National Geographic, eager to get pictures of a tornado's innards, put a camera in a suit of armor and set it in the path of an approaching storm in South Dakota. Not ready for its close-up, the wild winds took to the camera like Sean Penn took to that shutterbug, only more twisted. National Geographic workers found the camera stuck in the mud nearly 450 feet away -- smashed to bits. They're going to try to process the film, but they're not getting their hopes up.
