Another Natural Disaster Strikes Madly

This is not a Hollywood movie. Dozens of tornadoes roared as a colossal monster vanishing everything on their way. Tuscaloosa, Alabama unfortunately was the set of this tragic event. The video shows the deadly truth this place is facing. This is the deadliest tornado outbreak in almost 40 years, leaving at least 297.

"There's not a word for what you see," said Becky Russell, spokeswoman for the Salvation Army's Alabama-Louisiana-Mississippi (ALM) Division as she surveyed the damage in Tuscaloosa. "This has to be close to what a war zone looks like. I can turn in any direction and there is nothing normal standing."

 

Natural disasters are occurring more often and even in bigger scales. Tsunamis, Earthquakes and now tornados strike mankind with no compassion. Millions of people have died and at least trillions have lost completely their home. For some the idea of the end of the world is just a myth, but as 2012 comes closer it seems that this myth could turn into a reality.     

Message in a Bottle

Thirteen-year-old Daniil Korotkikh was walking on a beach in Russia when he saw a bottle in the sand.

It turned out to be 24 years old, having been thrown by a young boy off a ship in the Baltic Sea nearly a quarter century ago. And it had a message inside, written in German.

The letter said: "My name is Frank and I'm five years old. My dad and I are traveling on a ship to Denmark. If you find this letter, please write back to me, and I will write back to you."

Daniil Korotkikh was uncertain at the begining about the legitimacy of this message. But although he had this feeling, he did not want to stay with the intrigue. So he contact the address of the letter. After a few days he got an answer, but it was from the parents of the author of the letter. He then was able to get in contact with Frank

Daniil found the bottle on a beach on the Curonian Spit, on the Baltic Sea coast, part of which belongs to Russia's Kaliningrad region and part to Lithuania. The boy said he found it hard to believe that the bottle was so old and theorized it had been buried in the sand the whole time. "It would not have survived in the water all that time," he said.

I really wanted to share this crazy news. How can the bottle survive 24 years overseas? What are the probabilities for someone to find it!?
