Viral Video of the Week from Internet:
Coalmine Insight
There were lots of articles about some plants and factories, but unfortunately most of them were deserted and abandoned. Today we will bring you an insight into the equally time-worn and moth-eaten plant but just with one little difference. It is not abandoned. At least not to the death.
Fearsome Buratino
There is a quite exotic weapon in Russian army – a heavy flame-throwing system HFS-1 Buratino. According to the data provided by the Russian arms company, its barrage destroys everything that lives within a radius of 3 kilometers around its target. Its ammunition contains mixture of liquids (propyl nitrate type) and light metals (magnesium powder). During the flight of such ammunition the mixture is being interfused with internal device in order to gain uniformity.
Dragunov Sniper Rifle
This grave-looking thing is a sniper rifle and is designed for extermination of any emerging, open, masking and any other targets in motion. It is a self-loading rifle and accurate fire is provided in single shots. The size of ammo is 7,62*54R (3 inches in length and 54mm in radius.)
Popov – Champion, Marconi – Impostor
Over a hundred years there is an argument in the world concerning real radio inventor. But one needs to do a little research to make it clear that Marconi had simply read Popov’s papers.
The first known evidence for Marconi to be the radio inventor appeared on June 2, 1896 with his patent application to the UK Patent Office for a discovery, 13 months after Popov had delivered his lecture on radio themes before the Russian Physical and Chemical Society members in St. Petersburg on May 7, 1895. That secret patent application #12039, inspired as they say by the UK Patent Office’s Principal examiner William Preece, the Chief Electrical Engineer of the British Post Office, however contained no diagrams and charts performed by Marconi himself but his lyrical sketches only.
Distilled Water Machine
Municipal journalists were preparing a report about a local constructor. He showed some of his works and one of them was the machine for water purification. Let’s watch!
How these giants are being made
Cars are absolutely different. There are some very small cars like smart and also there are really big cars. Really goddamn big cars like these BELAZ ones. They are made for above-ground means, and each of them is a real rock handler.
Unknown Foggy Object
What you see on those photos is a Windows XP error box floating in thin air. That’s not photoshop or post effect of too much vodka.
That night there was strong fog in this Ukrainian city so due to it such an awesome illusion of windows in the skies appeared - there was an advertisement screen nearby and it went out of order.
Another Reality: the Forgotten World
Times of the Soviet Union passed long ago, but it left some things behind. This is a story of the forgotten world and all of its tricky and unearthly makings which keep standing still and untouched around the whole land of already new country. The spots described in this article are not the places where people usually hang out… at least most of them.
Casino Flight
As we mentioned before sometime ago all casinos were banned in Russia except some special zones located far from civilization and no actual casinos were yet built there.
People doubted about those special zones rationality cause its much easier to take a flight to some nearby country than to this zone.
So apparently such flights appeared and on of the shortest routes were to Belarus - just an hour flight from Moscow. One of such flights which took a group of vip players to the grand opening of new casino crashed right near the Minsk airport few hundred meters away from destination point.
