Two still photographers. Two kits full of video-capable gear. Stuck overnight in the DFW airport. Unsupervised.

Hijinks ensue...

These guys are my new heroes! They should have left some cash for the beer And the keyboard bit was a bit over the top (didn't look like it got damaged though) but having recently been in an airport at 4am...I totally get the intent. Bad thing is I had my 7D and a few lenses and could have done a video myself! Arrrrgh!

There has been a good deal of discussion about whether this video was genuine, given the airport was so vacant.
Having spent my adult life working at an international airport, I can certainly vouch for them being that empty in the middle of the night. I question some of the shots being done without having additonal help. Apparently my skepticism was shared by many others; Japopnik and Gizmodo are both running stories about having contacted the two and verifying their story of being alone. It appears legit..

I think we've all seen that vacuum guy late at night...
