Massive Sinkhole in Canada – 2012 is Coming!

May 12, 2010

“A family of four is missing on Tuesday morning after a huge sinkhole opened up and a house and a truck fell inside it in St. Jude, about 77 kilometres northeast of Montreal near St. Hyacinthe, Que.”

The home, located in the pastoral farmland about 75 kilometres outside of Montreal, disappeared into the sinkhole’s gaping maw around 9:30 p.m. Monday. The missing family is a mother and father in their forties and their two children, aged nine and 11. Residents identified the father as Richard Prefontaine.

Unconfirmed reports suggested that the family was in their basement when the house was swept away. Rescuers found the family dog , which according to a police spokesman had been tied to a tree outside the home and survived the slide.

Search and rescue dogs that entered the home this morning but did not find any signs of life, said National Post reporter Graeme Hamilton, who is at the scene:

“They haven’t given up hope. They’ve still got ambulances standing by. There have been lots of examples of natural disasters where, for one reason or another, people aren’t able to communicate but end up being found.”

Herman Gagnon, a neighbour, tells Canwest News Service that he heard a loud, mysterious groan last night. He initially thought it was an earthquake. source

Next Gen space suit revealed by Red Bull

April 13, 2010

“The Red Bull Stratos science team has unveiled the first space suit ever to be produced by David Clark Company for a non-governmental space program. The team has also revealed the pressure helmet, which with the suit will serve as Felix Baumgartners sole life-support system when he steps off his capsule at 120,000 feet to attempt a record-breaking freefall from the edge of space.

This next-generation gear was manufactured by Massachusetts-based David Clark Company Incorporated, which has pioneered air and space crew protective equipment since 1941, including launch entry suits for Space Shuttle astronauts and the iconic suit that United States Air Force Colonel (Ret.) Joe Kittinger wore on his historic Excelsior III jump in 1960.”

Mission to the Edge of Space

January 28, 2010

“The mission, Red Bull Stratos, will take renowned athlete Felix Baumgartner to at least 120,000 feet above the earth, to the very edge of Space.

From there, he will attempt a stratospheric free fall jump – the longest in the history of man – and hopefully will become the first human to break the speed of sound with his own body.

I would pay major $$ to watch this mission.
