Gibraltar Airport (IATA: GIB, ICAO: LXGB) is an airport that serves the British territory of Gibraltar. It is the only airport where the runway actually intersects with a major highway. When a plane has to take off or land, traffic is shut down. The History Channel programme Most Extreme Airports ranks it as the fifth most dangerous airport in the world, along with the most dangerous in Europe.

I live in Pittsburgh, and this icy nightmare was just three days ago. It was insane all over the city. I spent the morning helping my neighbor just get out of her driveway. Seriously, when it is that icy it’s not worth getting out of bed.

Editor’s Note: We tried to confirm this story, but there was nothing we could find that refutted the incident that happened below.
A one year old child was found pregnant in Saudi Arabia. Doctors says it is definitely a unique case. Medical Science Report states, “When the mother of this child was pregnant, she had 2 fetuses inside her, but one of the fetuses grew inside the other. This is why this girl was born with the other fetus inside her womb.” In other words, the baby girl is carrying her unborn twin.

EDITOR’S NOTE: After doing some fact checks I learned that this story is partly true. There is a great article on bear.org that shares the true details behind this mammoth bear.
Trophy bear (killed in self defense).This man works for the US Forest Service in Alaska
He was out deer hunting last week when a large grizzly bear charged him from about 50 yards away. The guy emptied his 7mm Magnum semi-automatic rifle into the bear and it dropped a few feet from him. The big bear was still alive so he reloaded and shot it several times in the head.
The bear was just over one thousand six hundred pounds. It stood 12′ 6′ high at the shoulder, 14′ to the top of his head. It’s the largest grizzly bear ever recorded in the world.
Of course, the Alaska Fish and Wildlife Commission did not let him keep it as a trophy, but the bear will be stuffed and mounted, and placed on display at the Anchorage airport to remind tourists of the risks involved when in the wild.
Based on the contents of the bear’s stomach, the Fish and Wildlife Commission established the bear had killed at least two humans in the past 72 hours including a missing hiker.
The US Forest Service, backtracking from where the bear had originated, found the hiker’s
38-caliber pistol emptied. Not far from the pistol were the remains of the hiker. The other body has not been found.
Although the hiker fired six shots and managed to hit the grizzly with four shots (the Service ultimately found four 38 caliber slugs along with twelve 7mm slugs inside the bear’s dead body), it only wounded the bear and probably angered it immensely.
The bear killed the hiker an estimated two days prior to the bear’s own death by the gun of the Forest Service worker.
Think about this: If you are an average size man; you would be level with the bear’s navel when he stood upright. The bear would look you in the eye when it walked on all fours! To give additional perspective, consider that this particular bear, standing on its hind legs, could walk up to an average single story house and look over the roof, or walk up to a
two story house and look in the bedroom windows.
