On 20 August 1927 she was in collision with her sister ship TrSS St David in Fishguard harbour. She caught fire on 7 April 1929, attributed to an electrical fault, following which she was scrapped.

a runaway tram in Sydney Harbour, 1952

On the morning of 20 July 1952, the wheels of a Mosman tram locked. Despite the best efforts of the driver, the tram skidded more than 1.5 km downhill – at an estimated speed of over 70 km/h – until it crashed through the blocks at the end of the rails, tore up almost 10 metres of road, and shot off the embankment, hurtling 18 metres through the air, onto rocks, and then into the harbour. The driver and conductor both suffered head injuries when they abandoned the tram during its descent. The two passengers left on board were also injured.

This presumably is where the tram crashed at the end of Athol Wharf Road:

a steam train crosses the Waimakariri River, Canterbury, 1900s

But not the bridge that most rail enthusiasts associate with the river on the Midland Line.  This bridge crossed the river across a small gorge between the settlements of Oxford and Sheffield on the Canterbury Plains not far from the foothills of the alps.  It was a linking line that never saw a lot of traffic and was closed in 1930; the bridge was turned into a road bridge and still exists as such.

Michael Moore endorses Donald Trump

Update
After watching the whole program, which was recorded at a hall in Ohio, it's clear that Moore is explaining Trump's appeal to the working class, but also that he's very concerned about Trump would be like as President. His overall message in the program was to the effect of "OK, Hillary has a lot of Wall Street money behind her, but is she really that bad?"

driverless truck makes a beer delivery in Colorado

Full article and video

A self-driving truck built by Uber's unit Otto made a pioneering delivery of beer in Colorado last week, Otto announced on Tuesday.

The 18-wheel semi-trailer loaded with Budweiser made the 120 mile (200 km) trip from Fort Collins through the center of crowded Denver to Colorado Springs using only cameras, radar and sensors to read the road.

The truck carried a professional driver, but he simply monitored the progress from the truck's sleeper berth behind the driver's seat.

A $5.6 million Chinese amusement theme park in Egyptian desert

How bizarre... "The theme park is quartered under different themes; the first we should tell you about is Dinosaur Park, because it's the first of its kind in all of Egypt. This is for the tiny Ross Gellers who get excited at the mere thought of prehistoric creatures. The second is Water World, which we're assuming will be thronged with moms, dads, and kids come summer season. Now, our favourite is Candy World, because, well, you can imagine why. Automative World is the fourth plot, where you'll find Go Karts, classic bumper cars, and laser cars. Plus they have one ride that takes you around the five [seven?] continents."
