  • Between Barden Tower and Bolton Abbey in Yorkshire, England, lies one of nature’s most dangerous booby traps. It’s a small innocuous-looking mountain stream, about six feet across, known as Bolton Strid, or simply the Strid.

  • A diver escaped unscathed after he was trapped in a cage underwater with a great white shark.

    Footage of the incident, which took place near Guadalupe Island off the west coast of Mexico, shows the shark lunging for a large chunk of tuna that is tied to a rope from a boat.

    According to the video, which was published online, a diver was inside a metal cage to capture the act on camera while people on the boat looked on.
