"Late on the night of June 17, 1984, a fire broke out in the Qamba Buddha Hall of the Potala Palace caused by short-circuit. On account of shortage of fire-fighting facilities, it took three hours for the firefighters, lamas, and residents nearby to put the fire out. An invaluable sutra Bstan-hgyur was burned almost by half."

"From 1965 to 1985, Qungda served in the fire control department of Lhasa and fought a serious fire in one of the chapels of the palace in 1984, the fourth fire in the palace's history."

There is an abandoned collider in Texas that rivals the one at CERN.

Unfortunately, the gov't cancelled & abandoned the program after the tunnels got built but way before the collider was finished. It became a $2 billion series of tunnels without the machinery. What a shame.

Lt. Hiro Onoda 1974. They dropped leaflets all around him announcing the end of the war but he refused to believe them and thought that it was a trick to get him to come out & be shot or arrested by the enemy.
