According to a report published in The Guardian, the U.S. Air Force nearly caused a wide-scale disaster in 1961 when they almost detonated an atomic bomb, 260 times more powerful than the one that striked Hiroshima. Just imagine how much destruction this would have caused, how many lives would've gone, a major catastrophe it would've been.
The document under light mentioned the breakup of two Mark 39 hydrogen bombs being carried on a B-52 on January 23,1961 mid-air over North Carolina.
Investigative journalist Eric Schlosser who obtained the document, said "The US government has consistently tried to withhold information from the American people in order to prevent questions being asked about our nuclear weapons policy. We were told there was no possibility of these weapons accidentally detonating, yet here's one that very nearly did."

No life on Mars? What?!
So, in the latest of discoveries by NASA's very own Curiosity rover, absence of Methane, as a result of no sign of it's detection could simply mean that Mars never supported life forms of any type. Initial reports suggested there were signs of the gas but the Rover has not picked up anything.
So, I guess there are no aliens ;)
But this is science, so you can never be sure. Stay Tuned!
Ice, ice, where art thou?
It's getting hotter. No, I mean, literally, it is. The temperatures are rising and i'm sure you already are aware of the phenomenon that is eventually gonna kill our planet, Global Warming. So in this latest post, I wanted you to see real and up-to-date proof of how this phenomenon is reducing the ice in the Arctic. Possible to imagine the Arctic without ice? NAH.
The annual mean ice extent since 1979 has reduced by 4% per decade. Shocking huh?

How bad is the "BlackBerry" situation?
BlackBerry is cutting more jobs. Yes, it's happening. The Canadian smartphone maker is anticipating a loss of $995mn when the second quarter results will be out this week.
Approximately 4500 jobs, that is 40% of its workforce will be cut. This was somewhat expected seeing how poorly the company was performing and its back to back efforts to jump back, failing, such as the Z10 model smartphone.
BBM is now almost officially available on three platforms and if it is any consolation, it possibly being a success could help the save the company.
Bad News for BB fans: A possible sale of the company is being evaluated as an option :/

Football Updates
FC Barcelona maintained their perfect start to the season with a 4-0 win away against Rayo Vallecano. Messi and Neymar both played important roles in the win.
In England, Liverpool were defeated 0-1 by Southampton and Chelsea won 2-0 at home against Fulham after a disappointing midweek Champions League defeat to Basel.
The Manchester Derby will take place today at the Etihad stadium at 1500 GMT.
In Germany, Bayern Munich won in a 4-0 win away at Schalke and Dortmund were held to a 1-1 draw by Nurnberg. This means that both Bayern and Dortmund are now level with 16 points and coincidentally having the same goal difference too(11).

TV: How I Met Your Mother (The Last Chapter) and The Big Bang Theory (Back with a Bang!)
In the age where movies make way more money than TV shows do, it'd be injustice to say that TV hasn't been as amazing as movies. I'm talking about the very popular and HIT TV shows How I Met Your Mother and The Big Bang Theory which are into their NINTH and SEVENTH seasons respectively. Sadly for the HIMYM fans, this would be the last chapter. HIMYM's previous season ended with the mother FINALLY being revealed(yes, after 8 years!) and it'll be interesting to see how to mixes up with the gang in the final season. The HIT comedy show, The Big Bang Theory has always managed to let us fans end up in ROFL situations (sometimes even literally!) as we see geekiness mix up humor creating the perfect laughter experience.
Tune in for the season premieres for both shows on September 23(How I Met Your Mother) and September 26(The Big Bang Theory), only on CBS!
