In this video I test what happens when you drop an ant off a building. Will it survive? I talk about terminal velocity and impact and why insects seem to be able to survive drops from heights much higher than their own height. This video answers a question that I and many have had for quite some time. What happens when you drop an ant off the empire state building?
