Chinese tower demolition springs an explosive surprise | firefighting Pedestrians in a southern Chinese city had little warning when a 12-floor building was suddenly demolished. Video shows the panicked reaction of people in the city of Changzhou when the 34-year-old Zhonglian building was blown up by a demolition crew last Tuesday. Footage captured screams and the scenes of people fleeing as the 55-metre structure came crashing down beside a busy street in the middle of the afternoon. Massive clouds of dust are shown spreading from the demolition site into nearby streets. The building was torn down to make way for a planned rail line, reports local news agency Sina. A spokesman for Changzhou city authority said officials ensured the building was empty and traffic in the area was halted but video showed many pedestrians apparently unaware of its destruction. "We hired the most powerful workers in the province to ensure that the last pillar of the building was collapsed," the spokesman said.

How a Million Pound 747-8 Tests It’s Brakes "Watch this amazing video of what happens when Boeing wants to make sure the carbon ceramic brakes on its new Boeing 747-8 work under the worst possible conditions. Specifically, Boeing has to simulate the worst possible conditions: a rejected take-off with no reverse thrusters on worn-out brakes. The result? Red-hot 2,552 degree brakes. Yes! Boeing's 747-8 is the latest and most economical version of company's popular jumbo jet. As part of the testing procedure they have to put a maximum load on the landing gear to make sure it'll hold up in an emergency. To simulate the worst case scenario, the aircraft is fully fueled to the maximum weight (about 975K pounds), the brakes are worn down 100%, and a pilot is told to accelerate to a takeoff speed of 200 mph and then slam on the completely toasted brakes as if it were part of an aborted takeoff. Normally, the pilot would try to use reverse thrust to stop the plane and fire crews would be on hand within three minutes to start putting out the fire. In this experiment they assume the thrusters don't work and the fire crews are a full five minutes away. The result? It stopped about 700 feet short of the estimated length as the brakes glowed under the 1,400C (2,552F) heat."

Man Attempts Murder Pushing His Girlfriend Down A Manhole Incredible footage reveals the moment a woman in Haiku City, China, was grabbed by her boyfriend and stuffed down a manhole - umbrella and all - where she remained stuck for 60 hours until her cries for help alerted passers-by. Rescued wearing only her underwear, the woman was swollen and pale from her prolonged soaking and exhausted from spending nearly three days struggling to keep from drowning down the 10-foot hole. Plucked from the her watery tomb by pedestrians who heard her desperate screams for help, the woman had constructed a 'cloth ladder' to reach the manhole lid over the previous two days- only to find she was not strong enough to lift it up.
