless against an invader with weapons that far above to what you can put up.
The Martians wipe out the Army pretty damned fast - even though they do lose one or two fighting machines while doing so, these moments do nothing to raise mankind's hope, quite the contrary: Both happen in situations where the army (and the navy) get to deal one lucky hit - to be then wiped away by the reply. The most intense scene - in my opinion - puts the steamer "Thunderchild" between an attacking group of fighting machines and a fleeing ship full of civilians who hope to escape to mainland Europe. (that's the origin of the ferry scene in this movie) She's represents the height of human weapon technology of the day, has the finest canons and the strongest engines (basically it's the original's atom bomb being dropped on the Martians, as in the first movie from the 50s). And to save the passenger ship it drives towards the Martians, guns blazing, ramming and destroying one fighting machine before being melted by the others. Good stuff.
Then there is of course Orson Wells' radioplay version he produced (can ALSO be found on youtube) - and while it causing a mass panic was only an urban legend it IS actually quite scary, when you listen to it in the right mind set. It starts as a normal day on the radio with some live music from a dance club and then the broadcast gets interrupted with news about a meteor coming down in some town and we'll be sending a reporter there and here's some more music... And you get live soundbits from the crater and listen to everybody there getting burned to death live (you'll later even get the confirmation that the charred remains of the reporter were found)... You get interviews with the military, you'll listen to the radio chatter of a bomber squad sent to attack the Martians getting wiped out and so forth - and the first half ends with a reporter speaking from the roof of the broadcasting building in New York naming the roads the black poison gas the Martians use has reached until he suffocates himself. The Second half then is told from the point of view of one man - actually now quite close to the original story pretty much.
There were some that didn't hear the beginning and the message that it wasnt real. Far from mass hysteria though. Crazy to think about lol
I love that detail
Hattie is such a sweetheart. 💕 Loved the reaction. Definitely one of my favorites as well from Spielberg. Dakota Fanning was a big part of the reason I watched this. Such an amazing little actress. Always been a fan of hers. 8/10 for me personally. Amazing story, dialouge, acting and scenery.
You should see Dakota in “Push” with Chris Evans. She REALLY gets to show more of her range!!
This movie was my CHILDHOOD.... loved it and still do x3
I’m liking toms new look , just kidding cute girl .
Firstly, I'm glad you've found a nice girl, son.
But also, what's more impressive, is that war of the worlds was a radio play, they did it like a real news broadcast and people actually thought there was a real alien invasion!
She's a smokeshow congrats 😄
You two are adorable discussing safety measures for dangerous weather.
True lol
War of the Worlds, Originally a book from 19th century England that was once read on a radio broadcast in America about 100 years ago now that caused mass panic because people thought it was actually happening.
Also the 1970s album of this story is pretty good.
I have it on vinyl, such a crazy story
There is this as well. Television 2019: The War of the Worlds: A three-part BBC adaptation set in Edwardian England.
2019-present: War of the Worlds: A twenty-four-episode Fox and Studio Canal adaptation set in contemporary Europe.
H. G. Wells' The War of the Worlds (Pendragon Pictures film) H. G. Wells' The War of the Worlds[a] is a 2005 direct-to-video independent science fiction action horror-thriller film version adaptation of H. G. Wells's 1898 novel of the same name about a Martian invasion of southern England. This version was produced by the independent film company Pendragon Pictures. Unlike the adaptations set in the current day United States, this was the first film set in the novel's original 1898 Victorian England. In 2012, a re-formatted, re-worked version of the film was released as War of the Worlds - The True Story .
There are other war of world live action stuff and for those just look up List of works based on The War of the Worlds.
Loved that movie. Spielberg is a genius. You guys are an unbelievably cute couple. Very fun watching along with you and re-living my first experience watching the film.
You can tell when Shaun takes over the camera. Lol!
Hattie is right that you are safer in a car, just like a house with a lightning rod to protect it from getting burned after getting struck.
After Encounter of the Third Kind and E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial were both friendly alien encounters; War of the Worlds is Steven Spielberg’s first hostile alien film.
They also did Minority Report in 2002,which if you haven`t seen I highly recomend
The music made by Jeff Wayne for the musical is also pretty great, especially "The Eve of the War".
Right,I've got the double C.D set of the W.O.T.Ws and it's absolutely stunning music and audio of the story.
@@andrewmccormack4295 And they've taken the WotW on concert tours a number of times. There are some UA-cam clips of the live shows. They look pretty awesome.
Plus, don't know which one you have, but I have the original where Richard Burton is the narrator. They made an updated version some years later with different musical acts portraying the parts.
This is based on a book by HG Wells written between 1895 and 1897, in 1938 a radio broadcast, narrated and directed by Orson Welles, caused panic as people thought it was real. I remember reading the book, where the story is based in the UK. The book does explain why the 'Martians' died in the same way as this film.
A couple of things: please dont sit under a tree or in your car in a lightning storm. Also, it's a myth that lightning doesnt strike twice. If the conditions are conducive to lightning then there is actually a higher chance that lightning will strike again in the same place.
I didn't know that 😮
Tree is logical but why not car ? To my knowledge the metal will act as a primitive faraday cage, of course it's gonna be VERY loud and many electronics like phones might get destroyed but it's better than lying down on the ground out in the open, is it not ?
@@Tacticaviator7 It's perfectly safe if you are not touching any metal but, yeah, not as bad as trees or laying down outside like you said.
@@Tacticaviator7 you seem to know a lot about this kind of stuff ,I wouldn't have a clue what to do in that situation 🤔 I think I would be screaming and panicking
I have heard it don't strike again in the same place too , I think I would be screwed lol I am no good in These kind of situations
The safest place to be with lighting is in your car cause your surrounded and safe by the rubber tires. Earthquakes are in a door frame or some people go in the tub witha mattress covering them.
Cruise and Spielberg worked together on Minority Report as well. Great stuff. Alway wondered how you do the bubble head parts, is it a simple mask from one camera or two camera?
"Minority Report" 2002 Directed by Steven Spielberg starring Tom Cruise and not one of my favorites.
any news on when you will finally watch the 1985 zombie classic "THE RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD"..???....BEST zombie movie EVER!!!
Definitely not the only thing they ever made together, they made minority report together in 2002
I own alot of movies including this one and it's pretty good
Spielberg and Tom Cruise did Minority Report together. It's also a great sci-fi movie.
Your girlfriend is right, a car is a safe place in case of lightning. It acts as a Faraday cage.
It's like Titanic they played music to calm people down to horrible situation they all were.
In with the ship sinking
Minority Report (2002) was Spielberg and Cruise. Enjoy your videos btw. Keep up the good work.
Are you both from the UK?
Yes 😊
@@CinemaRules I'd love to visit the UK 🇬🇧 💕
I highly recommend Jeff Wayne's Musical version of War of the Worlds if you don't know it yet (can be found here on the tube too) - it's the adaptation sticking closest to the original story. And it's really, really cool. Great music. In it the Martians (for that's where the original invaders of the story come from) even go "UUUULLLAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" as in the book.
Also on audible there is a full length adaptation of the book, spoken by Michael Sheen (who'll be the angel again in the upcoming second and third seasons of "Good Omens") that uses the Jeff Wayne music as it's soundtrack - also really worth listening to!
Pedant alert but in the book Ullaa was the Martian's death cry.
Their attack call was Aloo.
Which just doesn't sound as intimidating!! So can see why Jeff Wayne switched that out!
Is it? I read the original, but it's been ages. Thanks for pointing that out. :)
@@commanderkruge No worries!
Glad you're doing well after being kicked into the depths of the Genesis planet!! 😉
SciFi geeks assemble!
@@geosword6 HAH! :) Not many recognize the name. :D I use it since the usenet days. :D
Such a good helpless vibed movie
Tornadoes and really destructive storms usually happen in the middle states (Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Texas, Illinois). This is Boston, Massachusetts, the east coast, where mostly rainstorms and hurricanes happen. So technically, this could be a bad hurricane or thunderstorm.
My favorite action robot film is Terminator 2 Judgment Day by James Cameron
Shaun, H. G. Wells published his story, WOTW in 1897 but you should google The Infamous "War Of The Worlds" Radio Broadcast that was presented by Orson Well's Mercury Theater radio show and caused hysteria and widespread panic here in the states in 1938.
oh he's so much behaved when he's with the girl...
A darker and violent version of the classic H.G. Wells story.
Hi from Alberta Canada 🇨🇦 😊
I love the Hushabye Mountain scene.
Rachel, though a little girl, isn't stupid, she knows exactly what's going on and it horrifies her that her father is capable of ending a man's life but at the same time is comforted by the fact that her father actually stepped up for once and did something really difficult to protect her. And even though it's heart breaking to see her lose the last shred of her innocence, it's heartwarming to see her comforting him after he is also broken from what he's had to do.
To me that's the most powerful scene in the film. It's tragic how this apocalyptic situation turned a good man into a murderer.
When did you get a girlfriend!???
Listen to Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of the Worlds The New Generation Narrated by Liam Neeson and With Gary Barlow
Did you and the other fella have a falling out?
Not at all, he’s in the previous video and we advertised our scream 6 reaction which is on Patreon now, he’s still the main part of the channel, just doing the odd video with my girlfriend now and again 😊
Original source material: War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells, (c)1898
Great film, i think it's a really fun watch. Just wish you never saw the aliens
Dakota Fanning is really good in the series The Alienist also. That would be a good one to watch.
Some people have automatic timers, lights and alarms for their homes.
I miss Tom.
He’s still here, in most of the reactions, he was in the last one and he’s in the next one etc etc😊 I’m just too excited to show Hattie movies she hasn’t seen before 😊
I found this movie very disturbing when I watched it as a kid. This one and The Mist.
You can visit the plane crash set in person at Universal Studios Hollywood on the Studio Tour.
So the 50's version is really good, and well worth a watch - my favourite adaptation in fact. Great effects for the day, and the design still holds up. It follows a scientist and the miltiary, but it does carry over a feeling of futility and some raw emotion. It was pretty much the first blockbuster special effects movie, and it still grips me. The alien heat-ray in it is beyond cool.
I think the Spielberg version is half a great film with some amazing scenes, it just strikes me as undercooked. I have nothing against the direction, Cruise is good, but it really needed more drafts to the script and the estranged father - son stuff just feels forced and kind of old hat. I'd go wtih 7/10. The book is excellent, and kind of crazy when you think it was written in the late 1890's. Everybody was still swooning over Dickens and here comes a fussy little fella from suburban London who writes a book about giant alien exo-skeleton war machines equipped with lasers, nerve gas, drones, flying machines and 3D printers. The scenes in the book of panic gripping London, stampedes and aliens towering over the skyline still fire the imagination today. It's a classic for a reason, and when the aliens die from not having their flu shots it's more a sense of profound relief for the reader than a 'tch! what a cop out!' Well worth a read.
Yeah, it’s far and away the best adaptation.
8:50 thats exactly what my mam use to tell me and my sisters... and when it rained god was crying 😂
You’re reaction videos lately are too much reaction and no movie.
Awesome reaction guys
BTW, congrats...Hattie is FINE. 😃
Lovely couple, and she's a total Barbi doll..😍
I must say that the fancy accent makes my pinky rise..
Such a boring reaction to the best alien movie ever
I LOVE WAR OF THE WORLDS 10 OUT OF 10 WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!!!!!!!
You guys are such a great duo :), love this reaction!
...umbrella under a tree...👁️👄👁️ 😂
While the '53 movie focuses more on the military and scientists the focus being on an everyday man is taken from the original book.
Try this on for size; this movie was released in 2005 and 9/11 was only a few years prior. The MOOD fits that era perfectly.
- Running from crumbling buildings as people die and being coated in white dust.
- "Is it the terrorists????"
- Paranoia
- Militant urges of the young
- TERROR
Have you seen Lindsay Ellis's video about 9/11 and it's effects on media? Super interesting stuff! This and Cloverfield definitely play on those fears
girlfriend is smart
Poor Tom has been traded in.
He hasn’t at all, he’s definitely still the main part of the channel, he’s in the previous reactions, he’s in the next reactions, we’re watching 2 TV shows together and have filmed a new video series together which will be released next month, I’m just too excited to show Hattie films she hasn’t seen before 😊 and thought you all would find it interesting too 😊
5:14 CLASSIC AMERICAN THING
Great reaction and thanks for the entertaining content!
It's fine, British Friend-o's...no...the wind doesn't go toward the tornado. But it does have an eye that is dead air. Usually the air speed on the edge of one is an easy 150mph (like 300 British Miles per Lancasters) depending on size, going outward. And also no...people wouldn't run, they go outside and watch, until it gets so bad...THEN you run.
As I recall, in the original H.G. Wells novel, it was earth’s bacteria….common cold, flu, etc….all the viruses we hate, but for which we have acquired resistance, which ultimately killed them. I could be wrong though as it’s been so long, and in my mind the original 1950s and the novel, which I read when I was like 12, sort of blend together.
If she never seen it, you should show her the 2005 King Kong
Yes
Spielberg & Cruise did "Minority Report," a few years earlier, and a MUST WATCH for you Guys!!
Beautiful couple👍
You guys are thinking of a hurricane when you say storm. Those usually occur on the eastern shore of the US, mostly the south. Hurricanes tend to dissipate into a tropical storm by the time they move past Virginia.
Thanks for the video!! See you later!! Stay safe.😊

This film would be under Natural & Applied Sciences category since its combination of natural disaster, technology and science fiction.
My previous comment WAS WRONG. War of the Worlds was a 1953 movie. I apologize to Cinema Rules for wrongly accusing them of being wrong. I was the one who was wrong.
Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning was great. You should definitely check it out. No extreme politics, just good action.
“It would be hard to be they wouldn’t be taking cover” *laughs southerly* We definitely go outside to watches storms & tornadoes 😂🤳🏻I was almost hit by some debris during a down burst a few weeks ago lmao It came out of nowhere
War of the World was NOT a 1950s movie. It was a long Orson Welles radio broadcast, wherein he told the audience it was science fiction only at the beginning, and it freaked out much of the part of country that tuned in after that because many of them believed it was really happening because of how Orson presented it.
Thanks, Shaun! Thanks, Hattie! 🛸 Since you asked, my rating would be similar to yours. #CinemaRules #StevenSpielberg #WarOfTheWorlds #WarOfTheWorlds2005
A very good sci-fi film! The crashed airplane is still on the backlot at Universal Studios Hollywood, fun to see it on the tour. A great film you should watch is Annihilation from 2018, a very smart, visually stunning sci-fi film with an awesome score and sound design.
Loved reaction!!! Hopefully check original movie...love the 1958, in its simplicity, but beautiful color!
Tom's character should have fed both of his kids to the aliens. Perfect way to get rid of those two monsters.
I had to chuckle on your comments about the initial storm. Living in Tornado Alley, I usually see two reactions to clouds like that... 1) You get your butt to cover ASAP - especially if the clouds are green, and 2) Stand there like an idiot, filming and/or staring at it until it's right on top of you. After you've seen a cricket ball-sized chunk of hail fall from the sky, you usually lean toward #1 XD
I read the HG Wells novel in the 70s. My parents were terrified by the radio play, The Night That Panicked America when this story was broadcast as if it were news. 1995'sIndependence Day is the same story with a computer virus instead of biological.
Read the book and check out the radio program that caused mass hysteria based off the book. This also became many adaptations in movies and they may even have dabbled with the idea of a tv series, but it never came to be. I love the moral dilemmas this movie poses, similar to "The Ring". Both asked how far would you go to protect your children? Would you kill someone? And not while being attacked defending yourself or your child, but in essence murder if u had no choice. The other is you hsve two kids. Youre in the middle as each is about to be taken or leave, you dont have the time to reach them both from the distance you are away, only one. What do you do? If you wait trying to reason or talk your way out of it youll lose them both. Who do you choose to save? Just imagine, that kind of hellacious choice was real in ww2 with holocaust where mothers esp were told to choose one child to live and while shes trying to process that they start shooting kids in front of her. True story. I know many didnt like the ending because there wasnt some big battle and we beat the bad guy. People didnt like that humanity was powerless. But i loved the ending. Anyone who has the technology to travel and invade other worlds would have superior weapons to ours. However any biological organism entering ANY ecosystem for the first time and start drinking the water and eating the food will be taking in microorganisms that they would have no immunity too. One reactor said she didnt buy it becaise their machines had been in the earth for a long time. So what? The machines were, the aliens were not. And beinf in the ground for however long they were would hsve plenty of time to pick up organisms from the soil. So this ending made the most sense and i think was very creative from the usual big final battle that almost all movies featuring invading aliens feature. If you want thay ending watch "Independence Day". This novel had the "smarter " ending.
Didn't Spielberg and Tom cruise do minority report together? I cba to Google it
Here's where it gets original, these aliens come from Mars… I'm sure you already knew about that, but the fact that they modernized the story and it matches with what you would see in and they're really early 1950s movies
PS. dont hide under a table or a door frame during an earthquake... thats very dangerous, you should find a sturdy object to kneel next to like the side of a bed, fridge etc. , cover your head and wait for it to end/get rescued... it creates a triangle of life and the best way to survive if you live in brick/concrete buildings -advice from the Turkey earthquake survivor
Tornados are only a thing in some states and only in some parts of those states. It's not a country wide phenomena. Ive never seen a tornado in my life. You gotta remember many states are larger than the entire UK with varying weather, terrain, biomes, etc.
*Also PS that crashed plane set is still up in Universal Studios you can tour it.
