#China's roads: two innocent souls chatting at an intersection, abruptly cut short by a reckless driver.

Both lives lost in an instant. The man was drinking in broad daylight—clearly, some drivers need a refresher on responsible behavior. Also, the middle of the road is not a safe place to have a chat.

#France (29 June 2024) That was probably a positive #flash. I doubt a normal lightning bolt would have been able to vaporize an entire tree trunk like this, they often just debark the the tree and crack it.

Positive lightning makes up less than 5% of all strikes. However, despite a significantly lower rate of occurrence, positive #lightning is particularly dangerous for several reasons. Since it originates in the upper levels of a storm, the amount of air it must burn through to reach the ground usually much greater.

Therefore, its electric field typically is much stronger than a negative strike. Its flash duration is longer, and its peak charge and potential can be ten times greater than a negative strike; as much as 300,000 amperes and one billion volts!

Hug a tree today. You never know if it will be gone tomorrow.

Worker gets crushed..
Bare feet was the least of their safety lapses.

(What kind of reaction time is that? It's like they couldn't give a shit what happened, near the end they're like "hmm maybe we should at least try to lift this shit off of him? ...maybe???".)

Adoptive mom Avantae Deven is facing capital punishment for abusing and k*lling her two adopted children in North #Carolina.

Blake and London Deven had not been seen for years and they were never reported missing.

#Police were tipped off when they responded to a call at Deven's home where a child had attempted to end their life. The child said "he hadn't seen his brother Blake Deven in about five years and the last time he saw him he had a broken arm."

Investigators say the kids were kept in a small, dark room and were given very little food. If they wrote apology letters for their behavior, they could earn food.

Blake Deven was last seen in 2022 at a Walmart and London Deven was last seen in 2019 in Fayetteville.

Deven allegedly disposed of their remains in a burn pit in the backyard. Investigators say they found human remains in the metal burn battle of a girl between 15-19 and a boy between 7 -10.

London would have been 27-years-old. Blake would have been 17.

Standing in a waterfall during #monsoon.

On Camera, Family Of 7 Swept Away In Swollen Waterfall Near #Mumbai.

Only two of them managed to swim back. Rescuers have recovered three bodies so far and the search and rescue op will resume at daybreak tomorrow.

Like hundreds of tourists who throng this hill town during the monsoons, the family went picnicking at the waterfall near the backwaters of the Bhusi Dam this afternoon. Heavy rains in the region since early morning caused the dam to overflow, which increased the flow of water in the waterfall.

Terrifying visuals of the family's last minutes showed them standing on a rock in the middle of the rhapsodic falls, holding on to each other and hoping to move against the tide and onto the land.

In less than a minute, the sheer force of the rushing water overpowered them and swept them away downstream as they screeched and screamed for help.
