The Messerschmitt Me 210 was a German heavy fighter and ground-attack aircraft of World War II. Design started before the war, as a replacement for the Bf 110.

On July 8th, 2025, a violent wildfire swept through the hills of L’Estaque, in the northern districts of Marseille, causing severe damage and triggering a major emergency response. This short video presents a powerful visual montage combining: footage captured during the fire, close to the flames, and drone aerial images filmed on July 10th from the Grand Port Maritime of Marseille, showing the full scale of the scorched landscape. The drone views reveal a devastated natural area: charred forests, blackened hills, and a scarred terrain across the Nerthe massif — a stark reminder of the destructive power of wildfire and the increasing vulnerability of Mediterranean ecosystems to climate change.

Le 8 juillet 2025, un violent incendie a ravagé les collines de L’Estaque, dans les quartiers nord de Marseille, causant d’importants dégâts et une mobilisation massive des pompiers. Dans cette vidéo, nous vous proposons un montage court et immersif mêlant : des images tournées pendant l’incendie, au plus près des flammes, et des vues aériennes par drone captées le 10 juillet depuis le Grand Port Maritime de Marseille, révélant l’étendue des zones sinistrées. On y découvre un paysage dévasté par le feu : forêts noircies, collines brûlées à perte de vue, cicatrices profondes sur le relief de la Nerthe… Un témoignage saisissant de la violence des flammes et de la fragilité de notre environnement face au dérèglement climatique.

Lieutenant Colonel John C. Meyer’s P-51 Mustang zips down the runway at Y-29 airfield, the first of twelve from the 352nd Fighter Group heading out on patrol.
