This soldier was strapped in tight inside that military cargo plane when the ramp dropped open to pure black night sky...
You see it all from his first-person POV, hands resting on his camo gear and parachute pack while that massive military vehicle sits locked down right beside him on the pallet, straps and chains holding it steady as the plane interior lights glow and the open ramp shows nothing but darkness rushing by outside.
The whole cargo hold shakes and the view pans around the metal walls and floor tracks as they fly straight into the night.
What a ride, would you be sitting there cool as ice like that or gripping everything white-knuckle the whole time?
Yeah, that just happened. 🇺🇸
This was the 2026 men's elite race finish, where American Nathan Martin (a 36-year-old high school cross-country coach and substitute teacher from Jackson, Michigan) dramatically overtook Kenya's Michael Kimani Kamau in the final strides. Martin surged from more than a mile and a half back, closing the gap with an 800-meter push and winning by exactly 0.01 seconds (his time: 2:11:16.50 or 2:11:17, depending on the official rounding reported). Kamau dove at the line in Century City but fell short and collapsed, requiring medical attention.
It was officially the closest finish in the marathon's 41-year history.
