#3 What if there was some kind of device that turned sand into glass,

interesting pics ..... wouldn't mind if these were an occasionally recurring post



#7, Shuttle is on tarmac low center

I wouldn't want to be the divers who had to swim through the
wreckage of that cruise ship looking for bodies ...
pitch black, close quarters, debris floating all around
getting tangled and pinned and panicked .... no thanks

My hat is off to the Italian Coast Guard and all the
responders to that tragedy. 12
