Watch The Insane Emergency Landing This Plane Had To Make OMG!
A Boeing 767 can carry upwards of 375 passengers on any given flight. It’s a large, wide-bodied passenger plane that was invented for the sole purpose of carrying more people to their destinations quicker. But when this Boeing 767’s landing gear failed, the crew had to prepare for an emergency landing that’ll have you on the edge of your seat. Luckily, the 231 passengers were in the hands of a 30-year veteran pilot, Tadeusz Wrona. He expertly communicated the situation to air traffic controllers and flew the 767 to safety without injuring a single person aboard the plane. Watch the whole thing happen! (via Reddit) Everyone got off the plane unharmed and the touchdown seemed to be relatively smooth…as far as emergency landings go. I bet quite a few people on that plane were pretty apprehensive when they took their next flight. Read more: http://www.viralnova.com/emergency-plane-landing/

What Astronauts Heard On The Moon Is Incredibly Eerie — Is This For Real?
Going to the moon is a goal for almost every astronaut, and in the late 1960s, humans accomplished that goal for the first time. It was a monumental technological breakthrough. Many people thought that we would never do it, but in the heat of the Cold War, America made it to the moon. On our journeys since, some irregularities have occurred. Take these sounds, for example. Bizarre noises were heard on the dark side of the moon, and as you’ll hear in the video below, they were absolutely chilling. (via Unexplained Mysteries) If that doesn’t give you the willies, I don’t know what will. I have to hand it to those brave astronauts for going up there. Space travel is clearly creepy.

Food Porn Is Not Always Appetizing
Once you see how the sausage is made, they say, you probably won’t want to eat it. A photographer named Peter Augustus created a photo series that shows popular food dishes next to their raw animal counterparts. It’s … eye-opening, to say the least. Elliott gives his take on it in the newest episode of Mashable Minute. Last week, we strongly persuaded you to not have sex with a shark.

This Insane Video Reveals The True Depths Of Human Stupidity…Just WHY?
Have you ever thought to yourself, “Hey you know what would be an awesome idea? Jumping into alligator-infested waters and taunting them with a dinosaur costume!!” No? Me neither. If you’re a functioning adult with even half a brain, then chances are that your basic survival instincts would kick in and tell you to stop being a lunatic. However, if you’re 35-year old Jason McDonald, the answer was simple. He thought, “Yes. Give me the dino suit and I’ll do the thing.” With a fish in hand, the man teases the alligator with a light snack while showing a general disregard for his own life. If you were searching the internet for a prime example of human stupidity, look no further! Read More: This Kitten Had A Bump On Its Head. What They Pulled Out Of It Will Make You Queasy If McDonald’s gator video made you feel just a little bit better about yourself, share this with a friend who also needs to find solace in someone else’s insanity.

These Taiwanese Fishermen Prove We’ve Been Fishing Incorrectly All These Years
googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display(‘VN_PG_DTAT_ATF’); }); Let me be the first to tell you that the fishing methods of these Taiwanese fishermen might be a bit unconventional, but they reap insane rewards. For hundreds of years, fishermen in Taiwan have been using a technique called fire fishing to catch sardines. The technique involves lighting bamboo sticks on fire and holding them over the sides of their fishing boats. Although it may sound a bit odd, the act of fire fishing is just as visually stimulating as it is mind-boggling. Facebook / 新北漁樂快爆 The trick to fire fishing is using sulfuric soil on the ends of the bamboo. That produces an epic spectacle that sends the sardines jumping toward the fishermen’s nets without the use of bait or fishing poles. googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display(‘VN_PG_DCBM_BTF’); }); Facebook / 新北漁樂快爆 In Taiwan, sardine season only lasts from May to July, so job security is only seasonal. For that reason, interest in fishing for sardines has diminished over the years. There were once over 300 sardine boats practicing fire fishing, but now there are only three. Facebook / 新北漁樂快爆 On average, a fire fisherman can catch upwards of three or four tons of sardines per trip and can make around $4,500 a night. Pictures don’t do this amazing feat justice. Check out the video below: You know what they say: No risk, no reward. These people certainly take that philosophy to heart! Read more: http://www.viralnova.com/fire-fishing/

She Was On Medication After Oral Surgery, So Her Brothers Decided To Prank Her
Most people know that the first few hours after surgery are usually a little…well…foggy. After all, waking up from anaesthesia and taking pain pills for a few days thereafter is enough to make anyone loopy. And that’s why these two brothers decided to play a prank on their sister who had just gotten her wisdom teeth removed. Listen to what they talked her into believing on the car ride home. Ah, siblings. They’re as evil as they are hilarious. As far as pranks go, this one is pretty impressive. They even talked Mom into playing along! Better luck next time, Millicent.
