A clip has been a hit online, obtaining over 60,000 hits in less than 48 hours.The video is of a near miss between a bi-plane and a 4-wheeler on an airfield runway. The video was captured during a practice run for an upcoming show created by the daredevils known as Those Crazy Texans. The footage shows one of the group performing a wheelie on the quad along an unidentified runway. As his friend films in the background captures a light aircraft suddenly appears in the distance travelling at about 200 miles and hour straight toward them. The two escaped unharmed as the plane manages to swerve around them at the very last possible second while leaving a trail of smoke in its wake. I want to know what in the world they were doing on the runway for god’s sake, are they frickin’ crazy? Are they mentally ill? Common sense would say to stay off a runway without at least clearance from the Air Traffic Controller.
Repelled residents in Southeast England flooded the local police departments with frantic calls after the world’s smelliest substance left them gagging. Health officials did track down the epicenter of the horrid stench of “rotten cabbage” to a factory in France. They eventually managed to pinpoint the leak in a factory in Rouen, Normandy which is approximately 70 miles West of Paris. They revealed it was a colorless gas called mercaptan, which just so happens to be named the World’s Smelliest Substance in the Guinness Book of Records. It is a harmless substance which is added to natural gas to give it a tell-tale pong in case of leaks.
Lucy Parker, 27, was in her bed in Hasting, East Sussex, when she was woken by ‘Le Stink’. She said: ”It is totally disgusting and makes you retch. I turned round to my boyfriend and told him off.” ”Then he started blaming me, until we realized the smell was completely overpowering and wasn’t coming from either of us.”
James Boyes, 42, of Dover added: “It is truly, truly awful – like the worst flatulent person ever standing with their back turned to you.”
A police spokesman said: “We understand the smell emanates from an accidental discharge at a factory in Rouen. It is unpleasant, but not toxic an there is no danger to the public.”
I would absolutely hate to be in 500 mile proximity of the leak, that stuff reeks. How long will that stench stay in the air around the factory?
