Watch: Gourds splat spectacularly at the BP Alaska pumpkin drop

Every year BP Alaska caps off a month of volunteer activity for United Way with a celebratory pumpkin drop, tossing elaborately decorated squash from 50 feet in the air onto their parking lot.

Children from the Early Learning Center, BP's child care center, were on hand to watch the squash fly from a 50-foot-tall lift, landing on plastic laid out in the parking lot.
