                the guy in the first clip must have been confused or maybe i don't understand french anymore. at the beggining of the clip he says 'trente cent metre plus quarte-vignt cent metre' ... which translates to thirty hundred meters plus eighty hundred meters. *TWITCH!*

                or he could have been saying centimetres which would total about 1.1meters...

                the news guy in the second clip says it's 120 meters which makes a lot more sense.

                the french article sitflyer provided says it's between 100m to 200m and the an exit velocity of 200km/h.

                this one is definitly worth 5 *twitch!*s out of 5.

                    Trente cinq plus quatre-vingts cinq -> thirty five plus eighty five = 120.

                          articule quand tu jappe - articulate when you "jappe"
                          I assume jappe means speak, or something similar?

                            jappe = aboie (aprox)

                            don't ask me, it's quebec slang (and very insulting).

                            basicly the saying mean 'articulate while you bark'
