1932 USA, Steam Train Crash, Roosevelt Hoover Train Collision, Iowa State Fair The great train crash that saved the Iowa State Fair Connolly’s idea? Lay a section of railroad track in front of the grandstand and create a head-on collision of two locomotives, causing an earth-shaking fireball explosion the likes of which no one had ever seen. No kidding. The Fair got on board. Connolly bought a couple of old trains that were headed for the scrap heap, laid down some tracks, and set the trains on a crash course. The prospect of witnessing of a huge train wreck was too much for anyone to pass up. The first explosion in 1896 was so successful that they did it again in 1922 and 1932. Each time, the Fair drew between 40,000 and 70,000 paying visitors—huge crowds for any event in that era. https://juiceboxinteractive.com/blog/creating-an-iowa-state-fair-spectacle/

M132 Armored Flamethrower The first prototype of the vehicle was produced in August 1962 when a flamethrower was mounted on a M113. This prototype was only used in combat situations four times that year. In December 1964, the First Armored Cavalry was sent two M132 flamethrower armored vehicles. Based on combat experiences with the vehicle the Army Concept Team advised that four M132s and two M113s be shipped to each regiment. Standard operating procedure was to use the 7.62mm coaxial machine-gun to suppress the target until the M132 could be maneuvered into the flamethrower range. Sometimes a “wet burst” of unignited fuel would be sprayed into the target first, only to be ignited by a second “flaming burst.” This was found to do more damage to the target. A flamethrower is a ranged incendiary device designed to project a controllable jet of fire. First deployed by the Byzantine Empire in the 7th century AD, flamethrowers saw use in modern times during World War I, and more widely in World War II as a tactical weapon against fortifications

Congratulations to Barron Trump on graduating from high school Barron Trump, former President Donald Trump's youngest son and his only son with wife Melania Trump, is graduating high school Friday, May 17, at a private Florida high school https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2024/05/17/barron-trump-school-graduation-oxbridge-academy-palm-beach-college/73730897007/ Barron Trump (born March 20, 2006) is the youngest son of Donald Trump, the president of the United States from 2017 to 2021, and his third wife, Melania Trump Barron Trump was born on March 20, 2006, to Donald Trump and Melania Knauss. He was baptized at the Episcopal Church of Bethesda-by-the-Sea in Palm Beach, Florida. Trump was raised at Trump Tower, where he has a floor of his own, and attended Columbia Grammar and Preparatory School for his primary education.[3] Upon learning of Barron's conception in August 2005, Donald expressed surprise. Donald has expressed a fascination with the name "Barron" or "Baron", referring to himself as "the Baron" when he had an affair with Marla Maples, requesting the writer of a television series based on his real estate career refer to the main character as "Barron", and using the pseudonym "John Barron". Donald chose Trump's first name, while Melania chose his middle name. Melania has served as Barron's primary parent; according to People, Barron is her priority.[8] Melania described Barron in an ABC News interview as "not a sweatpants child" who occasionally dressed as his father while partaking in baseball games, golf events, and tennis lessons. According to Mary Jordan in The Art of Her Deal (2020), several of Donald's friends believed he was less interested in Melania after Barron was born.

A microscopic tardigrade going for a stroll through some algae. Tardigrades (/ˈtɑːrdɪɡreɪdz/) known colloquially as water bears or moss piglets, are a phylum of eight-legged segmented micro-animals.[2][6] They were first described by the German zoologist Johann August Ephraim Goeze in 1773, who called them Kleiner Wasserbär ('little water bear').In 1777, the Italian biologist Lazzaro Spallanzani named them Tardigrada (/tɑːrˈdɪɡrədə/), which means "slow steppers" Tardigrades are near-microscopic animals that can survive some of the most extreme conditions on Earth, including freezing temperatures, crushing pressures, and even the vacuum of space Tardigrades, often called water bears or moss piglets, are near-microscopic aquatic animals with plump, segmented bodies and flattened heads. They have eight legs, each tipped with four to eight claws or digits, and somewhat resemble the hookah-smoking caterpillar from "Alice in Wonderland." Though tardigrades are disarmingly cute, they are also nearly indestructible and can even survive in outer space https://www.livescience.com/57985-tardigrade-facts.html The largest adults may reach a body length of 1.5 mm (0.059 in), the smallest below 0.1 mm (0.0039 in). Newly hatched tardigrades may be smaller than 0.05 mm (0.0020 in). For comparison, grass pollen is typically 0.025–0.04 mm (0.00098–0.00157 in).

Co-pilot of the plane that dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima meets a Japanese survivor on a late night show called ‘This Is Your Life’, 1955 Hiroshima, a modern city on Japan’s Honshu Island, was largely destroyed by an atomic bomb during World War II. Today, Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park commemorates the 1945 event. On 6 and 9 August 1945, the United States detonated two atomic bombs over the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The bombings killed between 129,000 and 226,000 people, most of whom were civilians, and remain the only use of nuclear weapons in an armed conflict. Japan surrendered to the Allies on 15 August, six days after the bombing of Nagasaki and the Soviet Union's declaration of war against Japan and invasion of Japanese-occupied Manchuria. The Japanese government signed the instrument of surrender on 2 September, effectively ending the war In the early morning hours of August 6, 1945, a B-29 bomber named Enola Gay took off from the island of Tinian and headed north by northwest toward Japan. The bomber's primary target was the city of Hiroshima, located on the deltas of southwestern Honshu Island facing the Inland Sea. Hiroshima had a civilian population of almost 300,000 and was an important military center, containing about 43,000 soldiers https://www.osti.gov/opennet/manhattan-project-history/Events/1945/hiroshima.htm

How a hand grenade works A grenade is an explosive weapon typically thrown by hand (also called hand grenade), but can also refer to a shell (explosive projectile) shot from the muzzle of a rifle (as a rifle grenade) or a grenade launcher. A modern hand grenade generally consists of an explosive charge ("filler"), a detonator mechanism, an internal striker to trigger the detonator, an arming safety secured by a transport safety. The user removes the transport safety before throwing, and once the grenade leaves the hand the arming safety gets released, allowing the striker to trigger a primer that ignites a fuze (sometimes called the delay element), which burns down to the detonator and explodes the main charge. grenade, small explosive, chemical, or gas bomb that is used at short range. The word grenade probably derived from the French word for pomegranate, because the bulbous shapes of early grenades resembled that fruit. Grenades came into use around the 15th century and were found to be particularly effective when exploded among enemy troops in the ditch of a fortress during an assault. They eventually became so important that specially selected soldiers in 17th-century European armies were trained as grenade throwers, or grenadiers (see grenadier). After about 1750, grenades were virtually abandoned because the range and accuracy of firearms had increased, lessening the opportunities for close combat. Grenades did not come back into use on an important scale until the Russo-Japanese War (1904–05). The grenade’s effectiveness in attacking enemy positions during the trench warfare of World War I led to its becoming a standard part of the combat infantryman’s equipment, which it has continued to be. More than 50,000,000 fragmentation grenades alone were manufactured by the United States for use in World War II. https://www.britannica.com/technology/grenade

Porpoise Scares Little Girl Porpoises are small dolphin-like cetaceans classified under the family Phocoenidae. Although similar in appearance to dolphins, they are more closely related to narwhals and belugas than to the true dolphins. There are eight extant species of porpoise, all among the smallest of the toothed whales. Porpoises are distinguished from dolphins by their flattened, spade-shaped teeth distinct from the conical teeth of dolphins, and lack of a pronounced beak, although some dolphins (e.g. Hector's dolphin) also lack a pronounced beak. Porpoises, and other cetaceans, belong to the clade Cetartiodactyla with even-toed ungulates 5 Unique Porpoise Facts • Porpoises can live to be 23 years old, depending on their health and potential predators in their area. • While social, these mammals can usually be seen traveling in pairs or groups (shoals) of three. Although harbor porpoises are known to travel in groups of up to 100! • They are carnivores that eat mostly fish and crustaceans. It swallows its prey whole and will often alert other porpoises once it finds a food source. • Porpoises are related to both dolphins and whales. To tell the difference between a porpoise and a dolphin, look at the animal’s nose. Dolphins have beak-like noses while porpoises have shorter noses. https://a-z-animals.com/animals/harbor-porpoise/

Plasma cutting Plasma cutting is a process that cuts through electrically conductive materials by means of an accelerated jet of hot plasma. Typical materials cut with a plasma torch include steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass and copper, although other conductive metals may be cut as well. Plasma cutting is often used in fabrication shops, automotive repair and restoration, industrial construction, and salvage and scrapping operations. Due to the high speed and precision cuts combined with low cost, plasma cutting sees widespread use from large-scale industrial computer numerical control (CNC) applications down to small hobbyist shops.
