Lightning is fast. One of the fastest things that occurs on planet earth. Gav and Dan are up for a challenge and fly all the way to Singapore in monsoon season to see what they can get at 100,000+FPS.

The lightning illuminating the bay just enough to see the silhouettes of the ships is a super ominous image.

I love how they traveled all the way to Singapore just to see some lightning lmao that's some dedication right there.

One of my favorite videos you guys have done. So amazing to see the feelers reaching out for the lucky path!

So, basically, lightning branches out from the cloud in search for the fastest route to the ground and whichever branch reaches the ground first lights up?

This looks like a war movie. The lightning revealing the enemy fleet😂

In my opinion, lightning is one of the coolest natural phenomenons that exist

I’m sure someone has said this before after three years but, at 6:30/6:31 right when the flash happens they actually managed to capture what looks like the tail of a red sprite on the right side of the strike. Which is really cool

The amazing resemblance in lightning patterns, leaf patterns, vein patterns, etc is just insane.

Scrolling through this frame by frame, at 9:09, I think you guys caught some pretty good Ball Lightning. This happens after the main strike. You can see little balls of lightning floating off to the right. There are a couple that stay for some time and vary their intensity! Maybe the first ever Ball Lightning caught on film!!

That night shot of the parks with the ships in the background, simply stunning...then the fun starts, wow, you guys simply rock! Thanks for the visuals.

Lightning is fascinating, beautiful, scary, and insane all at the same time. 2.7 megawatt-hours, 10 billion watts, all in the span of 5 milliseconds. Reaching miles from the clouds to the sky at 33% the speed of light, while superheating the air around it and causing massive shockwaves in the form of thunder. It’s absolutely mad

The red line is an internal lens reflection. Cause everyone keeps asking, "did you see...". Please like so that peeps can see this.

Shows how the negative charge accumulated in the clouds sends out "feelers" searching for ground. When the first feeler makes conductive contact, the remaining charge imbalance follows its path until the charge imbalance is nuetralized.
