A camera tumbled so far down a mountain at the Winter Olympics and fans felt awful about it

The Winter Olympics are underway in Beijing, even though the Opening Ceremonies haven’t been held yet, and we’ve already seen something that we’ve never seen before at the Games – a camera tumbling really far down a mountain during a skiing event.

I know, I know. I didn’t expect to be writing about this, either, but here we are. Life is strange like that.

So here’s what I can report on what happened: Somebody dropped a very nice camera (looks like a pricey Sony model) and this thing would not be stopped.

Just look at how far this darned thing traveled through the snow.

Ugh. That poor photographer.

Twitter had reactions.
