These submarine caves, also called vertical caves, located in the Bahamas are amazingly beautiful.
Too bad they are so dangerous to explore, because they would make perfect diving spots.
I would have loved to dive in these caves but I guess I’ll have to leave it to professional divers…
Princess Juliana International Airport is located on the island of St. Maarten shared by two nations: the French and the Dutch. This airport is famous all over the world because it is too close to the Maho Beach. People who go there always see airplanes that fly just above their heads when entering the airport.
This airport is unique. Its runway is very short, only about 2,130 meters. This is what forces incoming airplanes to low over the beach, and this is what attracts plane spotters from all over the world. They can easily shoot spectacular images of incoming airplanes and get adrenaline while an aircraft is landing under manual flight control, because the airport doesn’t have a system of automatic landing.
This private bench is alittle bit scary and it can hurt you. The idea is simple: if you want to sit on it, you need to pay. It only costs 0,50 EUR. I don’t know for how much time though.
This Private Bench was invented and designed by Berlin artist Fabian Brunsing.
You’ll see some of the pictures inside the post and check out the video for details.
Have you ever seen deadly caterpillars? They do exist in South America. Lonomia obliqua is one of the world’s most dangerous caterpillars. It is responsible for several deaths each year.
Lonomia enjoys hiding on the trees’ bark. If you lean against a tree in Brazil or other South American country where Lonomia lives, you might be poisoned by these caterpillars.
Their poison can cause serious bleeding, hemolysis and even death.
You can see the consequences of meeting with Lonomia inside this post.
This bridge not only looks pretty dangerous, moreover, there are trains that still ride there...

Here are the ten deadliest snakes from around the world.
If you meet one of them, you know what you need to do ;)
Coral Snake, North America
This is Courchevel Airport, a French airport that serves Courchevel, a ski area. Its elevation is at 6588ft. The airport is known for its a very short runway of only 1722ft with gradient of 18.5 %. There is no go-around procedure in this airport.
The airport is considered dangerous, having a difficult approach, an upslope runway and a hill.
Don’t forget to watch the videos with taking off and landing, very impressive.
While all these mechanical amusements seem to work, they don’t give much of a safety feeling and look quite dangerous, especially those little roller coasters. I would think twice before taking a ride there. Two words: poor children.
The work in a quarry is very dangerous. Many accidents and other bad things can happen here.
Before Mayor Guiliani turned Times Square into a family friendly location it was known for violence, drugs and porn. It was a very dangerous place but at the same time exciting. These photos remind us of what it was like back in those days.
As these amazing wildlife photos show, it is very difficult to get a great shot of an animal. The photographer has to hide from animals in special hidden places which he builds from natural materials as tree branches, leaves and grass. N. Sladkov, who is also a naturalist writer, is just such an invisible photographer.
Every country has such highways and roads that are known throughout the world and appear in movies or film series. Some of them are very exciting to ride; others are way too scary and even dangerous. Inside this post you will find the most wonderful mountain passes and amazing interchanges.

Some people have some strange pets and do some even stranger things with them. In these photos, the people are walking some of the strangest pets ever as if they were their dogs. Some of these animals are even dangerous. I wonder what the neighbors think of that.
The 'Tough Guy' competition is held annually in Perton, Staffordshire in which thousands of men participate and prove their strength. We showed pictures of how was going the ‘Tough Guy Race’ last year and here are some fresh pics that show you that it is not easy to get on this race and it was even tougher this time. Hold your breath and have a look.
It seems that as the world economy turns sour, the workers who do have jobs are working even harder. These photos depict the worker doing just that. Some of the jobs seem unbelievable to many of us. Some are more dangerous, others are routine and even boring. Nevertheless, the human worker is truly an amazing being that exemplifies the old adage that when the going gets tough, the tough get going.
Technicians Eric Norman, left, and Dave Norman assemble a General Electric Co. GP7200 jet engine for a Boeing 777 at the company's Aviation Assembly & Test facility in Research Triangle Park in Durham, North Carolina, on Friday, Jan. 22, 2010.
Two opposite and powerful elements that are dangerous and helpful at the same time.
Let’s see the pictures.
They don’t have any protection material and they don’t even seem to be afraid of the height…
I don’t know what they’re trying to do but I would not take that risk!
It’s dangerous but the dog probably enjoys it…
Some residents of a Chinese town should cross such a dangerous bridge everyday.
And it is not only its horrible condition, it is the very construction of the bridge that is really weird.
It’s in China – State road 319.
Very impressive!
Here is what happened in a Chinese street. It was quick and the girl could do nothing…
Cueva de los Cristales (Cave of the Crystals) is a cave of the Naica Mine in Chihuahua, Mexico. The chamber contains giant selenite crystals, some of the largest natural crystals ever found. The cave's largest crystal is 11 m (36 ft) in length, 4 m (13 ft) in diameter and 55 tons in weight. The cave is about 30 m (98 ft) in length, 10 m (33 ft) in width and almost 300 meters (900 feet) below the surface of the Earth. It is extremely hot in the cave with air temperatures reaching up to 43 °C (109 °F) with 90 to 100 percent humidity. The hot temperature is due to the proximity of a magma chamber.
The cave is relatively unexplored because humans can only survive for approximately ten minutes without proper protection and only 45 with special equipment. Add to that the risk of falling into deep pits, ending impaled on a sharp crystal…
Take a look at one of the most extreme places on the planet.
That is how the crowd is entertained during the opening of a new shopping center in China.
Loaded truck’s running over a man.
It is not the first time for him, so everything turned out well.

This is the angriest cat I’ve ever seen for the last years.
Oh boy, how cute his facial expression is on the last pic.
El Caminito del Rey which means the King's little pathway is a walkway now fallen into disrepair, pinned along the steep walls of a narrow gorge in El Chorro, Spain. The name is often shortened to Camino del Rey.
The walkway has now gone many years without maintenance, and is in a highly deteriorated and dangerous state. It is one meter (3 feet and 3 inches) in width, and is over 300 meters (984 feet) above the river. Nearly all of the path has no handrail.
So, how do you like to go there!
Sports – can be dangerous!
