If you want to skip the build up to the aerial crash, fast forward to about the 1:15 mark on the video to see an 80-inch RC plane with 50cc gas engine hit a RC helicopter and then immediately nosedive to its destruction. The plane clips one of its wings when it hits the chopper and immediately spirals down and slams into the ground. Gnarly. Read More >>

A meteorite has just exploded over Russia. This doesn't feel good when you know that a 150-foot asteroid is about to fly by Earth — and you read about the actual effects of an impact if astronomers' calculations are wrong. 250 people have been injured, according to the BBC. The videos we are collecting are incredible. Read More >>

"In all the videos the explosion seems to be way after the meteorite comes in, too long after to be an issue with the speed of sound and there are a l..." More »
So the text string "File:///" can inexplicably crash just about any app on Mountain Lion. Aside from being a curiosity, it can also be a weapon if you start hurling File:/// salvos at your friends through iMessage. If you get hit, or you hit someone and feel bad afterwards, here's how you can fix the damage. Read More >>
Here's something a little weird and potentially hilariously fun -- there's a little eight-character code that causes pretty much any app on a Mac to crash, instantly. Writing said code, which we had to put in an image using a Windows machine, will cause your app to crash, losing anything open. Read More >>
It sounds like something out of a bad movie, but apparently an unidentified helicopter has just collided with a crane on top of a building in Vauxhall, Central London, bringing the chopper down, and the crane with it. Read More >>

"I dunno, if your helicopter is going down anyway, that's probably the best place to crash it. Soft landing and quick swim to shore.

This is completely terrifying. These guys were probably about one second from blowing up in a jet fuel fireball, but they managed to eject with only a hair standing between them and oblivion. Barely. Read More >>

You were watching the Belgian grand prix at the weekend, right? No? Well, slap your eyes on this. A twitch too far at the start from Romain Grosjean sent Hamilton into the back of him, sending the Lotus flying right over the top of Alonso's Ferrari. Boy, that was so close to his head. Read More >>
OK, so I'll admit I thought about taking my Dad's sports car for a spin or two when I was a kid, but I didn't. Judging by this video, I'm pretty glad I didn't. What happens when you let loose a teenager in a BMW M3 with a GoPro strapped to the side? Carnage, that's what. Read More >>

Boy racers are bad enough when they get behind the wheel of their first crap-box, but then they grow up and buy expensive, fast cars, and it all gets a hell of a lot worse. BMW M3 drivers are notorious; this stupid idiot shows us just why, and gets what he deserves. Read More >>

Look's like Google's really desperate to bring you pictures of literally all the nooks and crannies of the world -- so desperate in fact, it's willing to send one of its Street View cars crashing down a ravine, just to get that last shot. Or at least that's probably how the driver tells it. Read More >>
Imagine you're getting out of your house and the entire fuselage of a twin-engine Boeing CH-47 Chinook helicopter crashes right in front of you. This is exactly what happened when a Sikorsky CH-53E Super Stallion lost the Chinook it was carrying. Read More >>
This guy must be the luckiest man in Russia. After a truck swerved in front of a bus travelling at speed, forcing them both to crash straight through a petrol station, a man on the forecourt missed getting nailed by said bus by what looks like only a couple of centimetres. Wow that was close. Read More >>
Larry Hockensmith—a licensed power pilot for over 40 years, but still a student glider pilot—was flying over the Cleveland National Forest, a few miles southwest of Lake Elsinore, California, when he executed a rather dramatic and unfavourable outlanding, effectively "totaling" his Schweizer 1-26 sailplane, valued at £5,500.
