In the 20th century the USA suffered twice from hurricanes of the 5th category (in 1935 and 1969) and 14 times they were attacked by the hurricanes of the 4th category. An average hurricane leaves damages that are worth 300 million dollars.



The most destructive hurricane was Andrew in 1992, the USA has lost 26.5 billion dollars and 250 thousand people were left homeless. Luckily there were no fatal cases, but all the train crashes video clips aren’t twice that scary as a the hurricane. And the second strongest hurricane was Hugo in 1989: it has left the state of South Carolina very much destroyed. There was a loss of 7 billion dollars, 809 thousand houses were destroyed and – the saddest part of the hurricane – 39 people died. This September it will be 20 years since these terrible events happened.



Hurricanes are typical for the eastern coast of the USA and the northern coast of the Gulf of Mexico. Nowadays scientists have developed quite precise methods of predicting the oncoming hurricane and it give people some time to evacuate from the dangerous area. Nevertheless, it doesn’t stop disasters from happening. It is said that every 7-9 years hurricanes activate in the northern Atlantic, and the scientists are sure that such activity will happen during next 20 or 30 years.



Some Analytics say that storms and hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico are the reason of the growing stock price of oil. Information on the hurricanes also affects the price of such agricultural products as cotton, sugar, wheat, orange juice and coffee.

“An Amtrak passenger train carrying about 170 people struck a car that had skirted a gate at a road crossing, killing all five people in the sedan…”

“A 19-year-old man drove a car into the path of an Amtrak train, killing himself and four young friends…”

There can be hardly found a month in the life of our planet that has passed without people hearing such words from their TVs or reading about such accidents on the Internet or in the newspapers. The further is our progress, the more dangerous world we create - the world where watching self defense martial arts videos is not enough to survive. Somewhere inside people are still just some creatures that don’t know anything about the rules and risk their lives unreasonably, hoping that they will be lucky this time. There are also a lot of careless drivers that deem that road signals, traffic lights and roadway gates are not for them.

How many times have you seen something like this?



How many lives are taken away just because of people’s carelessness and inattention?



Though here I give you the clips where no one is said to be killed, only injured, nevertheless, there are lot of fatal cases with a sadder ending. We should all take care. There are special road signs, roadway gates and other ways of warning everybody that a train is coming. Trains are essential in our live – they carry a lot of goods and resources and serve as a convenient means of transport, but if we check the list of rail accidents (since the year of 2000 only) – we will find a huge number of train crashes. These iron giants are huge and heavy, they can’t stop straight away, but we CAN.



We all fear death but it looks like some of us love to play with it. How can we be so unconcerned about our safety? What shocked me on this video, that there were family cars, and probably, there were kids inside.



Thousands of commercials are being created in order to save our lives and in hope that we will look, listen and live.

Modern world is full of dangers: busy roads, roaming rivers, shark attacks, lightning and electicity strikes and so on. But there is still another danger – the man itself. Homo homini lupus est, or in other words – we all live in a dog-eat-dog world where you can be robbed, raped and killed if you don’t take precautions and don’t learn how to defend yourself.

If you care about your safety and the safety of your family and friends, then you can learn some self defense tricks from different martial arts. Taking up a course can be very helpful in dangerous situations; moreover, it’s a very efficient way of spending your free time, a sort of a hobby that you can enjoy and share with other people.

Below you may see some examples of self-defense. But let’s hope that you’ll never need to put these tips to practice.







But taking up martial arts is not the only solution. If you happen to get in a dangerous situation by bad luck then you should remember that action is important. Don’t mull over what to do – do something right away. Bad guys usually count on your unawareness and confusion; they don’t expect you to put up resistance. Don’t let them scare you. Avoid ‘bad’ places: dark streets, unknown houses and wasteland areas. It might be helpful to take some means of defense with you, if you’re going somewhere alone and in the evening. A usual penknife may save your life. But don’t try to fight if you managed to get away – use the bad guy’s confusion and simply run to the safe place. Always check behind your back if you’re in a dangerous place and avoid listening to a music player – it’s not worth loosing you money or life. Take care.

It is Monday again, and we have decided to begin a new hot working week with a good belly laugh. Today the main attraction of our attention will be men. We have already discussed the public oops video where the main roles were played mostly by women. But while the latter find quite easy solutions to the problem and behave as if nothing has happened, men are a bit the other way. On the other hand – men love the attention even in such silly moments, that’s why videos with them starring are sometimes way much funnier that videos with women who to cover up the accident quickly. Well, let’s watch!

Being a man is an art full of obstacles – and sweets are one of them. Who said that only women like chocolate and candies? Men are the real chocolate lovers, that’s for sure.

But the thing they like more than anything else is sports. Men can’t live without thinking about soccer, basketball, baseball, snooker etc. They probably deem that if they concentrate better on the broadcasted game their team will win. Nevertheless, while men gather to talk about sports, women get together to talk about men. Women remember everything while men don’t – that’s why some of the moments of the broadcasted sports event are usually repeated.

But still, almost all the men on earth are defenders and bread-winners, or at least, they try to be. They are working towards being strong, tough and businesslike, but in fact they are vulnerable, sensitive and funny.
