This kid had more luck
One driver’s dashcam caught an accident that occurred at an electric plant in Saint-Petersburg, Russia. I can’t imagine what these drivers thought was happening…
I heard you like explosions, so here is a video of a mountain blowing up...
These photos capture incredible moments of a 17-storey concrete building being blown to pieces in Scotland. Glencairn Tower block that opened in 1964 needed about 55kg of explosives to be reduced to 12,000 tons of rubble. Inside this post, you can watch spectacular video of the building crashing to the ground.
After the devastating earthquake and tsunami, which followed afterwards, a huge blast was observed at the Fukushima-Daiichi atomic power plant that caused the radiation leak.
After the earthquake hit Japan, in several of the reactors at the two Fukushima plants the cooling systems failed and “without cooling, the temperature in the reactor core builds, with the risk that it could melt through its container into the building housing the system.” It also causes pressure in the containers where the reactor is situated.
The Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan declared that the amount of radiation released was "tiny." We sure hope so… but could this be another Chernobyl??
After the jump, you’ll also see the most recent photos of the consequences of the earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan on Friday.
This unmanned Indian Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) rocket explosion took place in India just minutes after takeoff. There seems to be a difference of opinion as to the cause. One Indian official thinks the first stage worked fine and another thinks it didn't. The rocket was carrying a GSAT-5P communications and weather satellite. The rocket was launched from the Sriharikota Space Center. It soared into the sky with a thick orange flame making a deep roar and then exploded and disintegrated.
This picture is maybe one of the most known on the internet. It shows a former firefighter Paul Dadge helping injured London subway passenger Davinia Turrell away from the subway station where the explosion of a suicide bomber took place on July 7th, 2005.
The left side of her face was badly injured by the "ball of fire" created from the blast.
Doctors did what hey could, and I must say, they did an excellent job.
When we see her pictures five years after the explosion, it is hard to believe that her face was that damaged.

It took over one thousand pounds of explosive to put this 450 feet tall and 345 wide monster down.
The demolition was considered potentially dangerous so people or the media weren’t allowed to approach the scene.
It took place on May 24 in South Carolina at the Savannah River Site.

If you watch the news from time to time, then you know that an oil drilling platform has just recently exploded 50 miles off the Louisiana coasts.
126 workers were aboard the Deepwater Horizon rig when it blew up. 100 workers made it to the supply boats but 11 are still missing, seventeen were injured, four of them critically.
They still don’t know for sure what is at the source of the incident, the investigation is still going on…
Those pictures are very impressive, look at the size of the flames and how big the smoke cloud is! A lot of work for the fireboats and coast guards and a lot of pain and sadness for the families directly concerned by the accident…

This is the real situation. A girl left her mobile charging in a car cigarette lighter.
When she came back to her car, not a very pleasant surprise was waiting for her.
