Car Accidents in Google Street View

Last week Google updated their Street View coverage to include Chicago, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Pittsburgh, Portland and Tucson – bringing the total number of Street View cities up to 15.

So far the most dramatic discovery in these new images has been made in Arizona and Phoenix where the Google Street View Van come across some little serious car accidents involving few prime cars.

Dramatically, the speed of the impact has actually flipped the Range Rover right over onto its roof. Fortunately however it doesn’t look like there were any serious injuries on this occasion, as by the time the Google Street View Van approaches a policeman is already on scene, but there doesn’t appear to be an ambulance around anywhere.

Guinness Rishi getting tattoos of all national flags on his body

The 67-year-old Guinness Rishi wants to enter the Guinness Book of World Records by tattooing the flags of all the countries in the world on his body. He is planning to cover himself in 220 different banners in his quest to become a walking global flag-pole.

Already sporting six tattoos, (Union Jack, Indian, USA, Cyprus, Indian Congress Party, Canada) on his face, Guinness, who changed his name in honor of the famous record book, believes that he will be finished in three years.

He plans to cover his head and face with the most important one-inch flags before inking from his neck down in alphabetical order.


"I am tattooing my entire body including my private parts, but I am not sure which flag I will be sticking there. In the first phase, I believe that I can put 60 tattoos on head and then we will start working on my body. People consider me an extraordinary person, not an ordinary person," he said.

An obsessive record breaker, Guinness already holds four certified world bests and feels that this will be a crowning glory for India.

Over the course of three years, Guinness’ tattoos will set him back more than $20 000, which he believes is a small price to pay for his eventual achievement.

Guinness also built the tallest sugar cube tower in the world, which stood at 64 inches.

Baby Throwing - A Horrible Ritual in India

These horrible pictures show terrified toddlers being thrown from a roof before plummeting 15metres onto a bed sheet below. The youngsters, who appear to be aged around two, can be heard screaming as they are dangled in the air before being dropped.

This particular ritual took place in the village of Harangal, Parbhani, in western India's Maharashtra.

Then, arms and legs splayed out, the screaming baby is dropped

Landing safely on the sheet below

Hundreds of people turned out for the annual event, which is thought to have been followed by Hindus and Muslims for nearly 700 years in the belief the fall ensures good health and prosperity for their families. After the child lands and bounces on the bed sheet, held taught by a group of around 14 men, he or she is then quickly passed through the crowd to their mothers.

Another ritual was taking place on the same day in Sholapur, about 280 miles south of Mumbai.

It led to rights activist lashing out at officials who allowed the hundreds of infants to be dropped from the roof of the Baba Umer Durga mosque.

Local officials told television news stations Friday that there had been no reports of injuries. With high child mortality rates, especially in India's rural areas, many people resort to rituals which they believe can ensure their children's health.

This shows the complete failure of the local administration to prevent this practice and to create awareness about children's health,' said Ranjana Kumari, a civil rights activist in New Delhi.

'It is also a reflection of the lack of access to health services, that forces people to behave in this irrational manner'.

India's National Commission for Protection of Child's Rights issued a notice Thursday to the local administration in Sholapur and has begun investigations into the practice.

World's Longest Wedding Dress - Over 2km..!!

A Chinese bride hopes to enter the record books after getting married in an astonishing 1.4 mile-long wedding dress. It took guests more than three hours to unroll Lin Rong's gown, complete with 9,999 silk red roses.

And the groom, Zhao Peng, was just as excited about his bride making history, as he was about the nuptials.

'Both the length of the dress and the number silk roses pinned on the wedding dress can make history,' the 28-year-old railway worker from northeast Jilin province said. Mr Zhao was inspired after seeing a story on the previous record holder in Romania, where the dress measured just over 0.9 miles. He has sent an application to Guinness World Records including a video of his wedding to his 25-year-old school teacher sweetheart.

'I do not want a cliche wedding parade or banquet,' Mr Zhao said

But even so, his family was initially unimpressed at the far from frugal 40,000-yuan (£3,508) price tag.'It is a waste of money in my opinion,' his mother said. 'Though I understand that he wants to show his love on the big day.'

Ms Rong laughed and cried at the romantic gesture.

Mr Zhao bought the materials and had relatives help make the wedding dress, which took three months to finish.
