10 Accidental Inventions You Can't Imagine Your Life Without

This video explains about the Top 10 Accidental Inventions You Can't Imagine Your Life Without.

Inventing something that doesn't exist before, is a complex process. It takes months and sometimes years of research for a single scientist or a group of scientists to implement some innovative idea. The process may not be smooth and after multiple failures, a vast majority of these attempts would be scrapped. Only few of those attempts would be fruitful and will let the world benefit from those inventions. But some lucky people didn't go through that complicated process and invented beneficial items just by accident.

Accidents that Lead to Discoveries and Inventions | Aarish Manzoor

Top 3 Accidentally Inventions

Everything Doesn't go Planned ever time. Sometimes the mistakes we make lead us to a new way without whom the life would not have been such Easier. We should all be grateful that the universe gifted us with these world-changing, accidental inventions.....



Discovery of MatchStick

In 1826, John Walker, a chemist in Stockton on Tees, discovered through lucky accident that a stick coated with chemicals burst into flame when scraped across his hearth at home. He went on to invent the first friction match.



Discovery of X-Rays

Wilhelm Roentgen, Professor of Physics in Wurzburg, Bavaria, discovered X-rays in 1895—accidentally—while testing whether cathode rays could pass through glass.




Discovery of Safety Glass

Edouard Benedictus made an accidental discovery in his lab. One day, in 1903 he dropped a beaker sending the flask to the floor. It broke — but its pieces held together. Cellulose nitrate, a clear liquid plastic left in the beaker, had dried and kept the glass from breaking into shards. After experimenting further Benedictus developed safety glass

20 Things Can’t Be Seen Anywhere But in Japan

Elements from Japanese culture are in our lives right now: many people watch anime and Japanese TV series, they eat wok and sushi, and they listen to songs by Japanese singers. And even such a seemingly ordinary thing as karaoke actually originated in Japan. However, there are still some things that can only be seen in the Land of the Rising Sun.

Really, Japan is a unique country, different from the rest of the world. Wanna have Pringles soup when in Japan? Here you go. In the mood for dinner with a huge plush Moomin in a Japanese cafe? Not a problem at all. Here are some cultural things can’t be seen anywhere but in Japan.

SUMMARY:
- Most people know that a sure sign they CAN cross the road is the little, lit-up green man, right? Well, not in Japan! There, you should wait for a green rabbit called Miffy.
- In Japan, they grow square watermelons. Nope, it's not a slip of the tongue. In Kagawa prefecture, they produce a couple hundred square watermelons a year.
- When you buy Pringles in Japan, you don't get a tube of potato chips; you get noodles!
- In Japan, if you come to a cafe alone, you get a massive plush Moomin as your lunch companion so that you don't feel sad!
- A Holiday meal means tons of tasty food and, of course, a big roast turkey! But if you ever celebrate the Holidays while in Japan, don't get surprised to be treated with KFC instead of more traditional food.
- In the Ginza district of Tokyo, there’s an unusual stationery store which rises 12 floors!
- There are more than 50 million vending machines in Japan, and that means they’re literally everywhere!
- If you're in Japan and wondering what souvenirs you can get for your family and friends, try Japan-limited Kit-Kats!
- Suffering from the cold in the winter? Just get yourself one of these one-use pocket-heaters that are so popular in Japan! It's called kairo, and nowadays, you just need to open it for the chemical reaction to begin.
- Do you love unusual forms of art? Then how about rice paddy art? People plant rice of different colors and types to create breathtaking images in paddy fields.
- Imagine returning home after a long and crazy day at work. The Japanese have found a solution for this problem - and that's a subway chin rest!

Scientists Removed Water from an Old British Bridge But Couldn't Believe Their Eyes

There are places swarming with dark secrets, forbidden passages, and hidden rooms. Few people are aware of the existence of these places, but occasionally, someone will accidentally fall across a sealed door or locked room, and the mystery is unraveled.

Approximately 60 miles away from London, there is a beautiful old palace. Future British Prime Minister Winston Churchill was born within its walls. In 1768, the insides of the abandoned bridge got flooded. Lately, two of the lakes, the Queen Pool and the Great Lake, have been steadily drying out. Not so long ago, the decision was made to restore the Grand Bridge. The engineers constructed a labyrinth of dams, siphons, and groundwater wells, and as soon as the water level dropped by 6.5 ft, a shocking truth was revealed.

Music by Epidemic Sound

SUMMARY:
- The thing is that lately, two of the lakes, the Queen Pool and the Great Lake, have been steadily drying out. Experts were worried that if the lakes were to run completely dry, the bridge would become unstable.
- But not so long ago, in October 2018, the decision was made to restore the Grand Bridge. Undaunted by the $15-million reconstruction cost, work began to bring back one of the most beautiful views in England to life.
- It turned out that the bridge housed more than 30 rooms, and plaster on the walls indicated that people may have lived there in the early 18th century.
- With the help of a full internal 3D survey, the scientists were able to explore the eerie place. They discovered stairways and fireplaces, chimneys and strange chambers without windows, graffiti which dated back to the 1760s and broken and sunken boats used in the 1950s for reed cutting.
- The New Yorker Hotel in, well, New York is home to countless untold secrets, such as a mysterious Art Deco tunnel. This tunnel, safely concealed under 34th Street, goes from the hotel's lobby all the way to Penn station.
- One of the busiest railway stations in Melbourne, Australia, is Flinders Street Station. What most of these people don't know is that an old ballroom hides on the station’s third floor and is rarely open to visitors.
- Who would think that underneath the elegant Waldorf Astoria hotel in New York, there is a secret railway station! It used to be a wartime escape route.
- Did you know that at Mount Rushmore, right behind Abraham Lincoln's head, there is a tiny room, so small that it can barely fit several visitors?
- Rome is almost always crowded with people. And while more than 4 million visitors come to see the Colosseum each year, very few know that under this world-famous tourist attraction, there is a vast network of tunnels.
- More than 300,000 commuters go through Milan's central railway station, the Stazione Centrale, every single day. Most of them have no idea that behind the closed doors they pass is the most lavish and exclusive room in the whole building, Royal Pavilion.
- Despite the Eiffel Tower's fame, few people know that it hides a tiny secret. It's a cozy little apartment near the top of the tower. Gustave Eiffel, the creator of the magnificent construction, left this hidden nook for himself.

SUMMARY:
- Taj Mahal has been one of the Seven Wonders of the World for quite some time. The construction was commissioned in 1632, and it’s believed that it took up to 21 years to complete the entire project.
- There was an infamous Indian conman who repeatedly “sold” different landmarks in the country, including the Taj Mahal and the Parliament House of India!
- With around 51 births every minute (that’s over 73,000 a day!), this country has one of the fastest-growing populations in the world.
- There are about 780 languages spoken in India, but some sources put it in the thousands. Whatever the case, only 22 have been recognized as official languages.
- You’ll be happy to know that cell service and mobile Internet is very cheap in India.
- If you go to a restaurant and order a whole meal with chicken or even fish, your bill could be as little as $1!
- In case you haven’t heard of the Land of Spices, India produces around 70% of the world’s supply.
- A State of the Nation Survey in 2006 showed that up to 31% of the Indian population is vegetarian, and another 9% do eat eggs but no forms of meat.
- Cricket is the most popular sport in the country, much like soccer in Europe or football in the US.
- The Ganges Dolphin is unique to this river. Unfortunately, their numbers are drastically decreasing due to increasing pollution.
- Kumbh Mela is the two-month mass pilgrimage of those of Hindu faith to bathe in the Ganges.
- Kumbh Mela is one of many festivals celebrated in the Indian culture, but the brightest has to be the color festival Holi.
- Indian bills also have Braille markings so that blind people can read their values.
- Another fun fact on the topic of Indian money: it’s illegal for foreigners to take rupees in or out of the country.
- Did you know that the iconic band’s frontman Freddy Mercury was of Indian descent? His name at birth was Farrokh Bulsara, and both of his parents were from Bombay!
- India has the highest number of winners for the Miss World competition with a total of six! Only Venezuela has produced the same amount of title-holders since the beauty pageant’s start in 1951.
- You familiar with Chutes and Ladders? Well, this popular classic dates back to ancient Indian times and was known as ‘Moksha Patam’.

30 Unique Things That Only Happen in Saudi Arabia

Did you ever think you could serve jail time for a selfie? Well, there’s no country quite like Saudi Arabia, and while it definitely has a colorful culture, some of its traditions and rules are fascinating…. And some are just plain weird!

For example, birth control is often accessible only for married women. Some pharmacies can ask for a marriage certificate before selling contraceptives! If you're a Saudi man, giving flowers to your sweetheart is also not a good idea. Here, women can only receive flowers from other women. And there are no cinemas in Saudi Arabia. The government believes that movies may give men and women inappropriate ideas. Can you imagine that?

SUMMARY:
- Saudi Arabia is located on the Arabian Peninsula. Just so you know, this is the world’s largest peninsula. And even though Saudi Arabia is the 13th largest country in the world, it still has no river! Considering the fact that it’s mostly deserts, this is a real bummer for everybody.
- Despite its desert climate, snow, rain, and hail are never out of the picture. Especially, if you live in areas like Tabuk.
- Also, don’t be surprised if you see a Saudi family enjoying their meals on the floor.
- Saudi people take naming their child pretty seriously. They usually choose names that somehow reflect their kid’s heritage, the clan they’re from, or their extended family.
- Not that long ago, the women of Saudi Arabia weren’t allowed to drive cars or even ride bicycles. However, they could easily fly planes if they wanted to. Seems logical! Thankfully, in 2018, this ban was lifted.
- Universities are also packed with women. According to statistics, about 52 percent of students pursuing a bachelor’s degree are, in fact, women.
- Valentine’s Day in Saudi Arabia also comes with a set of rules. Flower shops can’t sell red roses, gift shops avoid selling heart-shaped products, and girls are prohibited from wearing red to school. And if you're a Saudi man, giving flowers to your sweetheart is also not a good idea. Here, women can only receive flowers from other women.
- Saudi wedding ceremonies are also not as fun as you might think. Believe it or not, they’re often held separately for the bride and the groom! The newlyweds get together only near the end of it.
- Music classes are also kinda banned in public schools. Sure, the Saudi music industry is pretty dynamic, but all Saudi musicians either taught themselves how to play instruments or had to hire a tutor.
- If you live in Saudi Arabia, you should also forget about crazy birthday parties. Public gatherings of any kind are completely prohibited, so your best option is having a piece of cake at home in your favorite pajamas.
- When the rest of the world obsesses over oil, Saudi people know what’s good. Here, fresh water is way more expensive and valuable. However, that’s probably because all the oil in Saudi Arabia can easily fill more than 4.7 million Olympic-size swimming pools!

A Plane That Landed with Extremely Speed Ever

On December 31, 1988, a passenger airliner heading from Kaliningrad, Russia, to Odessa, Ukraine, made for a landing in the destination airport. New Year in Russia is a big deal. And this might have been the reason for what happened on that day with the Tu-134 flight.

The weather forecast for the day was not one that would make you overjoyed: it was overcast and stormy, with strong winds and low visibility. The cabin crew knew all this: they were warned of the conditions in advance. All systems were working fine, the airplane was cruising to its place of destination. The problems began when permission to descend was given. The speed at which the aircraft descended was way too high...

#planes #aviation #dangerousthings

Music by Epidemic Sound

SUMMARY:
- The pilots received the first warning message at the altitude of 24,600 ft (7,500 m) but the crew deliberately ignored it. As it turned out later, the first pilot was sure everything was alright, and he could land the plane anyway.
- The pilots decided to fly directly to the runway despite the high speed. That was a crucial error, as it turned out. The speed of the plane was about 280 mph (450 kph), which is much faster than the recommended — and safe — landing speed of 205 mph (330 kph).
- Anyway, the most surprising thing about the situation was that none of this was connected with any troubles on board the airplane. Everything was working perfectly fine, no emergencies arose, literally nothing was wrong… except the crew’s decisions.
- The plane stormed on through the runway and onto the end safety area, only to come to a halt just 5 ft (1.5 m) before touching the naked ground.
- As a result, no one was hurt on board, but it was pure luck. The landing was not smooth in the least, and the passengers were frightened, but, fortunately, everything turned out well.
- As for the plane itself, it continued to fly with different airlines for many more years — after all, it was a good plane, and the incident wasn’t its fault.
- The Tu-134 incident wasn’t the only one like that, though, and it wasn’t the most epic one either. For example, there was a Boeing-737 that overran the end of the runway and ended up on a busy street!
- The flight captain acknowledged the instructions and did exactly as he was told. Well, who can blame him for that, right? Just following orders. But what happened next went so wrong that he couldn’t even explain his actions later.
- When they didn’t receive the verbal command to slow down, they simply proceeded at the same speed they had been cruising the whole way.
- Later, he couldn’t even explain why. As for the first officer, he said that he knew they weren’t about to land safely but believed the captain was taking steps to avoid a crash.
- Eventually, the airplane crashed into the metal fence and an airport perimeter wall, tearing through both, and finally came to a halt right in the middle of Hollywood Way, a busy four-lane city street.
- Several months later, both the captain and the first officer of Flight 1455 were fired because of the accident. And the plane, as it turned out, sustained too much damage and was later scrapped.

9 Mysterious Places That Leave Scientists Confused

The history of the world is full of surprising mysteries. None of us will live long enough to see them all solved. Scientists have already discovered a lot about the Universe, but there are some real places out there that even leave them completely baffled! Have you ever heard, for example, about boiling river or never-ending lightning storm?

The Petrifying Well 7:30

Music by Epidemic Sound

SUMMARY:
- For a very long time, scientists couldn’t figure out what the reason was behind this crimson fall. At first, they believed that red algae gave the water its gory tint. But new studies found that iron oxides are present in the water.
- Despite these islands constantly moving, locals build their huts on them because most people in the area earn money by fishing in the lake.
- In the hot Karakum Desert in Turkmenistan, there’s a 226-foot-wide hole that’s been on fire for almost 50 years!
- If “lightning never strikes the same place twice” then apparently this unique spot in Venezuela where the Catatumbo River meets Lake Maracaibo didn’t get the memo. Here, there’s an average of 260 storm days and about 1.2 million lightning bolts striking it a year.
- Located deep in the Peruvian Amazon, this 4-mile-long river known as Shanay-Timpishka gets as hot as 196°F, which obviously means no swimming if you don’t wanna become soup!
- The devastating flood that hit Kerala, India last year almost submerged the whole state underwater. But then the locals saw a narrow strip of sand that had surfaced from the water along the beach and literally split the sea into two.
- While the national average of twin births is no more than 9 in 1,000, the number is as high as 45 in 1,000 in Kodinhi.
- Speaking of mysterious villages, this real-life and literal sleepy hollow is the remote town of Kalachi in Kazakhstan. In 2013, locals couldn’t stop falling asleep while they were doing everyday activities.
- This mystical well is located near the River Nidd, which runs through Knaresborough in North Yorkshire, UK. Oh yeah, and its water is known for turning objects into stone!

A Glass of Water Saved a Plane And 72 Passengers

The plane had been used for 20 years, but it had never suffered a single accident before, so the cabin crew had no doubts the flight would be easy. Passengers got on board the plane; flight attendants nonchalantly checked their boarding passes; everything went as usual.

But what happened after that was really scary. No electricity onboard, all equipment down, no airport in sight, and only a half-forgotten runway deep in the Siberian snow forest. It’s hard to imagine a worse scenario for a passenger plane landing, so it’s a real miracle that everyone ended up safe and sound. And all of it thanks to… a glass of water.

Music by Epidemic Sound

SUMMARY:
- The plane had been used for 20 years, but it had never suffered a single accident before, so the cabin crew had no doubts the flight would be easy.
- The electronic equipment started acting abnormally, but the pilots shrugged it off as a nuisance and continued the flight. Air traffic control also neglected the problem.
- Just 8 minutes after the announcement, the lights in the cabin went off. Only the flight attendants paid any attention to it, believing everything was alright. In the cockpit, though, the situation immediately became desperate.
- Without the equipment, the plane became crippled. It was still operable, but all the navigational systems refused to work, the radio went offline, and the fuel transfer pumps were also lost.
- Without any means to control the angle at which they descended, they used an old and almost forgotten trick: a glass of water put on the control panel.
- As Captain Novosyolov later said in an interview, it was a pure stroke of luck that they saw a landing strip near the town of Izhma. It was an old airport that had been abandoned for a long time and closed for any aircraft except helicopters.
- Despite the abandonment of the airport, airport supervisor Sergey Sotnikov, of his own will, kept the runway in a good condition for all those years. He cut down the emerging brush, swept away garbage, and even drew the runway marking when it faded.
- Before the last attempt at landing, all passengers and the cabin crew were transferred to the front of the plane to be ready for an emergency evacuation.
- The emergency escape slides were dispatched. And all 72 passengers along with all 9 crew members safely went down to the ground. None of them were even slightly injured.
- The lucky passengers and crew were transported by helicopters to nearby Ukhta, from where they went on to Moscow by another plane, and only one family decided they’d had enough air travel for a lifetime and took a train instead.
- Sergey Novosyolov and his co-pilot Andrey Lamanov were made Heroes of the Russian Federation, while the rest of the cabin crew received the Orders of Courage.
- After that, the aircraft continued performing flights for another 7 years. It received its own nickname, Izhma, and in September 2018 it flew for the last time.

A Captain Was Pulled Out, See What Happened to the Plane

Every day, about 10 million people take commercial flights to get from point A to point B. Almost 100,000 planes take off and land without a hitch. But from time to time, very rarely, an accident will happen that seems to spike cases of aviophobia all over the world. Like that time when a captain was partially pulled out of the cockpit, dangling in the sky at an altitude of 17,000 ft!

As it usually happens, nothing was amiss at first. The pilots were experienced. The plane seemed to be perfectly Ok and the cabin crew was professional and friendly. No one expected the dramatic outcome that was in store for this flight...

#criticalsituation #aircrafts #aviation

Music by Epidemic Sound

SUMMARY:
- On June 10, 1990, four crew members and 81 passengers boarded the aircraft. At 08:20 AM, the co-pilot performed a routine take-off, and British Airways Flight 5390 left Birmingham, England, and headed toward Malaga, Spain.
- Just as the cabin crew was preparing to serve meals, flight attendant Nigel Ogden was entering the cockpit, and there was a loud bang. The passengers were terrified because they thought there was an explosion.
- The real cause of the chaos was the left windscreen panel of the cockpit. It had separated from the fuselage of the plane and was blown away. Later, it was found somewhere in Didcot.
- Decompression that occurred when the window blew out made the air rush out of the cabin. The captain had already removed his lap belt. That's why the man was literally ripped out of his seat and sucked out of the missing windscreen.
- Recalling the accident later, one of the passengers told the press that she had noticed a man who had been hanging out of the window, and two other men and a woman had been holding onto his legs, trying to prevent him from being sucked out.
- Meanwhile, the passengers thought the plane was on fire and started to panic. The cockpit door was sucked inward and collided with the control console, blocking some parts of it.
- The plane didn't have enough oxygen for everyone on board. That's why the co-pilot was in a hurry to descend to an altitude where the passengers and crew could breathe normally. After he fulfilled this task, he immediately broadcasted a distress call.
- Despite their assumption that the man had already lost his life, the crew was still holding onto his body. They were still clinging to him even when the plane made the emergency landing at the airport of Southhampton.
- Naturally, the man was in a state of shock, but he managed to return to work in less than five months and didn’t retire from commercial piloting until 2008.
- Investigators discovered that 27 hours before the flight, when the windscreen was installed, 84 of the bolts used in the process were too small in diameter, and the rest of the bolts were too short!
- But the accident with British Airways Flight 5390 hasn't been the only accident when a crew member barely escaped being pulled out of the plane.
- On May 14, 2018, a Sichuan Airlines flight was heading from China to Tibet. When the plane reached the cruising altitude of 32,000 ft (9,753 m), the right windshield suddenly exploded with a deafening bang.
- The captain, who was a former military pilot, managed to regain manual control over the Airbus A319, and the plane made an emergency landing at the airport of Chengdu.

A Train Almost Ruined the Town But Something Saved People

Traveling by train is one of the safest ways to get somewhere. But what's that? You feel it accelerate, and soon it's already moving at breakneck speed, ignoring stop signs, stations, and other trains. You're pinching yourself in a futile attempt to wake up, but it’s no nightmare – you’re on a runaway train!

It was a cold winter night on January 11, 2004. Two people were supposed to arrive at the train yard that night: 31-year-old engineer Eduard and his 24-year-old assistant Alexander. But when it was time for their shift to begin, the engineer was nowhere to be seen. They eventually got hold of Eduard, and the engineer simply said that he’d overslept. His health readings were normal, and he was totally sober. Everything was fine, nothing out of routine here, except maybe the fact that instead of his uniform, the man was wearing a suit and tie, as if he was going to some important event. But nobody seemed to find that odd…

Music by Epidemic Sound

SUMMARY:
- After the doctors gave him the green light, the engineer was ready to go. He climbed up into the cab, and that's when his assistant noticed another oddity. Eduard didn't put a new tape into the train's speedometer, which was a serious violation of the rules.
- After the train left the loading station, the engineer broke protocol once more by refusing to check if the brake system was working correctly.
- As the train came toward the railway haul Volkhovstroy 2 – Kukol’, the station operator reported that there was another train approaching the station. Alexander the assistant screamed in horror when the engineer hit the controls to accelerate!
- When Alexander tried to bring his co-worker to his senses, the much stronger engineer answered back with physical threats.
- At 2:58am, the train blew through the red light at Kukol’ station, careened on a totally unscheduled route, and dashed toward the main track.
- Everything changed at Valya station. At 3:02am, when the runaway had already blown through the previous stop at Myslino, the Valya station operator came up with the idea to cut the power on the line.
- At 3:45am, the train finally lost its forward momentum and came to a stop. Alexander the assistant immediately saw his only chance to escape.
- When the police got to the train at 4:14am, they discovered the engineer on the floor, completely out of it. The delusional man was taken to the hospital for mental health treatment.
- Had the train continued its crazed path to destruction, it would’ve made it to the town of Tikhvin, population: 60,000.
- It happened on May 15, 2001 in northwest Ohio. Locomotive #8888 (hence the nickname) was moving a string of 47 freight cars on the Walbridge – Kenton line.
- Things were going smoothly until the train's 35-year-old engineer noticed that one switch was strangely misaligned. The man decided that since the train was moving quite slowly, he’d have more than enough time to get down, fix the switch, and climb right back up into his cabin.
- Before the engineer left the cab, he’d set the wrong brake.
- When the engineer tried to switch a special brake that would’ve slowed the train down to a crawl, he accidentally set the engine not to brake but to accelerate!
- At first, they tried to stop the train with the help of a portable derailer, but these attempts failed. Then the police started to shoot at the emergency switch, which serves to cut off the fuel supply.
- As soon as the runaway's speed dropped to 11 mph (18 kph), engineer Jon Hosfeld, who’d been waiting up ahead, managed to climb into the cab and shut down the engine.

The Shortest 57-Second Passenger Flight in the World

At any given moment, there are about 10,000 planes in the air carrying over a million passengers around the world. Most of those people are up there to travel bigger distances in a shorter time because that’s what planes are for, right? So why would anyone take the world's shortest commercial flight with a mere 1.7-mile-long route?

Actually, it's how you can get from the island of Westray to the island of Papa Westray the fastest. Your time onboard will be just as shockingly short at 57 seconds! Well, that’s the record time planes reach when the wind is favorable. If not, you might have to endure a whole 2 minutes if you include taxiing time.

SUMMARY:
- When it’s time to board, you’ll approach a small plane out on the tarmac. It's a Britten-Norman Islander, a light regional aircraft with 8 seats.
- By the way, traveling by a Britten-Norman Islander is more or less green, at least in comparison to other planes.
- Admittedly, the plane doesn't go too high into the air as it flies over the water. And next thing you know, you’re landing.
- You leave the aircraft, happy and impressed, and here's a surprise for you! As one of those who made this trip for the first time in their life, you get a special certificate!
- Local teachers, doctors, bankers, and other islanders use this service on a regular basis. Amazingly, the Orkney Inter-Isles Air Service has already transported more than 1 million passengers!
- Loganair opened this route in 1967 and celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2017. The company treasures this route, saying that it's a world-famous jewel of their network.
- On the other end of the flight-time spectrum, Singapore Airlines launched the longest non-stop flight in the world in October 2018. The ultra-long-range plane covers a mind-blowing 9,700 miles (15,600 km) when it travels from Singapore Changi Airport to New York.
- And if you ever get a chance, be sure to check out South-African-based budget-friendly Kulula Airlines. This company has become famous thanks to its planes' bright green and often hilarious paint jobs!
- Are you a fan of Hello Kitty? Then you'll love the Taiwanese airline EVA. Several of this company’s aircraft are decorated in Hello Kitty style, with every single detail reminding you of this adorable cartoon cat.
- If you've chosen Air Malta to fly from London Gatwick Airport to Malta, then it’d be your lucky day! The airline launched an in-flight spa service free of charge! Two professional masseuses offer passengers neck, feet, scalp, and hand massages during the flight.
- If you’re looking for a bit of extreme in your life, you can try blind booking, also called mystery flights, by German low-cost airline Eurowings.

A 7-Year-Old Airport Never Had a Flight for a Reason

The idea of building one large, modern airport that would handle most of the flights in Berlin was met with enthusiasm. This airport was supposed to become the third biggest airport in Germany, after Frankfurt and Munich. But the opening has been put off several times and is already almost 3,000 days overdue. Some people even believe that the new airport is doomed and will have to be torn down and rebuilt.

What could be so wrong with the airport that it would fail to open for so many years? Well, at the very last moment, the airport's opening is called off due to some mysterious technical issues...

How to switch off these light bulbs? 5:20
The bankruptcy of the main tenant 5:44
The only day when the airport was functioning 7:26

#airports #brandenburg #aviation

Music by Epidemic Sound

SUMMARY:
- At first, the construction of the airport was supposed to cost about 2.2 billion dollars (2 billion euro), which really isn’t that much, speaking about airports. But no such luck! Today, the number has already reached a staggering 8.2 billion dollars (7.3 billion euro), and that's not even the final figure!
- The construction of the airport started in 2006, and the plan was to open the airport in the summer of 2012. However, the opening has been put off several times and is already almost 3,000 days overdue.
- One of the main problems (yep, there are lots!) is a fire-alarm system which turns out to be too complicated and, what’s worse - faulty!
- When the airport was testing their efficiency with all those volunteers, each check-in desk had to serve about 60 passengers per hour. Unfortunately, check-in staff only managed to handle half that number.
- There are serious structural problems with the ceiling. In short, the roof may actually collapse. That's probably because it's twice as heavy as its authorized weight.
- Nowadays, all 750 flight information displays have to be replaced since they’ve been working since the original opening date and have sadly reached their limit.
- It's located pretty far away from the city, and not all the passengers will be willing to make such a long journey to catch a short direct flight. It's true that some big international airports, let's say, Tokyo Narita Airport, are situated far from the cities they serve.

10 Unique Places Where Gravity Is Zero

Planet Earth lives by the laws of gravity discovered by Sir Isaac Newton. Gravity is constant. It's something entirely unshakeable that we can always rely on in this ever-changing world, right? Umm, not really. In fact, it’s not as honest and clear as you think.

There are gravitational anomalies in some places where gravity behaves like it’s gone crazy. In such places this law can’t be applied: there, a car can go uphill with its engine off, a waterfall doesn’t fall, and a very heavy boulder can sit on top of a rock at a very strange angle without tumbling down.

TIMESTAMPS:
Where cars crawl upwards 0:40
Where trees twist to the north at the roots 1:41
Where a waterfall moves upwards 2:30
Where water flows up instead of spilling down 3:14
Where different objects roll uphill 3:59
Where a boulder sits upon the edge of a cliff 4:43
One more boulder defying gravity 5:41
Devils Tower 6:54
Where you can’t stand straight 7:58
The Hudson Bay anomaly 8:54

#gravity #anomaly #brightside

SUMMARY:
- There’s a stretch of road in India that’s been attracting tourists from all over the world. If you stop your car on the Magnetic Hill going up the slope and put it on neutral, it’ll start crawling upwards, eventually reaching the speed of up to 12 mph.
- Near the village of Nowe Czarnowo, there’s a forest, in the depth of which you can find a strangely looking pine grove. Planted in 1930s, there are 400 trees that sharply twist to the north almost at the roots and then grow upwards in a semicircle.
- Ever seen an upward moving waterfall? You can have a look at one on the Faroe Islands halfway from Iceland to Scotland.
- If you ever get up to the top of the dam, which is about 726 ft high, you can try a little trick: take a bottle of water and pour it over the edge. You’ll see the water flow up instead of spilling down.
- Another gravitational anomaly located on a road. Locals once found out that, if you put an empty can or a bottle on the ground, it will immediately start rolling uphill.
- If you happen to be in Burma, make sure to visit this well-known site. A gold-leaf covered boulder sits upon the edge of a cliff, and a small pagoda is built on top of it. The impressive thing about the rock is that it only lightly touches the cliff for support.
- If there ever was a thing that said “I defy gravity” out loud, it’s the Stone of Davasco. The huge 300-ton boulder stands precariously on the edge of a cliff and rocks a little bit from side to side in the wind.
- The true mind-blowing feature of Devils Tower is that scientists can’t explain how it came to existence in the first place. You see, it’s an 867-foot rock formation with walls so steep they’re basically vertical. This piece of stone just rose amid rolling plains of Wyoming with nothing like it for miles and miles around.-
- The House of Mystery in Gold Hill, Oregon, amazes its visitors with gravity-defying effects: you can’t stand straight there, always leaning to the side and having to hold on to something for balance.
- Hudson Bay, Canada, is probably the only place in the world where gravity is indeed lower than anywhere else on the planet! Even skeptics can’t smirk at it because the difference has been measured with precision equipment.

10 Mayan Secret Places That Were Hidden for Centuries

The Mayan civilization is full of secrets. Even experts have been baffled by their highly sophisticated writing system, their knowledge of mathematics and astronomy, and the amazing architectural marvels they managed to create without any modern equipment. Every year, archeologists and researchers use the most advanced technologies to uncover the mysteries hidden behind the walls of temple complexes, buried in the depth of sacred cenotes and caves.

Well, how they managed to create them is a matter of discussion, but let’s not get into that. Instead, let's see at some of these marvelous architectural accomplishments. Tour guides never reveal these secrets of centuries-old ruins to ordinary tourists.

Music by Epidemic Sound

SUMMARY:
- Temple of KuKULkan, was built sometime between the 9th and 12th centuries CE. During the autumn equinox and the vernal equinox, one can see a snake-like shadow crawling on the pyramid's balustrade. It moves upwards in March and downwards in September.
- The Balancanché caves aren't included on the classic tourist route. The name translates to the cave of the sacred jaguar throne. These mesmerizing caves were first discovered by two American archaeologists in 1905 and have since then stirred curiosity.
- Cenote Ik Kil is located in the Yucatán State of Mexico. This place is otherworldly. While the Mayans used this site as a place for performing rituals, today tourists can be seen swimming.
- Nohoch Mul Pyramid is the place you should visit. If you aren’t afraid of heights and can muster the energy to climb its 130 steep steps to the top, you’ll be able to get a remarkable view of the Yucatán.
- Ancient city Tulum is the only Mayan city on the shore of the Caribbean Sea, located 39 feet (12 m) up on the cliffs of the Yucatan peninsula.
- The tallest and the most recognizable structure in Uxmal is also known by other names, like the Pyramid of the Dwarf, Casa el Adivino, and the Pyramid of the Soothsayer.
- Temple of the Inscriptions was built as a tomb for King Pakal, the ruler of Palenque in the 7th century. The inner walls of the temple are inscribed with about 600 hieroglyphs, some of which are yet to be deciphered.
- Located not far from Palenque, the ancient city, Yaxchilan, was one of the most powerful states in the Mayan empire. The city is known for its well-preserved stone ornamentation above the doorways of the main structures known as lintels.
- According to Professor Mary Miller, who specializes in Mayan art, no other artifacts from the Mayan times offer a better glimpse of the society than the Bonampak paintings.
- The Temple of the Great Jaguar was built as a funerary temple, and in the year 1962, archaeologists were finally able to locate the tomb of the ruler who built it. The body of the king was covered with large quantities of jade ornaments.

10 Bridges You Won't Walk On Even for $1 Million

People learned to build bridges many centuries ago. At first, they were questionable constructions made of stones, wood, and even tree roots. But nowadays, bridges have turned into magnificent structures able to withstand huge strain. And still, some bridges are so bizarre and scary that not everyone would dare to step on them!

SUMMARY:
- #1. The construction looms 186 ft above the water’s surface, and they say that when the weather is bad, you can't see the shore from the middle of the bridge. All things combined, it creates an eerie feeling of being suspended in some kind of nerve-racking limbo.
- #2. At 410 ft long, this is the longest curved suspension bridge in the world. The deck of Sky Bridge is 2,170 ft above sea level, among the mountain peaks, and boy, that's a sight to behold!
- #3. This bridge held the title of the world's highest from 1929, when it was completed, till 2001, when Liuguanghe Bridge in China surpassed it by 19 ft.
- #4. The tallest bridge in the world seems to be floating over the river Tarn's gorge valley in southern France. The total length of the bridge is 8,070 ft, and its maximum height is a whopping 1,125 ft above the ground!
- #5. This is one of the longest and oldest teakwood footbridges in the world. Besides, it's probably one of the most photographed as well!
- #6. The world's longest glass bridge, opened in 2017, hangs over a picturesque canyon in the Hebei province of China. About 1,600 ft long and more than 700 ft high, the bridge is paved with 1,077 glass panels!
- #7. The walkway isn't particularly long, only 200 ft, but the view that is waiting is breathtaking. Everyone using the pathway has to wear special anti-slip shoe covers.
- #8. This is the largest rigid-frame bridge in Japan, even though it looks more like a twisted roller coaster for drivers! The structure has incredibly steep inclines on both sides, and at first sight, you may doubt that a regular car is able to climb the bridge.
- #9. The locals call this construction the drunk bridge. Its length is only 850 ft, but the curve of the bridge that protrudes over the Norwegian Sea plays a funny visual trick on motorists.
-#10. The modern version of the Seven Mile Bridge was completed in 1982, and its construction cost was about $45 million.
