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.
How to place a pool on a yacht? Quite easy actually.
Look after the jump.
Do you remember the post about the deepest part of the Earth? Now, this infographic picture will show the data from the tallest mountain to the deepest ocean trench. If all schoolbooks were written in infographic pictures, it would be much interesting and easier to study :)
Lollywood has nothing to do with the word LOL.
It refers to the Pakistani film industry based in the city of Lahore having been derived as a play on Hollywood in the same manner as the Bombay Bollywood, South Indian Tollywood and Nigerian Nollywood. Judging by their movie posters, the are very bloodthirsty ;)
I wonder, if there is a high-speed internet?
Anyways I’m sure of one thing, if I got lost in that country, I would certainly use it :)

The driver of the automobile in these photos has a small problem. It seems that the car has hit what some might laughingly call a pothole. Pothole indeed, it took a crane to remove the vehicle. Well, the road upkeep in some countries just isn’t what it used to be.

The car in these photos is all about Disney. I don’t know if the guy who owns it plans to open a toy store with its contents but he certainly could. Every inch of the car is covered with something about Disney. Well, Walt Disney was something of a genius, so somebody should pay tribute to him.
Someone was bored on the beach and decided to dig these giant footsteps… or may be King Kong took a stroll there :)

I’d say that this is exactly what all these Asians have in mind!Discover inside the post the many reasons why they’re staring that way…
Ashanti Eliott-Smith is like any other girls of her age, she goes to school, plays with her friends or her puppy, she likes horses and is a fan of Girls Aloud and JLS… But unfortunately, she has a rare incurable condition (Hutchinson–Gilford progeria syndrome) that makes her age faster than other people, 8 times faster to be more precise. This condition is very rare and only 52 persons in the world suffer progeria, with just one other kid in Britain.
After the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, many funny pictures appeared mocking BP.
They don’t like it of course, but hey, it’s for the reason that people are doing it.
The situation in the Gulf of Mexico is really upsetting but maybe these images will raise your mood a bit :)
You may say it’s impossible but everything is possible with creativity.
Here are detailed instructions on how to do it :)
Everybody played video games in their childhood or continues playing now. Do you remember such wonderful games as DOOM, Mortal Combat, Quake, and the first Warcraft on some Pentium 133MHz and 4-megabyte video card :)
These were cool times.

These pictures depict moments from Demi Moore’s life when she was with her first husband Bruce Willis and then the second one: Ashton Kutcher.
Very interesting set of pictures, especially the old ones.
I love the first one. It seems here that they are taken on photos just after the Fifth Element and G.I. Jane were shot :)

These photos of the State signs remind us of what America is all about; A melting pot. Some have the State mottos, some have their Governor’s names, while others have safe driving warnings. All of them are reminders of that the people who live in the US are from all walks of life.
Another accessory for iPhone that become more and more popular.
They are called phoneballs and are designed to protect your iPhone from everyday life scratches and cuts. These are soft silicone cases with some testicles hanging in the bottom, protecting your data port. Plus, the creators say you can tug them on and "play with 'em" xDD
It would appear from the photos in this post that even the President of the US can’t keep one graduating high school student from Michigan from nodding off. The president’s primary message that day was to urge the students to work hard. Apparently, one student wasn’t interested.
