Not really falcon-related, but here is a pretty spectacular video the way they may see things:

It looks like it was sped up about 10x.

That was great.  I grew up about 5 miles from LAX, however at that time it
was a dirt strip called Mines Field.  It had wooden oil derricks which caught fire
occasionally.   We used to get on our bicycles and ride over there to watch the fire.
Life was exciting in those days.

Ahh the good ole days and yes the least amount of excitement was the most exciting. When we were young, our excitement was hearing the freight trains whistle in the distance, running as fast as we could, 1/4 mile, just to see it and count the 50 plus cars that steamer pulled. They were the best of times.

So like what I used to do as well...  Loiter on the way home, then hear the whistle and beat feet back to the crossing  happy

We actually saw Hobo's on the trains hitching rides. The trains went so slow back then, it was so easy to hop on. I could watch trains for hours.

My grandfather worked for the Pennsylvania RR in Arcade in the 50's and he and my grandmother had lifetime passes to go on the train whenever they wanted to.  My biggest thrill was getting all dressed up on a Saturday to ride the train from Arcade to Buffalo to spend the day shopping with my grandma, going to lunch with her and then riding the train back.  Those were such wonderful memories.
