quote [ It’s an incredible story. But did it actually happen?
In 1996 in Niagara, a tornado tore through a drive-in theater, ripping apart the movie screen—just as it played the scene in Twister in which a tornado demolishes a drive-in movie theater. “It seemed like the screen was coming alive,” remembers one witness. Another: “We’re watching Twister, and my god, we had a twister!” It’s an incredible story, as its many "witnesses" will readily attest. But did it actually happen? Jay Cheel’s short documentary Twisted investigates this Canadian urban legend, revealing the fallibility of memory, the subjectivity of truth, and the enduring power of human storytelling. ] I've noticed that when talking about Great Adventures we had together years ago, my friends' version of events varies greatly from the true facts (my version). Also, my brothers seem to have some mistaken ideas about our childhood.
Obviously, the past is being altered. I blame it on time travelers. #is this the real thing?
