Jetman Flies in Formation with Two Jet Planes



“Jetman” Yves Rossy recently flew in formation over the Swiss Alps alongside two jet aircraft from the Breitling Jet Team.

Rossy, outfitted with a sturdy wing and four jet engines, jumped off a helicopter to begin his flight. He flew alongside the two L-39C Albatros jets using only his body movements to execute the midair maneuvers. The jets and their pilots are part of the Breitling Jet Team, a civilian aerobatics team.

India Talent Show - Warriors of Goja



The 'Warriors Of Goja' blew away the audience of the Indian talent show Adhurs by chewing glass, breaking boards on each other's bodies, and smashing clay pots on their abs with axes, among other feats.

The group of Sikh men put on a stunning performance, showing remarkable endurance as they withstood beatings from wooden sticks and being run over by a car.

According to International Business Times, the Warriors of Goja won 300,000 rupees, or about $5,800 USD. However, they did not make it to the show's finals.

Ghost Town - Hashima Island, Japan

The island was populated from 1887 to 1974 as a coal mining facility. It had 5,259 inhabitants and was made by the Mitsubishi Company. It was once the most crowded city in the world with 5,259 inhabitants, and then it got abandoned. Now the only life it has are small animals and some visitors.

The black and white photos add a sense of despair to the abandoned cityscape, I think the beautiful photographs in this gallery warrant a second look.
