19km (based on google earth measurements) covered in 3min.

3min = 0.05th of an hour

19km / 0.05 = 380km/h

watching that video would be the view you would have if you were driving 380km/h.


actually, if you start from 10sec into the video from when you get onto the highway and use 2.48 as your time...

2.48min = 0.0413rd of an hour

19km / 0.0413 = 459.68km/h

interesting calculation... this one by Lone Primate is much faster, starting in Oakville, looping through Toronto and ending up back in Oakville:

I'm really liking the 401 footage @ Leslie, that is super cool!

I use to live right there at Don Mills / 401 in the Haven Brook Towers. Having a view of Don Mills / 401 was always entertaining, especially during snowy / icy conditions.

I hadn't realized that the comments on YouTube were equivalent to the city vs city type drivel found on SSC.

I hadn't realized that the comments on YouTube were equivalent to the city vs city type drivel found on SSC.

I noticed that myself. It's disheartening how many people there are out there who, rather than celebrate what they cherish about their own home towns, go trolling for other people who do so they can dump on them and try to make them feel small.

Or the comments that swear that its "North York" when you clearly see the Ellipse Condos and its Scarborough City Centre.

Forget Youtube... Flickr now also does video!

Compare my Museum Station video clip on Youtube vs. on Flickr. From what I see, the video on Flickr runs more smoothly than on Youtube.

I couldn't find the thread for 500 Adelaide Street East, so I'm posting this video here. Toronto has so many projects on the go, it's getting hard to find threads on this site. Using the search turned up nothing. Anyway, this is 500 Adelaide East, although the front of the building, which has the retail component, faces King street East.
