A Swiss pilot was the first person to zoom across the English channel using a single jet-propelled wing that was 2.5 meters wide and had 4 simple jet engines to keep him airborne! He flew at speeds more than 200 km/hr for the 35.4 km journey. He covered that distance in less than 10 minutes.

Huge Typhoon!!
The last typhoon destroyed a lot of buildings, a tunnel with people inside, and a bridge with cars on it. More than eleven people died. It will take very long to replace everything and it won't be possible to replace the deaths. This typhoon was terrible for Taiwan.
