"WASHINGTON - Eager to get a unique photo inside a tornado, National
Geographic constructed an armored device with cameras to be placed in the
path of a storm.
The cameras were deployed for the first time on Tuesday near Manchester,
S.D., and like many other items that have confronted twisters were blown
away within seconds when a tornado hit.
The remains were found stuck in mud on Wednesday, more than 430 feet away.
All the device's glass ports were smashed and the cameras inside were
ruined, National Geographic said.
The film was being sent back for processing just in case, but officials
said they doubted it captured an image.
