The destroyed airport parking garage that was bombed in Madrid, Spain in 2006.

2004 – A Tarom Boeing 737-300, (registered YR-BGC “Constanţa”) hits a car on the runway of Bucharest Henri Coandă International Airport while taking off for Sharm-el-Sheikh in heavy fog. The plane is severely damaged but no one is injured. The pilots did not see the car, which was parked on the runway by maintenance workers repairing a beacon, due to the fog.

2006 – A Basque separatist organization uses a van to deliver a bomb to a parking garage at Madrid Barajas International Airport. Though there was extensive damage, only 2 people died in the blast.

1905 – The Wright Brothers ink a 1-million franc deal with French Emissary Arnold Fordyce to sell a flying machine capable of flying 31 miles. The deal would later break apart, with the Wrights receiving 25,000 francs for their trouble…their first money earned for flying.

  • Excellent look over, I merely passed the following onto a good colleague who had previously been doing a little research with that. And he actually invested in me lunch break because I stumbled upon it with regard to him look So okay rephrase that.

  • The best option is a mortar and pestle. This will help to crush the herbs, while allowing them to maintain their aromatic properties. Ultimately, it will help to maximize the effectiveness of the herbs as incense. On the other hand, you should definitely avoid using tools such as electric coffee grinders. The ultra-fast speed creates heat that causes the herbs to lose some of their aromas. Save those grinders for woods and of course-coffee.

  • A typical reformist joint, the bar is also a tropical oasis
    with neon-illuminated palm trees, personal bungalows, a hearth and
    linen-covered chaise lounges. If you are in no mood to rub elbows with the
    nighttime fashionista/glamourista crowd, Tropicana Bar is sweet for sunny CA
    afternoons. just confine mind to note the David Hockney blue-wave mural at very
    cheap of the pool at 7000 Hollywood Blvd.
