Helios Airways Flight 522: The Ghost Plane That Flew Itself Into a Mountain

On the morning of August 14 2005 a Boeing 737 operating as Helios Airways Flight 522 took off from Larnaca Cyprus bound for Athens. Halfway through the flight Greek air traffic control lost contact. Two F-16 fighter jets were scrambled to intercept.

The plane flew on for two hours before crashing into a hillside killing all 121 people aboard.

Air France 447: The Crash That Baffled Aviation Experts and Changed Flying Forever

On the night of June 1 2009 Air France Flight 447 — an Airbus A330 carrying 228 people from Rio de Janeiro to Paris — disappeared over the Atlantic Ocean. No distress call was made.

In 1587 England established its first permanent settlement in the Americas on Roanoke Island off the coast of what is now North Carolina. Governor John White sailed back to England for supplies. War delayed his return for three years. When he finally came back in 1590 every one of the 115 settlers — including his own daughter and granddaughter — was gone. No bodies. No signs of battle. Just one word carved into a post. The Lost Colony of Roanoke is one of America’s oldest and most enduring mysteries.

The Tunguska Event: The Largest Explosion in Recorded History Left No Crater

On the morning of June 30 1908 something exploded over the remote Siberian taiga with a force estimated at 10-15 megatons — equivalent to 185 Hiroshima atomic bombs — flattening approximately 2000 square kilometres of forest and sending shockwaves that were recorded on seismographs around the world. No crater was ever found. No extraterrestrial material was recovered for decades. It took 19 years for the first scientific expedition to reach the site. The Tunguska event remains the largest impact event in recorded human history.

The Great Pacific Garbage Patch: How Bad Is It Really?

It is described in headlines as a floating island of trash twice the size of Texas, visible from space. Almost none of that is accurate. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is real, it is a serious environmental problem, and it is almost nothing like the image most people have in their heads. Here is what the data actually shows.
