China: Delivery Rider Surfs Through Flooded Streets Bouncing on Scooter in Zhengzhou

This impressive video was filmed in Zhengzhou, Henan Province, on May 16, 2026. After a heavy downpour overwhelmed the city’s drainage system, streets were submerged under dozens of centimeters of water, bringing traffic to a standstill. One fearless delivery rider refused to let the flood stop him. Standing with both feet on the scooter seat, he grips the brakes and throttle tightly. The scooter glides like a tiny motorboat through the water, while he bounces forward like a frog, bravely delivering packages in the flooded streets.

The World's Most Powerful Hypergravity Machine - China

Staff members manage the operation of the centrifuge coded CHIEF1300 via a safety monitoring system in Hangzhou, east China's Zhejiang Province, on September 29, 2025. China on Monday launched the world's largest centrifuge in terms of capacity, capable of generating 300 times Earth's gravity for a load up to 20 tonnes. The machine, coded CHIEF1300, is one of the core components of the Centrifugal Hypergravity and Interdisciplinary Experiment Facility (CHIEF) currently under construction in Hangzhou, east China's Zhejiang Province. It can be harnessed for frontier research spanning deep-ocean and deep-Earth resources extraction, disaster mitigation and prevention, underground waste disposal, and the synthesis of new materials.

Apollo 13 Return

Hickham AFB, HI - (FILE) -- United States President Richard M. Nixon, right center, and the Apollo 13 crew salute U.S. flag during the post-mission ceremonies at Hickam Air Force Base, Hawaii. Earlier, the astronauts John Swigert, right, Jim Lovell, left center, and Fred W. Haise, left, were presented the Presidential Medal of Freedom by the Chief Executive. Apollo 13, launched on April 11, 1970, was NASA's third manned mission to the moon. Two days later on April 13 while the mission was en route to the moon, a fault in the electrical system of one of the Service Module's oxygen tanks produced an explosion that caused both oxygen tanks to fail and also led to a loss of electrical power. The command module remained functional on its own batteries and oxygen tank, but these were usable only during the last hours of the mission. The crew shut down the Command Module and used the Lunar Module as a "lifeboat" during the return trip to earth. Despite great hardship caused by limited power, loss of cabin heat, and

A fireworks festival in Yokohama’s Minato Mirai district descended into chaos on Monday evening, August 4, when two of eight launch barges caught fire, forcing the event's cancellation. Five crew members jumped into the sea and were rescued; one sustained minor injuries. About 20,000 fireworks had been scheduled, but the blaze — reportedly caused by a launch system malfunction — continued firing briefly despite attempts to stop it. The fire was extinguished by Tuesday morning, and police and the coast guard are investigating.
