10 lives were left hanging by a thread - literally - when an extreme thrill ride on a rocket-like attraction almost ended in tragedy. Visitors to one of St. Petersburg's amusement parks were in for a nasty shock as a cable snapped on the ride, leaving them suspended in mid-air 70 meters above the ground. Luckily, rescue teams made it to the spot just in time to free the stranded passengers. This isn't the first safety scare at the amusement park. Two years ago, a 12-year old girl suffered serious injuries after a trampoline accident - also involving a snapped cable.

The organisers at Winter Olympics in Vancouver have shortened the luge track for both men and women as an extra safety precaution, following the death of Nodar Kumaritashvili. Training resumed at the Sliding Center, although the town of Whistler, which is also staging bobsleigh, downhill and Nordic events, remained in mourning on Saturday. For more analysis of tragic accident in Canada, RT talks to luge expert at Canadian CTV Chris Wightman.

A Brazilian soldier stationed in Port-Au-Prince with the United Nations peacekeeping units in Haiti, captured the chaos and panic that followed the earthquake on Tuesday. Soldier Luis Diego Morais was escorting Brazilian Nobel Peace Prize nominee Zilda Arns, who was speaking inside the Sacre Coeur church, when it collapsed. Using his camera phone, Morais captured the aftermath of the earthquake.

Hundreds are feared dead in Haiti after the strongest earthquake to hit the country in over two hundred years. The island, considered the poorest country in the Western hemisphere, is said to be suffering 'a catastrophe of major proportions.' Tens of thousands of people are now homeless after 7.0 magnitude quake and the Presidential Palace and the UN headquarters are in ruins. There's been a united plea for international aid and hundreds or even thousands are estimated to have died in the tragedy.

In Russia, an out of control fork-lift driver has given a new meaning to drink driving. Video featured by scandalim.ru suggests lost control of his vehicle, and slammed into stock shelves holding thousands of bottles of Cognac and vodka. The chain reaction soon left him very much under the influence of drink. The accident will leave the alcohol retailer with a nasty financial hangover. It's estimated over 150 thousands dollars worth of stock was downed.

Nobody ever thought something could happen to one of the most powerful stations in the world. The most reliable and Eco-friendly object which could serve forever. What happened one day? Looked like a nightmare or a Hollywood blockbuster - but it was reality. What led to this catastrophe? And what this catastrophe can lead to?

Out-of-control bus was rampaging through the Russian city of Perm and smashing everything in its path. As CCTV footage shows, some passers-by escaped death under its wheels thanks only to miracle.

The disaster at Russia's biggest power plant, which left dozens dead, could have been prevented, according to the head of the Russian Accounts Chamber.

Just For Laughs gone terribly wrong! a kid died in a mailbox. if this is real, i think its really sad. but if its fake, i think its funny. Supposedly "Alex Randolph", age 11, volunteered to be a prankster on Just For Laughs in Toronto. He was throwing mail out of the mailbox when some psycho came along & pulled out a pistol & started shooting Alex multiple times. i found those 2 pictures on the internet. idk if its a hoax though! I saw this clip of Just For Laughs on the Late Late Show w/ Craig Ferguson.(from 2005) He mentioned this clip was a part of the lost tapes never published on the show. Craig's studio audience was laughing at the guy with the gun. (lol it wasnt Just For Laughs' laugh track)

Car crashes are common enough, but there's a growing trend for witnesses to film accidents on their mobile phones rather than help out. A recent gruesome incident in Central Russia, has sparked debate about the issue.

The ferris wheel comes to a stop, so this crybaby panics, climbs out of his seat, and falls. Maybe next time he can ride the carousel or the kiddie roller coaster...

More than 200 dancers were performing their version of "Do Re Mi", in the Central Station of Antwerp. with just 2 rehearsals they created this amazing stunt! Those 4 fantastic minutes started the 23 of march 2009, 08:00 AM. It is a promotion stunt for a Belgian television program, where they are looking for someone to play the leading role, in the musical of "The Sound of Music".

Man thrown from carriage in Horrific Rollercoaster Accident

The world's largest ferris wheel, the Singapore Flyer, made its first spin this week. Select passengers get a bird's eye view of the city and as far as parts of neighboring Malaysia and Indonesia. Let's take a look. STORY: The first lucky customers got to take a ride in the huge capsules, with hundreds more queuing all week to get a chance at seeing Singapore from above. Although the giant wheel's grand opening will be on April 15, it held a Valentine's Day special for couples seeking a romantic view and a singles' mingling session. Passengers who were lucky enough to enjoy one of the first rides on Wednesday say the experience was well worth it. [British Tourist, Wheel Rider]: "It was brilliant. It was... we got scared at one point because it didn't seem to be moving, but then we realized that we were going vertically up for a short time and then it was OK again." The opening rides set passengers back thousands of dollars to rent out a capsule. [Singaporean, Wheel Rider]: "Oh, the experience was fantastic. Really good. Well worth a try." Standing at 165 meters high, the Singapore Flyer, which opens to the public in March, is 30 meters taller than the London Eye. The Singapore Flyer has 28 bus-sized capsules, each of which can hold 28 people.

A friend of mine's daughter came across a video of your's online. Her favorite ride (was) Big Thunder the roller coaster. She won't ride the ride anymore. She's terrified based on the video she saw. I feel bad for my friend who told me about her watching it. So, I'd like to write for him! First, the opening shot with the title alone is kind of scary. Blood type text? Things like this in my opinion shouldn't be shown online. If there are people -that- curious, they can do their own research...it shouldn't be easily accessable (especially for little kids!). A text ...

God blees him.

Santa Barbara County Fair: chick survives fall from mini ferris wheel at a chick carnival

Most tragic and disturbing thing I have seen since the decapitation videos, I do not suggest weak-hearted view this video

dumb kids falling on there trikes

Please Read: Air making an emergency stop. I'm third row back on the very right. Might not look like much but we were there for about 5 - 10 minutes! Notice that the ride makes it's usual stop at the start then it goes off an slams the breaks on. TRUST ME, this is not what normally happens! The reason it stops is because someone has their phone out to record the journey and they had to make an emergency stop when they saw it on the cameras.

Ghostrider Rollercoaster beginning before it malfunctions, good thing it stopped now!!!
