Most Brutal Injuries Ever Captured on X-Ray

It is not often that one can look at images like those featured in this story without experiencing a shiver down the spine. In fact, it's hard to believe that the injuries shown here turned out not to be fatal, but then the body does have incredible powers of recovery! Six nails were embedded in the skull of construction worker Isidro Mejia, 39, after an industrial incident caused a nail gun to shoot nails into his head and brain on April 19, 2004. Five of the six nails, shown above in an x-ray from Providence Holy Cross Hospital, were removed in surgery that day, and the sixth was removed from his face on April 23, after the swelling had gone down.

Abandoned Underground Docks in Japan Made For Military Ships and Submarines

If you have watched the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles show you are probably informed about their place of living, the underground. They do live in really huge underground pipes and tunnels where they have found comfortable places for creating a base in there. If you thought that this can only be seen in animated movies, then, you should think again when you see this.Here you can see a huge complex of underground pipes and tunnels which have been designed to house hundreds of Japanese battleships and submarines. The main purpose of this huge dock was to keep the military ships protected from nuclear attack, deep underground.

Beetle in a Cocktail Dress: The Volkswagen Karmann Ghia

For 20 years, Volkswagen managing director Heinz Nordhoff clung stubbornly to the Beetle. Although both in-house designers and outside consultants like Porsche proposed literally dozens of redesigns or replacements for the familiar Bug, Nordhoff rejected almost all of them. Instead, he opted for a steady, conservative evolution of VW's basic Type 1 sedan (the Beetle) and Type 2 Transporter (a.k.a. Microbus), improving their functionality and build quality without altering their basic design. Like Henry Ford before him, Nordhoff preferred to perfect a fundamentally archaic automobile rather than risk anything new.

Modern Top of the Line MiG Design Bureau

The MIG Design Bureau and plant. is the country's major producer of jet fighter aircraft. It developed the family of technologically advanced MiG aircraft, including the Soviet Union's first jet fighter. The MiG design bureau is part of the state-owned multifirm aerospace complex VPK MAPO (Military-Industrial Complex-Moscow Aircraft Production). The MiG company was founded as an independent design department in December 1939 by Artem Mikoyan, a young aviation designer who had grown up in a remote Asian village. Mikoyan had worked as a mechanic in the 1920s before graduating from a military academy in 1937. He worked briefly in the late 1930s for Nikolai Polikarpov, a famous Soviet aviation designer. When Mikoyan began his independent work in 1939, he joined forces with Mikhail Gurevich, an accomplished aeronautical engineer who had recently visited the United States to negotiate a license to build a Soviet version of the Douglas DC-3. Mikoyan and Gurevich's first design was the I-200 high altitude interceptor that eventually bore the name MiG-1, standing for the first letters of each of their names and the "i" in the middle for the Russian word for "and."

Autonomously Patrolling Robot Lifeguard Swims at 28 MPH

You’re caught by the ocean’s riptide, exhausted and barely keeping your head above water. Then your unlikely hero appears: a four-foot-long talking buoy. It’s EMILY, the robot lifeguard. Grab on, and it can bring you safely back to shore. This summer, EMILY (for EMergency Integrated Lifesaving lanYard) began patrolling Malibu’s dangerous Zuma Beach and will watch over about 25 more by December. Although lifeguards operate this version by remote control, next year’s model will autonomously save potential drowning victims as reliably as a human. Once a lifeguard tosses EMILY into the surf, its sonar device will scan for the underwater movements associated with swimmers in distress. Its electric, Jet Ski–like impeller drives it at 28 mph through even the roughest chop, getting a flotation device—itself—to victims six times as fast as a lifeguard would. The ’bot’s camera and speakers will let an onshore lifeguard calm the person and instruct him to wait for human help or to hold on as EMILY ferries him back.
