"Everyone knows the Vajont Dam story ends in disaster. But here's the part people get wrong: the dam didn't fail. The mountain did.

This video breaks down what actually happened in 1963, why the engineering held, and how a 'working' dam still ended up killing almost 2,000 people."

A vehicle caught fire on the A31 in Hampshire, UK yesterday evening at 17:30. The fire then spread to nearby heathland in the New Forest affecting the equivalent of 140 football pitches. Over 20 vehicles were abandoned and the road remains closed until further notice.

Fire crews have been tackling the fire since yesterday evening, with multiple units still on scene. The A31 is the main corridor linking the South West to the South East and there is currently no estimate on when the road will be reopened. Smoke from the fire was visible across the Solent at it's peak, including me being able to smell it from Southampton City Centre. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cmq56755ve09t
