POPSVortex Ring Destroys Shed 200 mph blast of air. Granted the brick was just a free standing wall. I would like to see what it does to a house. Probably very little. See the site to get instructions on how to build your own. BTW, when I was a child two adults were killed across the street from my house when a tractor tire they were filling with air exploded, so air can kill if pressured enough.

But to many, the attempt by the leader of the Washington, D.C.-based Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) to suggest a link between Washington Mutual’s commitment to opening its ranks to Latinos and its demise spoke volumes about the nature of CIS and its prolific research.

POPSSmoke & Mirrors. American Justice (oxymoron?) "In the case of al-Qahtani, Time magazine published the secret log of his 49 days of 20-hour-per-day interrogation. The log described how the prisoner was forcibly administered intravenous fluids and drugs and forcibly given enemas, in order to keep his body functioning well enough for the interrogations to go on. The log, titled Secret Orcon Interrogation Log Detainee 063 (pdf), offered a daily, detailed view of the interrogation techniques used to get confessions from him from November 2002 to January 2003.
