1,000 strip off for naked Dead Sea photo- Full Video



We were assured by the organizers that it will happen and the 1,000 plus people will be boarding buses throughout Israel on schedule early Saturday. We arrived at the Arlozorov train station in Tel Aviv a bit early at 11:30 PM on Friday night to join up with the masses awaiting to board the many buses in line to depart.

The departure time that was communicated to the TA group was 1AM. We ended up leaving a bit after 3. Given the hordes of people, ID cards and paperwork to be checked, the operation ran very smoothly.

We were all very excited (and tired), but the thought of disrobing for the sake of art and history was awakening! Yes. We were doing this for the sake of art and being part of history, but most importantly, we wanted to bring attention to the plight of the Dead Sea, a candidate for inclusion in the world-renowned list: The Seven Wonders of the World. At current estimates, the Dead Sea will disappear within 50 years due to its draining resources by companies looking to exploit it for the sake of money.

Tycoon Punches Fellow Billionaire On TV Video



Russian tycoon Alexander Lebedev has punched a fellow billionaire on a television panel show after a discussion on the financial crisis degenerated into petty name-calling.

Ledebev, a former KGB operative and owner of two major newspapers in the United Kingdom, wrote on his blog that property developer Sergei Polonsky had earned the clobbering by behaving abusively throughout the recording of the program.

In a preview clip posted on the NTV channel's website ahead of the show airing Sunday, Polonsky is seen saying that he sometimes felt like "bashing (Lebedev) in the face," prompting the newspaper owner to jump to his feet.

Reno Air Show Plane Crash - Full Video


A vintage World War II-era fighter plane plunged into the grandstands Friday during a popular annual air show, killing at least three people, injuring more than 50 spectators and creating a horrific scene strewn with body parts and smoking debris.

The plane, flown by an 80-year-old pilot, spiraled suddenly out of control and appeared to disintegrate upon impact. Bloodied bodies were spread across the area as people tended to the victims and ambulances rushed to the scene.

Maureen Higgins of Alabama, who has been coming to the show for 16 years, said the pilot was on his third lap when he lost control.

She was sitting about 30 yards away from the crash and watched in horror as the man in front of her started bleeding after a piece of debris hit him in the head.

"I saw body parts and gore like you wouldn't believe it. I'm talking an arm, a leg," Higgins said "The alive people were missing body parts. I am not kidding you. It was gore. Unbelievable gore."

Among the dead was pilot Jimmy Leeward, 80, of Ocala, Fla., who flew the P-51 Mustang named the "Galloping Ghost," according to Mike Houghton, president and CEO of Reno Air Races.

Renown Medical Center spokeswoman Kathy Carter confirmed that two others died, but did not provide their identities.

Stephanie Kruse, a spokeswoman for the Regional Emergency Medical Service Authority, told The Associated Press that emergency crews took a total of 56 injury victims to three hospitals. She said they also observed a number of people being transported by private vehicle, which they are not including in their count.

Kruse said of the total 56, at the time of transport, 15 were considered in critical condition, 13 were serious condition with potentially life-threatening injuries and 28 were non-serious or non-life threatening.

Colbert Mocks Bachmann's HPV Vaccine Claims (VIDEO)



CNN Tea Party debate, one of the most memorable exchanges occurred between frontrunners Rick Perry and Michele Bachmann over the HPV vaccine Perry mandated in Texas.

While the other candidates did their fair share of attacking Perry, Bachmann insisted that Perry's mandate, which called for girls aged 11 and 12 to get the vaccine to prevent an STD that causes cancer, is morally "flat out wrong" and said she was told it causes mental retardation.

"Bachmann is always strongly pro-choice," Colbert concluded. "As long as that choice is cervical cancer."

Fan Catches Foul Ball While On Cell Phone (VIDEO)


Sometimes it can be a scary moment, where you quickly move out of the way (whether or not your girlfriend knows what's coming). And sometimes the fan has to make a decision between the foul ball or his or her kid.

Or, fans can take the nonchalant route and not let the line drive phase them at all. That's what the Rangers fan in the video below did in Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Indians.

In the very first inning, Rangers second baseman Ian Kinsler hit a scorching line drive to the stands on the first base side. A fan talking on his cell phone, very casually, stuck out his gloved hand and caught the ball, while continuing his phone conversation.
