Wild Porsche Crash Driver Wrecks Taycan at 118 MPH ... Speed Test Gone Wrong!!!
Divert your eyes, Porsche lovers -- this crash during a speed test of the new electric model is gonna hurt.
A man in Turkey got behind the wheel this month of a Porsche Taycan Turbo S -- it's an all-electric whip, so it's fast as hell, and he seemed so giddy about it he had a camera rolling. The speed test starts off just fine ... topping out around 120 mph ... but it had an ugly, dangerous ending.
Less than 20 seconds after hitting the throttle ... BOOM!!!
For some reason, the guy went hurtling into a roundabout and lost control. He was lucky enough to survive ... the Taycan was not as lucky. You can see significant damage to his ride and the concrete.
BTW, the Taycan starts around $185,000. Hope it was worth it, pal!!!

The SSC Tuatara has officially been crowned the "fastest production vehicle" EVER ... this after the supercar hit a staggering 331 mph on a Nevada highway earlier this month!
The rocket-ship-on-wheels took off on Oct. 10 on State Route 160 just outside of Las Vegas ... with its sights set on crushing a world record.
And, after a week and a half of analyzing data and confirming times ... officials say the car did exactly that.
SSC says its 1,750hp Tuatara ran two test runs to pull off the accomplishment ... hitting 301.07 mph one way and then 331.15 mph on the way back for an average of 316.11 mph.
Officials say that feat is good enough to dub the car the fastest production ride of all-time ... topping the Agera RS's 2017 mark of 277.9 mph.
And, get this ... the dude who drove the Tuatara says it could've gone even faster!!
"The car wasn’t running out of steam yet," Oliver Webb said of when he got the ride to 331. "The crosswinds are all that prevented us from realizing the car’s limit."
By the way, check out footage of Webb hitting the 331-mph mark ... it's intense as hell!
As for if you want a Tuatara of your own to speed around in ... hope ya got a small fortune -- the supercars are known to sell for around $2 MILLION!!!

Las Vegas Halloween Town Turns into Wild Throwdown Town!!!
A Halloween-themed amusement park became a hellish scene full of monsters ... engaged in an all-out brawl after a woman refused to get off a ride.
The chaos begins with a ride operator at one of the Halloween Town locations in Las Vegas telling a woman who's yelling at him she's gotta get off ... and he's not starting the ride until she does.
The woman -- wearing a blue shirt, sitting next to a child, and called Christina by friends -- doesn't budge, and instead lets expletives fly. It's unclear what actually led to her beef with the ride operator, but he holds strong ... telling everyone the woman's holding up the ride because she's "acting like a damn animal."
Her response arguably ventures into racist territory when she says he looks like an animal, and then she calls security on him as he's trying to get everyone off the ride -- and then tempers flared.
It escalates quickly, and soon there's a scuffle involving several women, a few men, and multiple carnival employees who can't seem to get it under control. It's wild, it's ugly and, yes ... there were plenty of kids there to view the carnage.
Just your classic family trip to the pumpkin patch ... in a horror movie, anyway.

Crazy Getaway Alleged Forever 21 Shoplifter Leaps Off Ledge ... Flees with Merch!!!
An alleged shoplifter turned daredevil -- while making an apparent getaway with armfuls of merchandise, he intentionally plummeted from the ledge of a parking structure!!!
Ya gotta see the video ... the guy's hanging off the ledge and trying to shimmy around the structure -- while weighed down by allegedly stolen clothing -- when he suddenly decides to let go and fall a few stories.
You can see some of the items still had security tags on them, and even though a security guard thought he had him cornered -- this guy had a different idea. Watch the fall ... even though he landed in bushes, it's hardly a soft landing.
Still, the suspect who had allegedly just knocked off a Forever 21, not only survived, but managed to get up and start running away with his loot!!!
It's unclear if store security or law enforcement ever nabbed him. Guess ya gotta risk it to get the biscuit!!!

Utah Wildlife Agency Mama Cougar Will Be Left Alone ... After Near Attack on Hiker

Exclusive
- 2.8K shares
The cougar that almost tore apart a hiker while protecting her cubs has left the building, so to speak ... and because of that, wildlife officials are gonna leave her be.
A rep for the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources tells TMZ ... the department has gotten a bunch of messages since Kyle Burgess' scary encounter with the big cat, with many people concerned the animal could still be on the trail near Provo, and pose a danger to the public.
However, we're told the agency got even more calls begging them not to harm the mountain lion -- citizens who argued it hadn't done anything but try to protect its babies.
Welp, the department was able to address both sides.
We're told rangers hit the Slate Canyon trail over the past couple days, trying to spot the cougar anywhere in immediate proximity to the walking path. Fortunately, the UDWR says it did NOT find the cat, and therefore ... suspended its search and deemed the area safe.
That's pretty much what Kyle wanted -- he told us he wished no harm to the "kitty cat," as he felt she was just following her maternal instincts.
The UDWR won't be posting warning signs either -- the agency feels it's common knowledge the cats are in the area. As for how to deal with one ... well, see Kyle's video. Worked out for him!!!
FWIW, if rangers had come across the cougar ... they would've considered tranquilizing it and relocating it to an area away from the trail.

Vulture Catches a Ride with Paragliders ... Thanks for the Lift!!!
One vulture figured out an easy way to take a quick break while up thousands of feet in the air ... and it's all thanks to a couple of paragliders.
The incredible video was shot late last month above Algodonales, Spain and while it might appear to be an incredible encounter with nature ... there's actually a method behind it. The technique is called parahawking and it's practiced by paragliding instructor Scott Mason.
Parahawking includes a trained bird of prey to guide paragliders through thermal columns in the air. Participants don't just get to be up close and personal with the animals ... but the aerial trips also last longer and feel more "bird-like."
Mason has been training birds since he was a young kid and says his goal is to bring awareness to the animals about the role they play in their ecosystems.

Her angrily stated argument ... posting a political sign in the front lawn is against neighborhood rules, and she's threatening legal action if her neighbor doesn't "take this Harris, Biden s*** down!!!"
She doesn't stop there ... she claims she was gonna have the neighbor sell her house, but is gonna find someone else to do it instead.
After citing the alleged bylaw infraction again, the lady storms away and walks over the lawn right past the Biden sign.
Crazy times.

Wild Bear Ready to Roll in Pickup Truck ... Hops in, Locks the Door!!!
Move over, Yogi ... this bear's way smarter than average, 'cause it not only opened a pickup truck door ... but it got behind the wheel and locked the door!!!
This all went down in South Lake Tahoe where a father and daughter happened to be driving by when they spotted Bear-io Andretti casually hopping into the driver's side of a pickup truck in someone's driveway.
Check out the vid ... they're initially surprised to see the bear strolling, but their minds are blown when the bear walks up to the truck, opens the door, gets in and locks himself inside and apparently starts leaning on the horn.
They captioned the video, "When my dad and I drove up on a bear acting like a grown ass man." As for how they got that "man" out of the truck? Well, they knocked on the homeowner's door and alerted him to the bear-y unique situation.
Watch the vid to see how he handled it. We'll just say, no bears were harmed in this video, but the dad's heart rate definitely spiked.
Bears, man. They're taking over 2020.

How does Joey Chestnut celebrate National Taco Day??
By crushing a MASSIVE, 12-pound walking taco in 38 minutes!!!
(IMPORTANT STORY NOTE -- a "walking taco" is essentially a bunch of taco ingredients stuffed inside of a chip bag. Good stuff)
The food G.O.A.T. would have been competing in the annual Pacific Park World Taco Eating Championship on Sunday if it weren't for COVID-19 ... but NOTHING can stop this dude from eating insane amounts of tacos on the food holiday.
So, Jaws took matters into his own hands and made a humongous walking taco in the comfort of his own kitchen ... and the list of ingredients is wild.
-- 2 pounds of chips
-- 3 pounds of ground beef
-- 2+ pounds of cheese
-- 1+ pound of salsa
-- 6+ avocados
-- onions and sour cream
-- Joey's signature green hatch and jalapeno sauce
Now, no meal is too big for Chestnut ... and the guy was even ENJOYING eating the giant concoction while only needing 38 minutes and some change to finish it.
FYI -- Joey guzzled 82 street-style carnitas tacos in 8 minutes to win last year's eating competition in Santa Monica ... but at least he was able to take his time this year.
As for how the dude celebrated the feat??
"... a beer, belly rub and nap."
This dude's poor toilet ...

Kart Driver Luca Corberi Throws Bumper at Rival During Race ... Video of the Madness!!!
Italian kart driver Luca Corberi took road rage to another level and put racers' lives at risk ... when he threw a temper tantrum and a bumper on the track as they flew by.
The insane incident went down at the FIA KZ World Championship Sunday after Corberi was reportedly disqualified for coming into contact with another driver.
Instead of bowing out like a professional, Corberi chose to stand by the side of the track with a bumper that had fallen off ... and waited to throw it at a passing driver.
Problem is, it seems he missed his target, and the bumper pinballed around on the track before striking another driver. Luckily, it looks like nobody was hurt, and nobody lost control of their karts due to Corberi's bumper toss.
The announcer was baffled by his behavior, and said ... "I'm sorry, that is absolutely unacceptable."
The angry 23-year-old driver wasn't done though, and physically attacked the racer he initially threw the bumper at after the race was over. This led to a brawl involving several other drivers until everyone was separated.
Already, kart racing fans are calling for a lifetime ban for Corberi's actions ... which certainly could have killed someone.

All-White Albino Shark Once-in-a-Lifetime Catch ... Released Back in the Sea!!!
The first-ever albino all-white shark was reeled in by a deep-sea fisherman, who did what he had to do before letting it go back in the wild ... snap an awesome pic!!!
Jason Gillespie of England was fishing with some friends last week off Britain near the Isle of Wight when he caught the 3-foot tope shark ... an entirely white one due to leucism, a condition where the skin loses all of its pigmentation.
Jason said ... "I've been fishing for 30 years and I've never seen one like that."
Though he says he normally would release a tope shark right away because they are a protected species, he knew this one was special ... so he had to bring it on board for a few photos before releasing it back in the sea.
Jason says they released it quickly though, and it was fine.
He adds ... "What're the chances? I have no idea. It's the fish of a lifetime, one in a million."
Though it's believed Jason's the only person to get proof of catching an albino shark, he says he's heard of another fisherman in Wales who caught one years ago ... but much smaller.
Albino sharks generally struggled to survive because of their color. They don't get the same camouflage while hunting. Apparently, this one has managed just fine so far.

Tom Cruise I Trained Hard for This!!!
Tom Cruise could be a little strapped for cash these days, because we're thinkin' he had issues paying for a train ticket, so he just rode from the top!!!
Tom was in Norway filming the 7th installment of the "Mission Impossible" franchise, and he was true to form, riding on the top of a speeding train as some very impressed Norwegians followed the train in their car.
The guys actually got Tom's attention. The 58-year-old waved to the guys as he was riding high above the tracks, but that will pale by comparison to his latest plan -- getting hurled into space courtesy of Elon Musk and SpaceX to shoot scenes for an undisclosed movie project.
Tom's expected to blast off in October 2021.
Pretty cool.

NY Islanders Ex-Draft Pick Rewarded By Hockey Gods ... Over Honest Penalty Call

Breaking News
- 9 shares
What goes around, comes back around ... even on the ice -- 'cause a former NY Islanders draft pick was rewarded with a goal by the hockey gods after he corrected some refs on a bad call.
Here's the deal ... Anatoly Golyshev -- an Isles' 2016 4th-round pick -- was playing in a KHL game in Russia on Monday when his opponent was called for a tripping penalty.
The refs thought the dude swept Golyshev's legs out from under him ... and were about to reward Golyshev's Avtomobilist squad with a 5-on-3 power play.
After felling down in 5-on-4 PP, Avto's forward Anatoly Golyshev told the refs, he stepped on the puck and there should be no penalty and 5-on-3 PP.
— KHL (@khl_eng) September 29, 2020 @khl_eng
40 seconds later he scores a goal. Hockey karma. pic.twitter.com/SwoRV2E4zr
But, Golyshev quickly skated toward the refs and told them he had tripped over the puck -- NOT his opponent -- which negated the penalty call.
Obviously, it's a bold move by Golyshev ... the 2-man advantage would've almost guaranteed his team a goal -- a huge deal in a 3-2 game.
Turns out, though, karma worked in Golyshev's favor ... 'cause just seconds after his display of honesty -- he scored a goal!!!
And, even though his team ultimately lost 6-4, he added an assist later in the game too!!!
Sportsmanship, man ... pass it on!

Paramedic Jet Suit Takes First Flight in UK ... Could Be a Lifesaver!!!
It's a bird ... it's a plane ... it's a flying medic speeding through the air to go save lives!!!
That's the hope of the UK's Great North Air Ambulance Service anyway, which tested what's believed to be the world's first paramedic jet suit over the mountainous terrain of the Lake District ... in collaboration with Gravity Industries.
Check it out -- Gravity founder Richard Browning carries out the test flight, and is able to gloriously reach the "casualty site" -- unreachable by vehicle -- in less than 90 seconds! It would have taken 25-30 minutes on foot.
Obviously, that huge time saver in an emergency situation could be the difference between life and death.
Andy Mawson, director of operations at GNAAS, came up with the idea and described the test flight as "awesome." He says he saw the need for the flying paramedic because there are dozens of patients monthly within the complex geographical region.
Mawson says the jet pack exercise demonstrates huge potential of delivering critical care services quickly and effectively.
He adds ... "If the idea takes off, the flying paramedic will be armed with a medical kit, with strong pain relief for walkers who may have suffered fractures, and a defibrillator for those who may have suffered a heart attack."
And, again ... it just looks awesome too.
