The Largest Drain Hole In The World

Where? Located in northern California, the Monticello Dam’s is the largest morning glory spillway all over the world. This funnel-shaped outlet, allows water to bypass the dam when it reaches capacity, as it swallows a rate of 48,400 cubic feet per second (1370 m³/s).

The distance from the funnel to the exit point - which is situated in the south side of the canyon - is about 700 feet.

This type of spillway is basically a giant cement funnel. The hole’s largest diameter is 72 feet and narrows to about 28 feet.

According to Davis Wiki,

for obvious reasons, swimming near the glory hole is both prohibited and stupid. There are buoys strung across the lake to discourage boaters and swimmers from approaching the glory hole and the dam. Furthermore, the glory hole is well fenced off from the land.

Finally, you can take a look at the hole on Google Maps.

The Longest Train in The World

The train from Nouadhibou to Zouerat in Mauritania is the longest train in the world. The iron ore train carry thousands of tons of crusehed rock in a chain of wagons up to three kilometres long. Their schecules and frequencies depend partly on the speed of the extraction at the mines, and even in the past, attacks by Polisario guerillas from over the border in Western Sahara.

There are 3 or 4 diesel-electric General Motors 3300V locomotives at the head of the train and about 200 cars each carrying up to 84 tons of iron ore, and a variable number of service cars. The total traffic averages 16.6 billion tons per year.

Travelers’ cars are also occasionally transported by train; these services are managed by an SNIM subsidiary, the ATTM Society (Société d’assainissement, de travaux, de transport et de maintenance). Passenger cars are sometimes attached, but more often passengers simply ride atop the ore cars.

World’s Highest Website

Sounds weird isn’t it? But you can drop by this website, the World’s Highest Website to check out!

Worlds_highest_website

It’s 18.939 kilometers high (that’s about 11.769 miles)!

How long will it takes to scroll down to the bottom? – I’ve no answer!

Anyway, Firefox users can reach the bottom by taking the elevator (light speed hypertext transportation) provided. For iE users, sorry no elevator for you guys but you can take the stairs though – by pressing CTRL + END.
