You wanna know what I like better than local news bloopers on live TV? Local news bloopers on live TV… WITH JETPACKS!!! The clip below is short and excellent: a be-jetpacked man named John is supposed to introduce Fox 5′s “Hello San Diego,” but instead he loses control, bumps into reporter Matt Johnson, and crashes into the water. It’s sublime. *kisses fingers*
By the way, in case you want to see one of these water-powered jetpacks working properly, here’s one flying around set to theme from 2001: A Space Odyssey. But I think I prefer the crash video. No, I definitely prefer the crash video. The world needs more videos of jetpack crashes.

Bam, right into the whale’s vagina.
That was more of a jetpack sinking, but it was still a welcomed sight.
Fox 69…..ahahahahahah
I want to marry this video.
FOX NEWS….FAIRLY UNBALANCED.
And you know it’s true because they say it every five minutes.
“set to theme from 2001: A Space Odyssey.”
You know, that was a pretty famous song for like 100 years before that movie ever came out.
Jolly Jetpack John (overconfidentii exocoetidae) deserves his own cartoon.
Than Diego lookth thlippery.
No joke. I have that same water-powered jetpack in my backyard. And videos like this are EXACTLY why we don’t use it.
Did you say “whale’s vagina”? How big of you.
