Above video is about Derek Devilles Qu8k rocket launch in Black
Rock Desert at end of September, for ~ $9000 Carmack Prize.

Seeking more info about the launch, I looked at item 2 at
http://www.exitstrategy.co.nz/2011/10/10/monday-10th-october-boys-that-scream-carmack-prize-contender-how-to-make-some-money-world-beard-championships-paris-floods/
and saw that item 3 is about a stolen railroad bridge (said to be worth
$100K as scrap) reported last week in North Beaver, PA. TV station
reporting is at http://www.wtae.com/news/29413287/detail.html.
