149. Mir Mine, Russia 1955-2004.

We’ve all heard of the Bermuda Triangle where aircraft seem to vanish, but in Russia this sink hole is so large that the airspace above it is off-limits to pilots. A few helicopters were sucked in the hole by downdrafts into this massive mine. The mine is 525 meters (1,722 ft) deep, and has a diameter of 1,200 m (3,900 ft), and is the second largest excavated hole in the world, after Bingham Canyon Mine. The abandoned mine is located in Mirny, Eastern Siberia, Russia.
Before the mine was closed permanently in 2004, it was producing 10,000,000 carats (2,000kg) of diamonds annually.

155. If the iceberg had been seen only 30 seconds before it was seen and the Captain was notified, the accident could have been avoided.


The four smokestacks that have become so famous, and associated with the ship. The fourth one didn't even work. It was totally just for decoration.


More than half of the lifeboats on the ship were not filled to capacity. If they had been, many more lives could have been saved.

Only one ocean liner in history has been sunk by an iceberg: Titanic.


The infamous iceberg that brought the Titanic to her knees has been floating around since around 1,000 B.C.


Comparing titanic with Modern Ship. (Oasis Of The Seas).

Bros sometimes when you are making research, you don't pick them from the floor, in the bush, or fall from the sky. You mostly refer to existing research work to create new ones. People visits Google, Encyclopaedia, Wikipedia, World Factbook to make research, and know more about the world. Writing projects in school, we make research from the long existing ones, we go online gather informations that are not yours but relevant to your research/Topics, copy them, modify them and you make your references. With this haven't you copied and pasted?
So its no big deal bro as long as its genuine.
your project supervisor taught you well. Plagiarism comes in when you copy without reference and acknowledgement.

13. The Earth is 4.56 billion years old the same
age as the Moon and the Sun.

The holy book of Christians say otherwise. The Bible posits that the earth is about 6,000 years old.

So are you gonna believe what the Bible says by faith or are you gonna belief what science has proved so clearly, by evidence.
Show evidence for the biblical claim.

on his deathbed, fela requested that weed/igbo should be served at his funeral.


weed/igbo is the only plant/ drug endorsed by the gods, that is why the whiteys frantically rebuffs its proliferation. If every african smokes weed, we will experience unparalleled peace and tranquility, unprecedented technological, economical and phylosophical advancement and we will threaten their superiority in every ramification, thereby militating against their imperialist agenda.


smoke weed today and emacipate yourself from mental slavery.
