Jet Plane Engine Explodes Just Before Take Off !!!
This is the dramatic moment one of the engines of an aeroplane carrying more than 300 passengers explodes as it prepares to take off.
The Airbus A330 was taxiing along the runway at Manchester Airport yesterday when its right engine suddenly developed a fault and exploded.
The aircraft had fortunately not yet left the ground and the pilot was able to quickly bring it under control.
The Thomas Cook Airlines flight TCX314 had been carrying 325 passengers to the Dominican Republic at the time of the incident.
A dramatic video posted online shows how the engine suddenly explodes as the plane makes it way down the runway.
A flame can be seen coming from the engine before it begins to billow smoke.
The plane then veers slightly from one side to the other as the pilot swiftly gets the aircraft under control.
Emergency services including three fire engines then attend to the stationary vehicle.
A Thomas Cook Airlines spokesman confirmed an investigation was underway into the incident.
The aircraft veers slightly from one side to the other as the pilot swiftly brings the plane under control.
Once the plane is stationary emergency services including three fire engines attend to the aircraft..

Top 10 Airlines Offering Best Economy Class Seats !!!!
HAVE you ever lingered in the first or business class sections of a plane, longing to stretch out on a lie-flat bed, before begrudgingly continuing down the aisle of the plane to your tiny cattle class seat?
Well, while we’d all love to fly in luxury, these airlines offer the next best thing – a top-notch economy class offering that makes flying less of a pain and more enjoyable.
Here are the 10 best airlines for economy class seats, according to the Skytrax World Airline Awards, the world’s largest survey of air passengers with over 18 million respondents.
A range of factors make a good economy class seat including cleanliness, design, seat comfort, width, legroom and the amount of recline available. The entertainment offering, level of service and food are also important.
Do you agree with the following list?
10. Malaysia Airlines
Malaysia Airlines is one of the world’s best airlines for economy class.
9. Thai Airways
8. ANA All Nippon Airways
7. Oman Air
6. Japan Airlines
5.Qatar Airways
4.Singapore Airlines
3. Korean Air
2.Asiana Airlines
1. Garuda Indonesia…..
proof that airlines can rebuild their reputation, Garuda took out the top spot after a dark period in its history. The airline was banned in the EU along with three other Indonesian carriers following the crash of a 737 plane, with the ban lifted in 2009.
But passengers love its clean, new cabin with comfortable seats and decent legroom, plus an attentive crew.
Interestingly, the airline named the world’s best in the same Skytrax awards, Emirates, didn’t make the list.

“inhuman”….Staying Dry While Reporting Flood Havoc !!!!
Reporter Narayan Pargaien, of the News Express channel, sits on the shoulders of a flood victim. Photo: Screengrab
An Indian television journalist reporting on the deadly floods that have swept northern India has defended his decision to file a report while perched on a survivor’s shoulders.
Narayan Pargaien, who works for the local News Express channel, told Indian media website newslaundry.com that the criticism he has faced since the video was posted online was unfair.
The report was supposed to be telecast only with footage of me chest-up. This was entirely the cameraman’s fault, who… tried to sabotage my career by shooting from that distance and angle and releasing the video.
“People are talking about us being inhuman and wrong but we were actually helping some of the victims there,” Mr Pargaien said.
The reporter claimed that the slight man who carried him, who can be seen wobbling under the strain while standing in ankle-high water, had hoisted him onto his shoulders as a sign of respect.
The man “wanted to show me some respect, as it was the first time someone of my level had visited his house. So while crossing the river he offered to help by carrying me… between which, I thought of reporting”, Mr Pargaien said.
The journalist also attacked his cameraman for framing the shot so it showed him sitting on the floods survivor’s shoulders and accused him of posting the video online.
“The report was supposed to be telecast only with footage of me chest-up. This was entirely the cameraman’s fault, who… tried to sabotage my career by shooting from that distance and angle and releasing the video,” he said.
“I was wrong as well. That was the wrong thing to do, and the wrong time to have shot that sequence. But what my cameraman did was even more unacceptable.”
The Youtube video of the incident has been viewed more than 11,600 times since it was posted on Saturday.

Hidden in Plain Sight: During my visit to the Amalfi Coast in Italy I ventured for a day to Sorrento. This gorgeous island had an amazing coastline that I stuck to for the day. Because of a mix-up with ferry dock numbers I missed my ferry and had to wait two hours for the next one. I decided I would head back to town and went down a street I had passed a few times that day. The ground opened up, almost out of nowhere, where this absolute beauty, apparently “Valle dei Mulini”, was which I gazed at and shot for almost the entire period before I left for my next boat.

Strange But True ….A Stray Dog Steps Into Action Where No Human Would Even Volunteer…
In a heart-rending act of animal kindness, a stray dog steps in where no human would and buries a dead puppy by the side of a road.
Onlookers watched in awe as the mongrel circled and sniffed the lifeless pup after finding it in a ditch where it had been left to rot in the midday sun.
But rather than leave it to scavengers, who would inevitably have torn it limb from limb, she spent more than three minutes gently raking sand over the corpse with her snout with extraordinary care.
But there were no sermons, ceremony or quiet reflection at this impromptu canine burial service… not even a bark.
Once she is happy that the puppy’s body is entirely covered, the black-and-white dog simply turns around and walks silently away.
It was an extraordinary act of respect rarely seen in the animal kingdom and is sure melt hearts across the world
It is unclear whether she was a grieving mother burying one of her litter or just a passing stranger with a caring heart.
Nor is it clear where the moving scene, captured on a bystander’s mobile phone, was filmed but Arabic script on it’s YouTube page suggests it may have been made in the Middle East or the Persian Gulf.
Dogs are known to bury bones and toys to come back for later, but it is rare to see a dog burying another dog
Proper job: The mongrel goes to extraordinary lengths to ensure the dead pup is completely covered in sand
No ceremony: Once she is sure the puppy’s entire body is covered, the black-and-white dog simply turns around and walks silently away

It echoes pictures taken in December of a dog in China standing guard over his dead mate in a busy road where she was mown down by a speeding car.
Those heartbreaking pictures, taken in Zhangzhou, in China’s Fujian Province, show the animal carefully nudging the female dog after she was hit and killed by a car.
Vigil: The dog refused to move from her side despite the female lying in the middle of the busy road
Moving: The male tries licking the top of her head as he tries to revive her
After he fails to wake her, the male refuses to leave and stays within feet of his mate for six hours.
The male was seen repeatedly licking the face of dead dog and keeping a watchful eye on her as he dodged the oncoming traffic. But he never strayed more than a short distance from her side.
When he got tired the dog lay down next to her as he kept up his vigil for hours.

“UBUNTU “..I am Happy Because We are Happy !!!
An anthropologist proposed a game to children in an African tribe. He put a basket full of fruit near a tree and told the children that whoever got there first won the sweet fruits. When he told them to run, they all took each others hands and ran together, then sat together enjoying their treats.
When he asked them why they had run like that when one could have had all the fruits for himself, they said, ‘UBUNTU, how can one of us be happy if all the other ones are sad?’ (‘UBUNTU’ in the Xhosa culture means: ‘I am because we are.)”

Dare Devil On A Tightrope Walk !!!
Daredevil Nik Wallenda has completed a breath-taking tightrope walk that took him a quarter mile over the Little Colorado River Gorge in northeastern Arizona.
Wallenda performed the stunt late on Sunday on a 2-inch-thick steel cable, 1,500 feet above the river on the Navajo Nation near the Grand Canyon.
He took just more than 22 minutes, pausing and crouching twice as winds whipped around him and the rope swayed.
‘Thank you Lord. Thank you for calming that cable, God,’ he said about 13 minutes into the walk.
Wallenda didn’t wear a harness and stepped slowly and steady throughout, murmuring prayers to Jesus almost constantly along the way. He jogged and hopped the last few steps.
Winds blowing across the gorge had been expected to be around 30 mph. Wallenda told Discovery after the walk that the winds were at times ‘unpredictable’ and that dust had accumulated on his contact lenses.
‘It was way more windy, and it took every bit of me to stay focused the entire time,’ he said
The ranger Elmer Phillips said Wallenda appeared to be walking like any normal person would on a sidewalk. But he said he got a little nervous when Wallenda stopped the first time.
‘Other than that, a pretty amazing feat. I know I wouldn’t even attempt something like that,’ Phillips said. ‘Very nicely done.’
Wallenda told reporters after the walk that he hoped his next stunt would be a tightrope walk between the Empire State building and the Chrysler building in New York. But he said he would give up tightrope walking altogether if his wife and children ever asked him
Sunday’s stunt comes a year after he traversed Niagara Falls earning a seventh Guinness world record.
Wallenda wore a microphone and two cameras, one looking down on the dry Little Colorado River bed and one facing straight ahead. His leather shoes with an elk-skin sole helped him keep a grip on the steel cable as he moved across.
The event was broadcast live on the Discovery Channel with a ten-second delay. He was watched by 1.5million people compared to the 8million who watched Felix Baumgartner jump from space.
His parents — both highwire walkers — used to ram home the importance of being prepared for the unexpected, pelting him with pine cones as he swayed on a practice wire in their garden, or coming up behind him and shaking the wire.
His father and mentor, Terry, was the reassuring voice in his earpiece when Wallenda stepped out over the abyss.
Still, Nik admits that some eventualities can never be foreseen out on the wire. He was once stung by a bee and has had birds land on his balancing pole. Out in the Arizona desert, that could be a vulture.
As to how he copes with the extraordinary mental strain, Wallenda, an unshowy performer who usually does his walks in shorts and T-shirt, doesn’t shed much light on the subject.
It’s basically all he knows, he says. There’s certainly an otherworldly quality to a man who claims to get ‘very peaceful’ out on the wire.
In the past, Wallenda has hung from his teeth from a helicopter, and ridden a motorcycle up a steel cable. But he doesn’t like being called a daredevil.
‘I do consider what I do an art,’ he says. ‘And I consider a daredevil more of somebody who says: “I’m going to do something that’s never been done before but I haven’t trained for it.” I train and train and train and over-train for this.’
His wife Erendira, 32, is another wire walker
He got down on one knee to propose when they were both on a high wire!!!. But then who else would tolerate a husband with such a career?
She and the children watched him succeed in his breath-taking stunt on Sunday night.
They always say a family prayer, but there is no real ritual before his walks, he insists.
‘I’m not superstitious. I give my wife and kids a hug and a kiss, and say: “See you in a few minutes” — just like I do when I go out to get groceries

See It To Believe it !!!!
He has stunned audiences with jaw-dropping stunts that defy logic and can make the most skeptical cynic believe in magic.
But in an daring new act, Bradford-born Illusionist Dynamo today took his impressive skills to even greater heights.
The 30-year-old entertainer took in London’s sights by levitating beside the roof of a 15ft double-decker bus.
Defying gravity: Dynamo looks relaxed as he floats beside a 15ft bus. He levitated as the bus crossed London’s Wetminster Bridg
It has to be seen to be believed: These amazing pictures, taken by fans from the street (left) and inside the bus (right) show the trick from different perspectives
Smiling for the cameras, Dynamo, whose real name is Steven Frayne, travelled alongside the two-storey bus with the palm of his hand placed on the roof.
He hung in mid-air with his other arm outstretched as he crossed Westminister Bridge. A police escort cleared the way for Frayne’s daring feat, ensuring there was no traffic around the bus.
Frayne’s awad-winning show documents the tricks he has up his sleeve- from his mesmirising sleight of hand to his ability to walk on water.
He gained notoriety when he ‘walked’ across the Thames in 2011 to promote a new series of his show Magician Impossible.
Frayne has built his name on the celebrity circuit, astounding famous names with his tricks.
His previous tricks have included making Little Britain star Matt Lucas levitate before a live audience at Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium, and turning signed lottery tickets into cash in front of Robbie Williams and Davina McCall.
Acclaimed: Dynamo has baffled celebrity clients and industry experts with his skills. He was recognised by the magician’s society, the Magic Circle, last year.
