Russian Paralyzed Highway...!!!

The Russian federal highway runs from Moscow to the city of Yakutsk, the capital of the Sakha Republic. The city is located 4 degrees below the Arctic Circle and is reputed to be one of the coldest cities on Earth, with January temperatures averaging -40.9 degrees Celsius. Yakutsk City is the biggest city built on continuous permafrost. This region is also reputed for its unimaginable wealth in diamonds and gold, oil and gas. In fact, Sakha is the world’s second largest producer and exporter of diamonds. Yakutsk sits on the basin of the Lena River.

Although it is a vital highway, the road doesn’t have an asphalt surface. Every time it rains, the road is paralyzed. These shots were taken approximately a few days before some 600 vehicles were stuck here. Hunger followed, and vehicles ran out of fuel. A woman even gave birth to a child while stuck on a public bus. Construction teams were afraid to appear on site because people had been breaking the locks of their own vehicles in search of food and warm clothing.

Emma Maersk - A Largest Cargo Ship in the World...

World's Largest Cargo Ship Get a load of this ship! 15,000 containers and a 207' beam! And look at the crew size (13) for a ship longer than US aircraft carriers, which have complements of 5,000 men and officers. Think it's big enough? Notice that 207' beam means it was NOT designed for the Panama or Suez canal . It is strictly transpacific. Check out the "cruise speed". 31 mph means the goods arrive four days before the typical container ship traveling at 18 to 20 mph on a China-to-California run. So this behemoth is hugely competitive when carrying perishable goods. This ship was built in three, perhaps as many as five sections. The sections floated together and then welded. It is named Emma Maersk. The command bridge is higher than a ten story building and has eleven rigs that can operate simultaneously.

Is it Love or Stupidity...!!!

It's not the best way to resolve an argument: Hang your lover out the window until the police take you away.

But that appears to be just what this man tried.

The unidentified man was caught by a passing photographer forcing a woman, said to be his girlfriend, out a third-storey window in the Chinese city of Kunming today.

Lovers' spat?: The man hangs the woman upside down from the window in Kunming, China

Terror is clear on the woman's face as the man appears to be on the verge of climbing out the window with her and sending them both to their deaths

The enraged man kept the woman pinned to the windowsill and in fear for her life for more than two hours.

Horrified crowds gathered before the building as police frantically tried to talk him down.

The man finally pulls the woman inside - but holds a knife to her neck

They finally succeeded - but he took the woman with him as a hostage, holding a knife to her neck.Her terror can plainly be seen on her face.

Finally specialist hostage negotiators were able to persuade the man to give himself up. He was swiftly taken away by police.

It is not yet known what happened to the woman - or, more tantalisingly, what they could have been arguing about that drove him to such extremes.

Amazing Hospital Restaurant, Have a Delicious Surgical Diner

“A unique, weird restaurant has opened in Riga, Latvia named "Hospitalis". It is a must-see place if you like gore things. The restaurant looks like a medicine cabinet, while you are treated as a patient and taken good care by the long-legged waitresses in nurses uniforms.

There is a cool and bizarre themed restaurant, accented with all things medical. Once you arrive at Hospitalis, patrons check in as patients, and are served by nurses, as doctors prepare the dishes. Doctors will also prepare your drinks in beakers and test tubes.


The food is served in flasks and operating-room’s dishes and isn’t that cheap (7 and more lats per meal), but this is a bizarre experience that is worth breaking the bank. Besides, the place is owned by local doctors, but unfortunately, the president of Latvia, who is also a doctor, declined his appearance at the opening once he realized how weird this place actually is.
