This is pretty incredible. GoPro's size, durability, cost and video quality allow nearly anyone to offer a glimpse of our world from places and vantage points that would have hardly seemed possible a few years ago.
The GoPro actually survived, to the degree that it was still taking pics when they excavated it, and we saw the excavation from the camera's POV. The HOUSING was destroyed, but it was still reasonably functional. TUFF!
