USSR flag coming down for the last time in Red Square December 31, 1992.

The place I worked was a big video production house and I was the head of graphics. My boss had been traveling to the USSR prior to the collapse. I did modern American style 3D flying logos for the Russian TV networks that replaced the 1950's style art cards.

A few months later, the head of all Russian TV came by and shook my hand and thanked me. Guess it was a hit symbolic of changes to come.

Saw a dude slip off the dock as a boat he was about to jump on with twin outboards was backing out of a slip.

His intestines were floating on the top of the water as he was screaming.

Also saw two people hit the beach because their parachutes didn’t open while sky diving.
