Irate Chinese construction workers decided enough was enough and took to the streets to settle their turf war, caught on video by a bystander.

At one point, a wheel loader is seen charging in from the left, coming to the rescue of his overturned fellow loader. He almost rights the stricken machine that is lying on its side.

After the dust had settle, their site managers might have had something to say about their use of company equipment.

So where exactly to old dozers go to die? Are they carted off to a special scrapyard where the ‘carcass’ is broken down after all useable parts are stripped away?

In the US state of Nevada, one onlooker videoed the final moments of an old bull dozer – apparently an International Harvester, according to one viewer. %$Linker: 2 External <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?><dictionary /> 0 0 0 oLinkExternal Click here Visit Youtube \Video false https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rDhY7GMJeI false false%> to watch as a tracked front loader picks it clean and tries hard to bash down the remaining hulk into small bits.

    A methane-powered bus has set a speed record for a regular city bus of nearly 124km/h at a test track in the UK, according to media reports. The bus, from the southern city of Reading, was converted to run on compressed methane from cow manure and was painted black and white like a Friesian cow. Mechanics removed the bus’s engine governor that restricted the vehicle’s speed to 90km/h. The bus then broke the record on the banked high-speed circuit at Millbrook Proving Ground, near the city of Bedford.

    It was a heart-stopping moment late one night as a car approached an 8m tall animal that was blocking the road. Most people, seeing what should have been an extinct dinosaur – a triceratops – in their path would have turned and run in the opposite direction. But for people in the English village of Godsill, on the Isle of Wight, the dinosaur was a well-known resident, albeit not a living animal. Chris Hollingshead snapped the photo and put it on his Facebook, which can be seen by clicking here.

    Packing people into telephone booths in the 1950s was a lot of fun! How many people can you squeeze in? The same thing went for packing people into an old style Volkswagen Beetle car in the 1960s. All were pranks, jokes to be played out for fun. But there were no laughs among the 50 people police were helping disembark a six-seater mini-van in the Chinese city of Guiyang. All 50 passengers were on their way to work when police, not believing their eyes, pulled over the vehicle. Click here to watch
