The Tornado That Shouldn’t Exist - El Reno 2013

May 31, 2013, will always be remembered as a day of pure shock and heartbreak. The widest tornado in history—a 2.6-mile-wide monster—wasn’t just a natural disaster; it was a death sentence. It claimed the lives of the people who knew storms better than anyone, veterans who spent years looking death in the eye for the sake of science. Tim Samaras, his son Paul, and Carl Young. How did a mission meant to save lives turn into a trap there was no escaping?" "I want to be clear: much of the footage in this video comes from Tim Samaras’ private archives. I don’t own these clips, and I’m not trying to claim them as my own. This footage is part of the incredible legacy left behind by the TWISTEX team, and I’m sharing it only so you can see their courage with your own eyes. Everything belongs to the brave souls who were there, right in the heart of the storm." https://archive.org/search?query=creator:%22Tim%20Samaras%22
