the cubs, of course, had not won a series in 108 years and these are some images from digital globe. they're a colorado-based company that works with high resolution satellite imagery and data analytics. on a list of major celebrations the cubs event surpassed the 3.5 million people at rod stewart's 1994 rio concert, also on par with 1995 world news day which, of course, was here in colorado. 5million people came out to was the seventh largest gathering of people in history. >> can you believe it? >> with no problems. that's the best part. it was just happy. >> we love that. that is an awesome distraction, very cool. drones, moving on now, are no longer just a cool new tech toy that sells out during the holidays. racing them has become a sport. next summer eight drone pilots will compete in london to be crowned best in the world in

the event wilco in side with the -- will coincide with the annual tech week. the drones can hit speeds in excess of 90 miles an hour but are built all the same. all pilots will be doing the flying, not a preprogrammed gps system. >> these drones are going 90 plus miles an hour weaving through buildings racing in places you could never race any other craft. it's got all the speed and thrills and passes and crashes of automotive sport but you're layering in flight and all the technology associated with the drones. >> oh, well, doesn't that sound fancy? the drone racing league says motor sports have struggled to attract younger fans in the united states. of course, they think drone racing will change that. in september espn reached an agreement to broadcast the drone racing league season. we had to know this was coming. >> you want to know my concern, watching this event in the crowd and having these 90 miles

steve spangler is here and you know what? everybody would like an escape to the beach especially right now when we're about to get through this election. >> this is a material people have played with before, this motion kind of sand. they call it kinetic. see how it moves.

playing with it. kind of expensive and worth it because it's the best stuff. i have a variation you can do at home that's pretty cool. watch what happens. here is the recipe. you'll go to the hobby store and just find fine sign. say that 1,000 times. here's your fine sand about, a cup of fine sand. bingo, got it. to that believe it or not the secret is cornstarch. >> isn't it always? >> so here is your i'm going to put in with this batch about a tablespoon. so there's our tablespoon of cornstarch. now i'm going to mix this around so i can kind of get that incorporated into it. you'll see in some batches that we have here in a second that you can vary the amount of cornstarch. that's kind of a cool thing. >> changes it. >> add to that soap. here is about a tablespoon of dish soap. >> you're making what kim is playing with?

that one. so this gets mixed around. that's kind of a mess. then you've just got to be careful about how much water you add. so that's what makes this kind of an experiment. the secret with the cornstarch is a lot of people made that stuff where you mix cornstarch and water and it becomes a solid and liquid at the same time. when we add just a little bit, kim, look at the pink stuff right next to you. isn't that fun? here it is. too. look at this batch here. if it's a little too watery, just let it sit out for a second, but that's not a bad batch. get your hands in these two. you can see the difference. that's a little more coarse. you can pack it as well. >> this is fine, fine. >> if we pack it up like this, watch this. you can back it down and build those little -- that's what's cool. excuse the reach. now we can pack it and try to sculpt with it.

there's your motion sand. as soon as you touch it here it, just crumbles and there is your kind of motion sand. the secret of the cornstarch, the seeds of the cornstarch sit together and there's a little water there. so they'll squeeze together like when you put your feet in the sand at the beach and it kind of washes away. so you get that solid liquid at the same time. this here i just added a lot more cornstarch. i really like that one because you can form a snowball. >> not when you take your hands off. >> look at this one. when you squeeze through your hands, this heck becomes like a play -- this almost becomes like a play-doh. we used about a cup of fine sand, a tablespoon of cornstarch, a tablespoon of that dish soap and a little water, just a little bit there. i'll have to let this one dry out. see how this is a little too

we are going to put all this information on facebook. we'll put it up on 9news.com. it's a nice like diy hack. >> kids everywhere are making this in their living room. >> seriously. when thanksgiving is coming up, the kids are bored and you're trying to cook. make them a bunch of sand. >> i think we'll have to do the walking on water thing. so i better bring in the 100 pounds of cornstarch and the garden hose and this fun. there's nothing like teaching a kid to mess up the house. we put it all there. >> and on facebook as well. >> check it out, everybody, on
