This is not a lost Space Marines’ prop from an Aliens movie

This is not a lost Space Marines' prop from an Aliens movie

It’s a new gun industry invention: a "NY legal" 50-round five-magazine part for the AR-15 semi-auomatic air cooled rifle. I can’t understand how can this be legal in NY or anywhere else*. Just look at the description from The Truth About Guns—you can’t miss it:

Russia is developing ground drone army—including amphibious models

Russia is developing weaponized ground drones, including some big amphibious models like the one you can see here. Add the thousands of combat air drones from many nations already flying through the world and it’s not crazy to think in a full robotic war happening before 2020 somewhere in the world.

Atomic scientists: We're still dangerously close to the apocalypse

Each year since 1945, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists sends a letter to the UN Security Council in which they tell them how close we are from nuclear holocaust using a Doomsday Clock. In 1960 we were two minutes from midnight. Their new 2014 report says we’re still five minutes from the Apocalypse. "Five minutes is too close," they say.

This "backpack cannon" will come handy in the zombie apocalypse

KitUp’s headline for the new Smith & Wesson .460-caliber revolver is "Smith & Wesson Unveils Backpack Cannon." Judging by its size, it looks like a hand cannon to me, yes. Or like a power tool that can kill you.

Crazy Boeing 767 pilot takes off on tiny runway after emergency landing

"Aviation history in the making," says the YouTube description. I don’t know about that, but it’s pretty crazy to watch this Ethiopian Airlines’ Boeing 767-300ER taking off in a shockingly short distance at Arusha Airport, in Tanzania. That runway is only 5,351 feet (1,631 meters) long.

Amazing video of a six-barreled Minigun firing in super-slow motion

Amazing video of a six-barreled Minigun firing in super-slow motion

When the six-barreled electrically-powered Dillon Aero M134D Minigun fires, you can only see a terrifying blurry vomit of death coming out of it. In super-slow motion, however, this lethal machine looks fascinating. Especially when it’s only destroying an old car from an helicopter.

Astonishing satellite image shows China covered with pollution

The smog situation in China is getting even worse, with pollution levels as high as 30 times the limits set by the World Health Organization. Check out this image taken in late December, 2013 by NASA’s Terra satellite. You can’t barely see anything because of the crap floating in the air. It gets even worse at full size:

Watch how America is getting frozen in this time-lapse from space

Hercules, Ion, evil polar vortexes and Disney movie marketing—the winter has come and United States is freezing. Scientists expect temperatures not recorded in two decades, as low as -30F (-34C). Here you can see it happening from space using NASA’s Aqua and Terra satellites.

Holy crap, this train derailment created a massive freaking explosion

Holy crap, this train derailment created a massive freaking explosion

Oh my. This is beyond scary. A mile-long train carrying crude oil derailed near a small town in North Dakota and sent explosions, flames and dark black smoke into the sky. Luckily (and almost unbelievably), no one was hurt in the accident that looked a lot more like a nuke exploding than a train derailment. Thank god.
