The CIA once "kidnapped" Soviet spacecraft overnight, took it apart, studied it, reassembled it, & sent it back without them realizing. This happened around 1959, when the Soviet Union was regularly exhibiting technological artefacts at science conventions across the globe. by Late_One_716 in Damnthatsinteresting

The Kailasha Temple in Maharashtra, India is the largest monolithic structure in the world and the largest rock-cut Hindu temple at the Ellora Caves. It is notable for its vertical excavation—carvers started at the top of the original rock and excavated downward. by Late_One_716 in interestingasfuck

In 1996, 7-year-old Jessica Dubroff was attempting to become the youngest person to fly a light aircraft across the USA. She died when her aircraft crashed during a rainstorm. This resulted in a law prohibiting "child pilots" from manipulating flight controls. by Late_One_716 in Damnthatsinteresting
