Might as well pre-sh*t your pants before watching this sideways airplane landing

Just in time for the holiday season travel surge, here’s what a near-sideways aircraft landing looks like, as demonstrated by a Ryanair flight landing at Bristol Airport in a 70 MPH crosswind. Sadly, the angle of the shot doesn’t really do justice to how insanely cockeyed this landing really is….

Here’s what holiday shopping in hurricane-force wind looks like [VIDEO]

Us Norwegians are often portrayed as stubborn people. Well, we don’t care what you think and we’re not changing anyway, so shut up.

He’s done a series of public attempted self-harming stunt videos, the latest of which is an admittedly captivating and gorgeous…

Unsurprisingly, North Korea’s Pyongyang Metro system is weird [VIDEO]

If there was any question, it turns out that riding the Pyongyang Metro, North Korea is as surreal and eerie as pretty much everything else in the country. The Pyongyang Metro, the city’s pride and joy, built in the 1970s and used by some 700,000 people daily, snakes under the…

Drugged commando mice parachute onto Guam to slaughter snakes

Now that was a fun headline to write. The visual alone makes it. Alas, it’s totally true and a bit morbid. It’s estimated that 2 million brown tree snakes are on Guam. That’s roughly 13,000 snakes per square mile, a higher population density than even the Amazonian rainforest. And since…
