Deadly Blast At Power Plant - Italy

Three people have died and four are missing following an explosion at a hydroelectric power plant in northern Italy. The blast occurred underwater at the plant on Lake Suviana, 70km from the city of Bologna on Tuesday April 9, 2024. Rescuers have said they were unlikely to find any survivors as the area of the explosion is located 30m (100ft) below the surface of the lake and is now entirely flooded. Five people were seriously injured. They are known to have suffered severe burns following the explosion and were flown to nearby hospitals by helicopter. Two men have been taken to an intensive care unit, according to Italian media. The three victims of the disaster - all contractors - were aged between 36 and 73. Unconfirmed reports say two were from the south of Italy, while one was Romanian. Photo by Fotogramma/IPA/ABACAPRESS.COM

A strong earthquake struck off the coast of Taiwan, 18km south-southeast of Hualien City, on Wednesday morning, April 3. According to USGS, it was an earthquake with a magnitude of 7.4. The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) urged residents around Okinawa Island, Miyakojima Island, and Yaeyama Island to evacuate immediately, warning of high waves up to 3 meters (9.8 ft). This video shows a tsunami warning being announced in Japanese and English near the U.S. military base in Chatan, Okinawa.

Radia's Windrunner Takes Title Of World's Largest Plane

Handout rendering showsWindRunner, a new plane being developed by Colorado-based energy startup Radia. The 108-m (356-ft) long Radia Windrunner is designed to transport cargo too big for the road, to short, semi-prepared airstrips on rough terrain. It would dwarf the majestic 84-m (275-ft) long Antonov An-225 Mriya, which is sadly no longer with us. With the notable exception of the Large Hadron Collider, there's really no machine in history with single parts larger than today's mammoth wind turbines. Some offshore turbines, for example, are being built with blades more than 140 m (459 ft) long. One of the reasons why they're not getting to this scale on dry land is that it's damn near impossible to move blades this size on the road. Size really matters in wind power, where the swept area of your turbine is the key factor in how much energy you can harvest. The tips of the blades sweep a larger area than the sections closest to the hub, so there's a disproportionate area gain to be made for every bit of lengt
