There's a cool funicular in Kiyv! Except that it stops at 11pm, so keep that in mind if your hosts want to spend a late night walking around downtown, and your partner has a bad knee.

Yeah, the problem is when you get to the bottom of that slope at 11:15pm, and your hosts don't know enough English to explain what's going on, and now you're half carrying a 200+ lb man whose leg doesn't work up said cobblestones.

I'm sure you guys remember the underground gas line explosion in Durham, NC from a month or two ago. I have a project located around the corner so I decided to snap a photo of how the site currently looks.



I also checked out the famous 11'8 bridge, which is a block away, but it is decidedly less photogenic when there isn't a box truck jammed under it.

That's all fine. But they should have also said to make sure the trailer latches to the tractor.

Good chance of blowing the tires on the drives if they actually hooked up.

Also good luck cranking the landing gear.

During the construction of the Mount Washington Cog Railway (ok this isn't exactly the same as a funicular, but w/e) in the 1860's rather than hike back down at the end of their shifts the workers would instead affix a homemade contraption called the Devil's Shingle to the center rail and ride the 3.5 miles down at speeds up to 60 mph.

The practice was officially banned in 1910 after someone died.


Here's a fun and short podcast episode about it.

Crews responded to the Devon Tower in downtown Oklahoma City at around 7:45 a.m. local time.

The Oklahoma City Fire department was able to secure the basket as of 8:25 a.m., and the two window washers were safe by 8:49 a.m.

Well, now every street and outdoor area is closed for a block every way except west (because there's another skyscraper there). That includes the entire Myriad Gardens and the streetcars. Good, I guess?

Now that I think about it I'm pretty sure I confused funiculars and rack railways anyway. They're both awesome.
