Skip the first minute. a bus spends a couple seconds airborne after running head on into a building, then lands on a car



The entire action is from minute 1:05 to 1:14

What the hell? Were both car and bus racing to collide with the building? How do two vehicles independently crash straight into a building at the same time?

Even better, someone did a 4 camera compilation! Thanks Alte Kisten!

whats left of a B24 near Fairbanks


Surprisingly, it was running a 4 engine failure test in order to repeat a similar problem that caused another B24 to crash... and huh.... whadya know, the test went so well and duplicated the problem so exactly, that the exact some result occured. In recent years, a forest fire destroyed what was left of the plane

arrogant asshole cop arrests a firefighter who was providing a traffic protection for ambulance crew helping rollover victims


The LA Times has a good recap of the issue: http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-firefigher-chp-claim-20140325,0,1997161.story#axzz2x0DDSSbM

Engineer Jacob Gregoire was handcuffed and placed in the rear seat of a CHP cruiser after he refused to move his fire truck, which was parked in the center divider of Interstate 805 on the night of Feb. 4. The truck was partially blocking the lane closest to the divider to protect ambulance crews working to aid two people injured when a Mustang hit a cement barrier and rolled over, according to Chula Vista Fire Department officials.

The claim against the CHP filed by Gregoire alleges that the arrest was illegal and obstructed Gregoire and other emergency responders from caring for the accident victims. It accuses the arresting CHP officer, Sergio Flores, of arrogance, bullying and ill will.

When Flores was ordered to release Gregoire, he said, “This is not over yet. You are not being arrested, but I am not done with you. You’re going to have to answer for your actions,” according to the claim.

“This is all about ego of the CHP officer. It has nothing to do with authority at the scene,” said Dan Gilleon, Gregoire’s attorney. “This is not an isolated incident. The same office has done this in the past and done this since, so this is not a problem they are trying to fix. They are trying to sweep this under the rug.”

Be more careful out there my friends, the life you save... could be your own whether you are in a car or on a bike

George reposted this on his Facebook, and in the comments and analyzation, it was pointed out that the car was facing the sun (see the long shadows) and that the car used it's turn signal (at the 6 seconds point in the video when looking at the back of the car) but it's obvious that the turn signal can't be seen as it is on the far side of the car from the bikers point of view, and looks like it doesn't have a yellow lens in front, or doesn't work in front.

sunk just shy of arriving where the Allied Forces needed her cargo of bikes, trucks, and trains, the SS Thistlegorm is a diving wonder in the Red Sea

the Lonesome Polecat, was raised from a Swiss lake in 1952, put on display, and scraped in the 1970's because it hindered a building development


The plane sank largely intact to the bottom of the lake, where it stayed until 1952, when it was raised, restored and exhibited around the country. In 1966, it travelled to St Gallen, where a businessman planned to build a “bomber theme park”.

 This never materialised, so in 1970 the plane went on display in St Moritz. But after a few years it was blocking a building development; since no buyer could be found, it was turned into scrap metal despite being of historical value.
