Thieves Steal a Bridge!
Russian thieves have taken stealing to a monumental level by stealing a 200-tonne steel bridge without anyone batting-an-eyelid.
The 38ft structure in Khabarovsk in the east of the country, allegedly vanished overnight.
A Russian heating plant that used the bridge as it's sole entrance and exit route have responded by saying that replacing the bridge would be ten times the value of the scrap metal that had been stolen. They plan to replace the bridge with one made of concrete.

The Queensbridge Wind Power Project presents a vision of a future when meeting energy production needs can actually enhance the beauty of a city.

This project is designed to engage the community in a dialogue about the potential of wind and other alternative energies in an urban setting.
A short (7 minute) video shows the origin of the project and includes interviews with Climate Scientist Dr. Cynthia Rosenzweig on the effects of global warming on the New York region and Technical Designer Markus Maurette on the creation of a computer model of the bridge fitted with various wind turbine designs.
