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."
live painting show – lost the save "For those who do not understand, the girl here is one of the victims of the Sewol Ferry disaster. The ferry sank for some reason (google it) so that explains why towards the end of the video she was wearing a life vest and there was sound of water and she unfortunately, didn't survive.. Yesterday (16th April) was the anniversary of the Sewol Ferry disaster, so this video is kind of like a tribute to it. It's very heart-breaking." - Commentary by 'Gillian Chu'
Primitive Technology: Water powered hammer (Monjolo) I built a water powered hammer called a “Monjolo” (see also karausu (からうす) on google images). I started by making a water spout from half a hollow log to direct water from the creek. This was set up in the creek and water flowed through it. The hammer was made from a fallen tree. I cut it to size by burning it at the points I wanted it cut (to save effort chopping). Next I carved a trough in one end to catch falling water. This was done first with a stone chisel that was then hafted to an L–shaped handle and used as an adze. This adze only took about an hour to make as I already had the chisel head and cordage made of bark fibre to bind it with.
Will OOBLECK Save the Egg? Non Newtonian Fluid Science Experiment I was doing some experiments with Oobleck (Non newtonian fluid made of corn starch and water) when I noticed the oobleck changing its state from liquid to solid I though that might spread some "kinetic energy" and act like a cushion.
Even more, I think the oobleck getting hard around the egg creates a protective shield...

Why don’t Commercial Airplanes have Parachutes? Seatbelts and airbags in cars save passengers lives. Parachutes save people who, for a variety of reasons, exit a plane in mid-flight. So why aren’t parachutes provided to passengers on commercial airline flights, in case of emergencies?

Saving a Sinking Ship: The Royal Navy’s Damage Repair Instructional Unit 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...
