On November 10, 1975, while traveling on Lake Superior during a gale, the Fitzgerald sank suddenly in Canadian waters approximately 17 miles (15 nmi; 27 km) from the entrance of Whitefish Bay at a depth of 530 feet (160 m). Although it had reported having some difficulties before the accident, the Fitzgerald sank without sending any distress signals. Its crew of 29 perished in the sinking with no bodies being recovered. When the wreck was found, it was discovered that the Fitzgerald had broken in two.

The sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald is the most famous disaster in the history of Great Lakes shipping. The disaster was the subject of Gordon Lightfoot’s 1976 hit song, “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald”.

Although the Giant sinkhole is not new to Guatemala as even in year 2007 a Giant sink hole of 330 feet deep swallowing Guatemala Homes was reported by National geographic. 330 feet was equivalant to a 30 storied building or more than two times the statue of Liberty.

What causes Giant sinkholes?

There can be many reasons, but the main reasons at Guatemala are:

• Rainstorms and ruptured sewer main can cause the sinkhole
• Underground rocks that can be dissolved by water for example salt, gypsum, and limestone are inundated
• Removal of groundwater can also leave gaps underground that can lead to sinkholes

Sinkholes even happen in USA or UK. If you know similar incidents – report here by writing in comments below.

Natalie Dylan

Natalie Dylan is a 22-year-old student from San Diego, California, who came to fame in September 2008, when she announced on the Howard Stern Show that she would auction off her virginity online, and that the act would be consummated at the Moonlite BunnyRanch in Nevada. Natalie Dylan a women’s studies graduate from Sacramento State, planned to use the money to finance a Master’s degree in family and marriage therapy.

Natalie Dylan was inspired by her sister Avia who financed her own degree course working as a prostitute in the Moonlite Bunnyranch for just three weeks and earning several thousand dollars.

More than 10,000 bidders have contacted her with an offer and the highest bid had reached $3.7 million, offered by a 39 year old Australian real-estate businessman who has since had to back out, due to his wife’s dissatisfaction, and Dylan has launched a new campaign to sell her virginity.

In similar cases a German sex auction site reported that a student named Alina Percea had auctioned off her virginity for €6,650 and Rosie Reid, a lesbian 18 year old student in England sold her virginity online for £8,400.

Spanish PM daughters were dressed in Goth clothes

Photo of Spanish Prime Minister’s daughters were all over internet as soon as they were taken. The photo of spanish prime minister’s daughters highlights privacy concerns for world leaders.

Few days back Spanish PM along with his family (his wife and two daughters), had a photo session with the President of United States of America. When the picture was taken the Spanish PM probably thought he was getting an ultimate family picture taken. However what he was not aware that official US President photos get uploaded on the Flickr and shared with the world.

What was amusing was that the Spanish PM daughters were dressed in Goth clothes in these pictures. The photos of First Spanish daughter were taken off from the websites but people say that goths of Spain had already got what they wanted – popular recognition in their country – from PM’s house itself.
