Video of this is pretty funny.

 

 

A lifeguard competition turned into a real-life rescue after a small plane crashed into the Pacific Ocean near a popular beach in southern California.

 

Video shows the single-engine Piper Club plane slowly descending from the air, almost gliding into the water, as it crashed near the Huntington Beach shoreline.

Russian chess robots just as reliable as Russian everything else.

 

A chess-playing robot broke a child's finger during a tournament in Russia last week, with the incident being captured in CCTV footage.

 

The robot grabbed the seven-year-old boy's finger because it was confused by his overly-quick movements, Russian media outlets reported, quoting the President of the Moscow Chess Federation - who seemingly blamed the child.

A historic day is coming up tomorrow in Croatia. After decades of speculation, planning, delays, breaking ground, then stopping the project entirely (due to the 2008-09 recession!!!), and then finally restarting it in 2018 with EU funds... The Pelješac Bridge will finnally be opened, and therefore, all Croatian land area will be connected at last.

 

Just to emphasize how big of a deal this is, a special Opening ceremony will be held tomorrow evening, which will be broadcast on the national television.

 

I have known of this project basically all my life, so yeah, feels unreal that finally it is here. :d

So no need to speculate where next year’s Tour of Croatia is going.  :cycling:

Opening ceremony is nearing its climax.

 


I can see a priest there, presumably to bless the bridge. Well it’s better than having Thomas Bach :d

Russian priest hits Ukrainian priest 

 

Don't they have people to indoctrinate or something instead of hitting each other? :p

    • I think I can live with the draw , not a bad group at all. just a week ago our mafia coach said his dream group is Belgium, Egypt and Haiti, he almost got that !   but it's really hard for me (and so many others) to cheer for this team, A mafia boss coach, disgusting group of players. I never had this feeling about any NT in any sport before but still the national team is the national team. you have to like it  coaches and players come and go, the team is what matters.   if the team makes it to the competition, I'm sure there will be lots of Iranians in the stadium despite the orange's ban, that will never be a problem. 
    • Belgium is the luckiest in this story
    • One of the worst possible draw for us. Group really easy but having to face  or  in the Round of 32 is devastating.
    • Always dreamed Gretzky will draw Slovakia was another moment I can already remove from my things to do before die list   
    • Finland have been awful in almost all winter sports, well beside ice hockey and cross-country from time to time, for a lot of years. It's very good to see them building people to challenge for wins again. Their new coach has done wonders it seems.     
    • 14th June in Philadelphia against Cote d´Ivoire   20th June inToronto against Curacao   and 25th June in Philadeplphia to kick out  home    Not easy, but not the most difficult group. Should be okay. Vamos
