Flying Fighters

Fighting fires in the United Arab Emirates just got a bit of an upgrade with the introduction of a new firefighting system that includes jet skis and water-powered jetpacks.

The system, named Dolphin, was developed as a quick way for firefighters to battle blazes along waterways without having to fight their way through traffic.

A video released by Dubai Civil Defense shows a firefighter equipped with a water-powered jetpack,flying high above a burning vehicle on an unidentified highway. Once in position, he’s able to quickly and efficiently extinguish the fire.

The city hired New Zealand company Martin Aircraft to develop the system, according to Digital Trends. The city currently has 20 jetpack & It paid about $35,000 for each.

I dont know exactly how much more efficient this new system of fire extinguishment will be but it definetly  gives them more of a rating on my cool scale.

David Blaine Dodges Bullet

World renowned magician David Blaine was injured when an attempt to catch a bullet in his mouth went painfully wrong.
David was wearing a mouth guard when a metal cup that was meant to catch the bullet between his lips slipped. The bullet, which Blaine fired himself using a string, ended up shattering the protective guard, and cutting his throat in front of a live audience at Las Vegas’ MGM Grand Garden Arena.

“When the bullet struck the cup, there was a high-pitched ringing in my ear and I felt an impact on the back of my throat,” Blaine says.

“I was sure the bullet went right through my head and that I was dead, and then suddenly I became aware of the pain and it brought me back,” 

I think Blaine is very lucky and needs to reconsider this act unless he doesn't value his life that much, then he should go ahead and try it a couple more times.
