WWF 2015 report
World Wild Life Fund reports 75% drop in marine species

Climate change and human interference has taken its devastating toll on ocean life as 49% of marine populations have been wiped out in the past 42 years, according to a new report.

After 4 minutes recording this UFO event happened.

The engines made a lot of noise and the pilot made suddenly a sharp maneuver as the object passed under the wing.

How is it you know you’ve got a talent for something?

Does it mean when you’re a kid, the other kids are going to pick on you and single you out as a nerd?

This girl Nicole Frýbortová clearly has talent. She’s an ‘artistic cyclist’.

This video is a joy to watch. Not exactly a mainstream skill though….

Vester Lee Flanagan shooting 1st person perspective

They keep starting up these wars and tirades against ‘enemies of the United States‘.

Seems they have enough crazies home-grown to satiate the appetite of any anti US proponent.

They can just sit back and watch the nation tear itself apart.

Reporter Vester Lee Flanaga, guns down 2 of his fellow employees after claiming they are white supremacists.

VOD: The world’s craziest fairground rides

After the spate of recent accidents in the past few weeks.

Crazy fairground rides

The case of the American – James Young killed when he tried to recover his mobile phone from the path of an oncoming rollercoaster.

That coming on the heals of the French slingshot ride at Luna Park, known as the reverse bungy which bungied itself into the scaffolding of the supporting scaffolding.

I really am not surprised.

These rides are really so dangerous, in fact crazy.
