    Every time I watch it, I enjoy it more. Why are two people posting the same video? It’s a little confusing, but it’s brilliant none the less.

    This is the original version.

    I have just watched it for the first time - and then about 4 more times. Still amazing.

    That I liked. One's life passing before one's eyes in a moment before The End! But as in video, the end is not the end it is but a beginning. :)
