001They usually circle around this way. All righty, folks. So, if you are watching, we are live right now from Glen Cove Elementary School where the 2026 Glen Cove egg drop is going to take place uh when the helicopter gets here. They'll be on their way hopefully anytime now. We'll be watching out for them coming into the skies right over top of Glen Cove. This is the third egg drop, in fact. We think we hear the sounds of a helicopter. I do hear a helicopter coming into the skies over Glen Cove right now. There it is. We see it. It's coming around. Hold on. We'll go around this way. There it is. Looks like he's coming in making a quick circle. We're catching as it comes around again. All right, here he comes. Getting into position.
002All right, he's hovering. Off they come. You can see them falling. And that's it, folks. They're on their way. Okay, the eggs have been dropped. So, now Mr. Goker and the crew are going to go collect them. Stand by. We will be right back with the opening of the eggs and we'll see who survived. Don't go anywhere. >> Who's in a baggy? So, we are still opening Miss Miss Class. It didn't survive. No. Looks like we're moving on to third grade. Second grade, Miss Harris. Miss Harrison. Okay.

If you look, Miss Mr. Donahue has a box, plastic baggy, writing paper, and a lot of string. Mr. Donahue, we're trying to open it carefully. Oh, Mr. Donahue. Mr. Donahue, I know that the question was is how many feet of string did you use for your ball for your your egg device? You're probably shouting that answer, but we are just curious for after we get everything done here. The materials for he had a box, writing paper, plastic baggy, and a lot of string. Well, we are out of the purple and into the pink, which is a good sign. Mr. Donahue,
004you are not lying that there is a lot of string for this one. I'm getting closer. I'm getting closer. All right, we have found the end of the string. Oh, Mr. Donahue, we have string on the inside as well. >> [laughter] >> Dr. Schultz, how much do you think weight plays into this factor? Yes. Yep. Correct. I think one thing that our our students [music] forget sometimes is the external factor of the rotor wash coming down on So, there's an extra force that comes down on it. And they have to they have to give it a little bit of force to get it out away from the helicopter. So, it feels wet. Uh-oh. So, it's a great effort. Oh, Mr. Donahue. We do do have wet string in a crack. Next. >> [laughter] >> That's
005all right. All right, Officer Branch. You have the pleasure of the wet Did this one have water in it? This one did have water in it, yes. Two baggies of water.
