The rainbow is created by the condensation of water vapor droplets . This condensation is only created by a drop in local pressure.
Condensation caused by the Prandtl-Glauert singularity can be seen in steady level flight usually at low altitude under humid conditions.

In Australia...

I can't believe that some people think it's true. Everyone knows that you ride from the pouch!

The problem with the second one isn’t the kangaroo in the house, nor the cigarette in its mouth, nor the over-sized stubby, nor the fact that a child has it, nor the fact that he’s drinking beer with a straw.

The reason it’s wrong is that no-one in Australia drinks Fosters.

Port workers carry a pirarucu, the largest freshwater fish in South America, after they confiscated 66 of the fish from poachers who were transporting them to a market in the city of Manaus, capital of the Brazilia Amazon region. Simply amazing size!

Notably, this fish was even put on stamps during the colonial period.

Airplane pushing: Chinese way

A Chinese airport shocked passengers and flight crew - by sending 30 workers to push a faulty plane off a runway.

It took them nearly two hours to push the CRJ7 plane, with 69 passengers and seven-strong crew on board, less than half a mile to a side lane.

"Thank God, it was only a 20 tonne medium-sized airplane. If it had been a big plane, it would have knocked us out," said one man, who said he had never experience anything like it in ten years working at the airport.

Airport officials explained that plane's front hydraulic system was faulty and meant it could not be attached to a tow truck.

It happened at Zhengzhou airport where the flight from Guilin had a rocky landing because of the mechanical failure.

"Luckily the airplane was able to brake on time and all the passengers are safe," a spokesman told Henan Business Daily.

Crew and passengers watched in amazement as several vehicles arrived with sirens blaring, and 30 people jumped off the trucks and started to push the airplane.

As fuel prices rise, Chinese officials may decide to create a new transport type - man-powered airplanes. After all, they already have man-powered cars, why not do the same for airplanes?

Pam Adams rebuilt her house in 2006 to withstand a Category 5 hurricane. After the home was destroyed by Hurricane Rita in 2005, Pam Adams and her husband Warren watched over the entire construction on the new house to assure it was built to their standard.
