World’s Largest Water Balloon Fight 2011
University of Kentucky’s Christian Student Fellowship went to break the world record for the World’s Largest Water Balloon Fight set in 2010 by students at Brigham Young University. Nearly 9,000 people threw 175,141 water balloons in the fight that took place at the Johnson Center Field at University of Kentucky. No official word from Guinness World Records yet but this seems like a shoe-in for the new record.
The World's Most Dangerous Airports: Barra Airport, Scotland
Barra Airport is the only airport in the world where planes land on the beach. It is situated on the wide beach of Traigh Mhor, on Barra island, in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland. If you want to fly here commercially you will want to book with British Airways, which flies to Barra from Glasgow and Benbecula.
The airport is literally washed away by the tide once a day, and if you arrive on a late afternoon flight, you may notice a couple of cars in the parking lot with their lights on, which provides pilots some added visibility, since the airport is naturally lit. Needless to say you probably don’t want to hang out at Barra Airport beach, unless you are a aviation junkie, in which case Barra Airport has a fool proof system, as sign that reads: “Keep off the beach. When the windsock is flying and the airport is active.”
