Saving a Sinking Ship: The Royal Navy’s Damage Repair Instructional Unit
(1) | 10/09/2015 | Translate: How do you train sailors to save a sinking ship? Sure, you can teach them the theory, but there’s no replacement for having to hammer softwood wedges into deck and bulkhead splits that are spraying cold, high-pressure water in your face.
At HMS Excellent in Portsmouth sits Hazard, a Royal Navy Damage Repair Instructional Unit (DRIU). Every Navy recruit who’s going out to sea will have to go through something like this — and on a much harder level than we did! But then, they’ll have had months of training and teamwork beforehand…
Thunderf00t explains the problems of Hendo Hoverboards Is it a scam? well kinda. For certain when they claim to be the first 'real' hoverboard, this is BS. Others have made 'hoverboards' previously using either magnetic or aerodynamic levitation. Looks like their hoverboard works on magnets rotating over a conducting, but non-ferromatnetic surface. Its basically the same technology as a maglev train. The only difference is they've kinda hybridized it with quadcopter technology. That I've gotta admit is a clever idea. In practice however its almost worthless as it just cannot supply the power to lift ratio to do anything useful. Further the engines only seem to be able to lift their own weight plus 50 % extra. Thats just impractical for any sensible application. They then go on to suggest they will levitate houses with this, to save them from earthquakes, floods and rising sea levels. This is just so stupid its amazing that noone in the mainstream press seems to have picked up on how crazy an idea this is.- Car vs train on a level crossing

- Rescuing a Bumble Bee Occurred on March 22, 2018 / Bishops Stortford, Hertfordshire, England I was riding a horse for my Friend Sandie. When we had finished we noticed her chap Leaf that helps her with the garden holding a bumble bee. Sandie went and got some warm sugary water and fed it. Leaf then went to put the bee under some shelter. It was a cold wet blustery day although the sun had been out. The bees were coming out but they had no energy. Or warmth from the sun . So it was lovely to be able to help one .

- How to call a wild swan with traditional Swedish singing Hi there! My name is Åsa Larsson. I want to tell you the story of how this video was recorded , since I get a lot of questions on it :)
We were visiting my mother in laws little cabin by the sea. Its' located in Gästrikland, not so far from Söderhamn. My husband Pellegrosso, who is a photographer, recently bought a new camera and wanted to compare the sound quality from his phone and camera. So he asked me if I could "kula" over the water so he could record it. This way of singing is called kulning, it's an old nordic tradition. It was used by women to call in the cattle and to communicate over big distances in the forest and mountains. Cows and cats use to react by being curios when I call but I have never seen a swan react before.
- Giant Aquarium Cracks in Restaurant Occurred on December 25, 2017 / Houston, Texas, USA "On Christmas Day, I picked up my mom from her memory care to take her out to Vietopia for dinner. I was about to give the hostess my name when all of a sudden we heard a loud noise and screams. It sounded like something had fallen and when I looked that way, I saw water pouring out of the large aquarium in a large stream. People at three tables had to move after getting wet. The staff took immediate action and placed large garbage cans on the floor to collect the water. Eventually the water drained enough to allow one of the staff to climb into the tank to work on saving the fish with a net."
