Illegal arms factory

It all started during the Second World War, when the weapon manufacturers in the town of Dana supplied guerrilla forces in the fight against the Japanese. Today, Dana has about 100,000 residents, and more than 10,000 people are involved in this industry. Replicas of M16 rifles, AK-47 (the popular Kalashnikovs), Uzi, and other semi-automatic rifles are the most popular weapons. The weapons are also sold to local customers, politicians, military personnel and ordinary civilians. To understand the cash flow of this place, we will take the example of an ordinary revolver. Its price is $ 80 which corresponds to an average pay that an ordinary worker earns in a few weeks. This weapon is also very popular among the Japanese Yakuza and Chinese Mafi

A British man caught a giant tiger fish which has razor sharp teeth

A British fisherman caught one of the most dangerous fish in the world. Jeremy Wade has embarked on a quest to find prehistoric fish in the waters of the Congo River, and he found it ... This is one of the most dangerous freshwater fish, something like the piranhas but larger and more deadly.

It has 32 razor-sharp teeth, which are very similar to those of the great white shark. It is known that it attacks humans more frequently than crocodiles. Jeremy said he was very cautious while taking a picture with the fish which is 60 inches long and weighs over 286 pounds!

Fortunately, Wade is an experienced angler; this "monster" was captured while shooting TV show "river monsters". The show is about the attacks of unknown animals and the team comes into the scene in an attempt to find the unknown beast.

"The tiger fish is nothing more than a giant piranha! No doubt it is a vicious beast. Its teeth are very long and sharp just like the teeth of the great white shark. It can grow to a length of two meters and it attacks the animals of its size, so it is not surprising that it has people on its "menu". It is believed that these fish react to movement and splashing in the water, so you can see your sign "- adds Jeremy.”It's very difficult to catch them because they live in remote and hard to reach waters of the Congo. This is a rare one that leaves its habitat. It is interesting that we used a big living catfish as bait."

A modern ghost town Ordos in China

Ordos City in China is a modern ghost town. Region Kangbasi, in which more than a million inhabitants were supposed to live, remains uninhabited for more than five years since the start of construction.

Construction of the Kangbasi regions started with the project in Ordos, which is located in the province of Inner Mongolia. Ordos’s main potential is big coal sites. Many things were built there: office buildings, administrative centers, government buildings, museums, theaters, sports facilities and residential areas. But there is one big problem: nobody lives in a city designed for more than a million people! Although the large part of the property has already been sold, Kangbasi area is still empty and uninhabited. People were supposed to start settling in 2010. There are only a few workers who work on something or clean the streets. It seems unreal and ghostly, but this is China!
