The story is simple. Some guy accidentally hit a biker with his car (nothing serious). The biker got angry and told the car driver that he will kick his ass for it. Without thinking, the car driver decided to flee the scene. While he was gone, the biker and a couple of his friends flipped the guys car, broke the headlights & the front window. Apparently police and firefighters did come but they didn’t help to solve the situation.

This video talks about a rocket named Arian 5 which had to be destroyed due to a computer error.

The ground team had to destroy the rocket due to safety issues. Later, it was discovered that it was a computer error that caused that deviation. What does this have to do with Russia you may ask? A Russian blogger has created this picture to illustrate what might of happened in the ground headquarters during the launch of the rocket. (Pic after the break)
