The Highest Bird Strike Ever Recorded Involved A Critically Endangered Vulture - SlashGear (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It's November 29, 1973, high above Abidjan, a city situated along the southern Atlantic coast of Côte d'Ivoire (also known as the Ivory Coast) in West Africa. A commercial airline — thought to be a four‑engine DC-8 — a plane that not only helped shape modern commercial flight but went supersonic before either the Concorde or Tupolev – was cruising at around 37,000 feet. Suddenly, it hit something that caused one of the engines to flame out. Fortunately, the plane was able to land safely. Officia
This WWII Tank Was The First Production Model With A Gyro-Stabilized Main Gun - SlashGear (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When the United States entered World War II in December 1941, its military ranked 17th globally, behind countries like Portugal and Romania. The U.S. was still reeling from the Great Depression and wanted no part of the war raging across the Atlantic. Interestingly, New York City had more men in its police department than the Marines had soldiers. In May 1940, the U.S. Army only had 464 tanks. By the end of the war, that stock would increase to 86,000. One of the most famous tanks in history, an
Why Are Attack Helicopters Called 'Gunships'? - SlashGear (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The idea of a vehicle that could achieve vertical flight — also known as a helicopter — has been around much longer than you might think. The Chinese created a kite with a rotary wing that produced lift around 400 CE. We have Leonardo da Vinci's famous 15th-century drawings of such a machine, powered by the use of a what da Vinci called a spiral airscrew. Down through the ages, toys of all kinds — some using bird feathers to mimic rotors — successfully achieved vertical flight. The first helicop
These Traffic Cones You See Every Day Have Some Oddly Specific Rules - SlashGear (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Traffic cones are a ubiquitous part of every road construction project. It's estimated that, on average, driving on deteriorated and congested roads costs drivers more than $1,400 every year in vehicle maintenance costs and lost time. While some roadways are better than others, overall, the 2025 report card from the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) on America's infrastructure earned a woeful D+, far from a passing grade. According to ASCE, approximately 39% of the major roads in the U.
Why Garbage Disposals Are Rare In Europe, But So Common In America - SlashGear (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The latest Census figures for 2026 put the population of the United States at almost 343 million, with the global population now above 8 billion. By comparison, the number of people in the U.S. in 1950 sat around 150 million – less than half of what it is today. The U.S. during those early post-World War II years saw the baby boom, the proliferation of mass production, and massive suburban growth, resulting in home remodeling and kitchen modernization – all of which helped bolster an economy tha
