Probably not as epic as James Cameron’s Titanic, but this
Russian flick has its share of vehicles slowly submerging too. A Lada
Kalina car drowned in a sinkhole as its owner franticly waited for
rescuers to arrive ... but it was never seen again.
Footage of the car’s
descent into muddy abyss of Ufa, a city in the Urals, was uploaded
online by an eyewitness, who said by the time rescuers arrived at the
scene, the vehicle was “up to its glands” in the water.Local news channel 360 reported that rescue workers drained with pumps the six meter sinkhole but found no car in it. They said it had been carried away by the stream of water that washed over the earth in the first place.
The owner of the car told the reporters that she will sue the municipal authorities for damage.

House in Indonesia hit by meteorite
Residents
of Sungai Serut District, Bengkulu City, were surprised by a rock that
is alleged to be a meteor that ripped through a house owned by Wahab
(56), on Wednesday, November 24, 2016.
At the time of the incident, according to Wahab, he was having a casual
conversation with his friend. Suddenly, they heard a loud thump from the
inside of his house. The noise originated from his kitchen.
After a quick search, Wahab found a rounded smoky object that is
as big as a basketball that had made it through his kitchen roof. "Not
only did it hit the roof, the rock also destroyed the water dispenser
and a water gallon, as well as a table," he said.
Wahab and a number of his friends flushed the rock with water and placed
it outside the house. The locals broke the white-colored rock to pieces
and gave it to a number of people as they believe that the meteorite
has a certain effect.
The rest of the rock has been handed over to the police.
Meteor fireball observed over Ireland and northern UK
A fireball was spotted streaking its way through the skies over the UK and Ireland last night.People reported seeing the meteor from Swansea all the way to Moray.
The only known visual evidence of the fireball was recorded by a web cam in Galway, Ireland, at around 5.15pm as it blazed its way overhead.
The fireball was spotted by people in Belfast, Galway, Dundee, Glasgow, Ayrshire, Skipton, Cumbria, Swansea, Merseyside, Alnwick and York.
And it wasn't long before people took to social media to share their sightings.
Amateur astronomer Brian MacGabhann, from Galway, captured the only known footage on a dash-cam in his car.
He shared the footage on Facebook and said he spotted the meteor in the North East from where he was in Galway.
He wrote: "It seemed to break up a bit before exiting the atmosphere."
Andy Harrold, from Moray, wrote: "I was looking at Venus at time it came streaking past, broke up & disappeared."
Fellow Scot, Robert Gibson, from the West of Scotland, wrote: "I saw it, breaking into multiple parts as it crossed the sky from east to west, looked amazing."
Steve Owens, planetarium manager at Glasgow Science Centre, said: "This
was a very bright meteor, known as a fireball, which was seen by sky
watchers across Scotland, Northern Ireland, and northern England around
5.15pm last night [23 November].
"The piece of space rock that burned up in our atmosphere, causing the fireball, was perhaps the size of a pebble.
"As it slammed into the Earth's atmosphere it compressed the air in
front of it, heating it to such extreme temperatures that the meteor
burned up, appearing to glow brighter than the brightest star for
several seconds.
"This happened high up in our atmosphere, and so it was seen across much of the northern UK."
If a piece of the space rock survived all the way to the ground it would
be termed a meteorite rather than a meteor and could be worth a
significant sum of money.
In the past meteorite hunters have offered five-figure sums of money to
anyone who can prove they have genuine pieces of a space rock that
landed in Britain.
Steve Owens, said it was likely the meteor burned up completely in the atmosphere.
People who spotted the meteorite have been asked to report it to the
Society for Popular Astronomy who can use that data to pinpoint its
path.
