Crane Collapses As Fire Crews Battle Multiple Blazes - Vancouver

People look at debris after an explosion from a fire on West 41st Avenue in Vancouver, BC, Canada on Tuesday, August 6, 2024. An out-of-control fire destroyed an apartment building under construction in Vancouver’s Dunbar neighbourhood on Tuesday and then spread to several nearby homes, totally engulfing one of them. The blaze was so intense it caused a construction crane to crash down across West 41st Avenue, taking out trolley lines and power lines and leading to power outages south of the road. Thick plumes of smoke and large chunks of burning embers drifted west, east and north across the surrounding blocks. Photo by Ethan Cairns/CP/ABACAPRESS.COM

To ensure safety operation, power supply technicians Wan Shankun, who was born in the 1980s, and Jin Chongjun, who was born in the 1990s, conducted daily inspections of power transmission lines and removed chunks of ice on the lines at an ice observation station in Huangfan Village.

Nasa Reveals First Look At Asteroid Sample

Handout photo dated September 26, 2023 shows OSIRIS REx Asteroid Sample Return lid opening at Building 31 Astromaterials Curation Facility. Nasa officials in Houston displayed images of salt-and-pepper chunks of rock and particles of dark space dust that were brought back to Earth from the asteroid, Bennu, and described initial scientific observations about the material. The mission, Osiris-Rex, concluded in September when a capsule containing the collection of asteroid samples re-entered through the Earth’s atmosphere and was recovered in the Utah desert. As technicians pried into the external container, they found that some of the material leaked out. Scientists were able to perform a quick analysis that revealed some early findings. The asteroid bits included waterlogged clay minerals. Their presence could help solve how Earth became a water planet. Asteroids similar to Bennu may have crashed into Earth, filling our oceans.
