‘The Falling Man’s descent into eternity lasted about 10 seconds.
Falling Man.
Richard Drew, a photojournalist on assignment with the Associated Press who had been preparing to photograph a fashion show that morning but who was quickly dispatched to the towers by his editor, managed to snap a 12-frame sequence of the figure in free fall. Like hundreds others that morning who were forced out from the upper floors of the Twin Towers by unbearable heat and smoke and the lack of any escape by stairs or roof, he appears in Drew’s sort of flip-book chronicle to be tumbling wildly out of control, the wind and sheer velocity of the dive ripping off a white tunic just moments before certain death.’
A group of teenagers in Kiev climbs a suspension bridge pylon—without a safety rope in sight. One teen is wearing a camera mounted on his head; he passes a friend with her legs wrapped, Spider-Man-style, in the bridge’s cables. She’s wearing sandals, the Telegraph notes. Spoiler alert: The group makes it to the top, and since the video’s been posted, we can assume they made it back down.
For the benefit of those who are not familiar with Indian Polity,anything uttered or written favorably(even if it is fact/the Truth) about the majority Community,read Hindus or conversely if anything that is unsavory about Minority Community,read Muslims(even if it be calling Bin laden as a terrorist) is looked upon as Non-Secular.
Narendra Modi‘s alleged inaction to contain the state-wide riots triggered by the Godhratrain carnage, the Supreme Court and referred the matter to the concerned magistrate here for a decision.
Congress has been raking up cases like these with the so-called whistle-blowers, to embarrass Narendra Modi, who ,among the Lilliputians in BJP (after Vajpayee and LK Advani have for all purposes closed their innings),stands tall in integrity and Good Administration.
Now that the Supreme Court has delivered its verdict, will the Congress call the Apex Court as ‘Non-Secular?’

Tuguska has been the focal point of many speculations.
Eric von Daniken in His Book’ Return to The Stars‘ deals with this issue from the angle of extra-terrestrial invasion.
What caused the impact and why has been puzzling.
Still there is no answer.
How the Tunguska object may have appeared.
Here is the full story.
One hundred and three years ago today, on the night of 30 June and 1 July, one of the most extraordinary events in modern history occurred.
The first reports of a strange glow in the sky came from across Europe. Shortly after midnight on 1 July 1908, Londoners were intrigued to see a pink phosphorescent night sky over the capital. People who had retired awoke confused as the strange pink glow shone into their bedrooms. The same ruddy luminescence was reported over Belgium. The skies over Germany were curiously said to be bright green, while the heavens over Scotland were of an incredible intense whiteness which tricked the wildlife into believing it was dawn. Birdsong started and cocks crowed – at two o’clock in the morning. The skies over Moscow were so bright, photographs were taken of the streets without using a magnesium flash. A captain on a ship on the River Volga said he could see vessels on the river two miles away by the uncanny astral light. One golf game in England almost went on until four in the morning under the nocturnal glow, and in the following weekThe Times of London was inundated with letters from readers from all over the United Kingdom to report the curious ‘false dawn’. A woman in Huntingdon wrote that she had been able to read a book in her bedroom solely by the peculiar rosy light. There were hundreds of letters from people reporting identical lighting conditions that went on for weeks… (Tom Slemen)
Aftermath of the Tunguska explosion
None of the people witnessing this strange phenomenon had any idea that, in the central Siberian plateau, just after 7:15 a.m. local time, the planet had been hit by a cometary impactor that exploded – as most such impactors do – in the atmosphere just above the Earth’s surface.
