13 Front-Row-Seat Videos Of The World’s Craziest Roller Coasters

Check out the biggest, tallest, fastest and most gut-wrenching coasters around with these terrifying POV videos.

It’s Roller Coaster Season! Unfortunately, for you office drones, broke fools and summer school denizens trapped behind a desk, the amusement park isn’t a reality.

But thanks to the magic of YouTube, you can make yourself feel incredibly sick and dizzy anyway! Here are 13 of the best POV videos of the biggest, tallest, fastest, and most gut-wrenching coasters around.

Get ready to get motion sickness from the safety of your cubicle.

Ultra Twister

This Japanese coaster seems to simulate how food travels down your small intestine. It may very well make your food go the opposite way. Sky Scream

A classic example of a coaster name that basically describes the experience. You’ll scream, in the sky. Hades Named for the Greek god of the underworld, who was well-known for his love of amusement park rides. Shivering Timbers The only wooden coaster named after the concept of substandard wood. Or pirates, possibly. Either way it makes it extra scary. Banshee A legitimately terrifying video, with a floorless upside-down ride. Takabisha Touted as the world’s steepest roller coaster, Takabisha has a devastating 121 degree drop. Its name is the Japanese word for “domineering.” Try giving your girlfriend that “pet-name” and see if she pushes you off a 121 degree incline. Helix The helix shape is most famous as the shape of DNA. Try to think about the work of Watson and Crick while you get completely scrambled on this coaster. Hair Raiser Or possibly Lunch Raiser, depending on when you watch this. Maverick The visible water in this video just makes it scarier. Steel Dragon 2000 A great name for a roller coaster or a pickup truck from the year 2000. The buildup in this is so long that it feels like torture. Formula Rossa This Ferrari-inspired coaster in Abu Dhabi is touted as the world’s fastest. Olympia This German coaster is both efficient and precise, though it does not pair well with beer or sausage. Full Throttle Sadly NOT a coaster version of “Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle“. It does go backwards and forwards, however.

Woman 'stabbed boyfriend for eating Thanksgiving dinner without her

Jacklyn Blake has been charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, reckless endangerment, and simple assault

Arrested: Jacklyn Blake reportedly admitted stabbed her boyfriend on Thanksgiving

A furious girlfriend allegedly knifed her partner in the chest because he began to eat his Thanksgiving meal without her.

Jacklyn Blake confessed to police she carried out the attack on Thursday after she accused him of not waiting for her while she slept off a hangover.

The 47-year-old was arrested when her unnamed boyfriend was found clutching a towel to his chest at their home in Pennsylvania and was taken to hospital with non life threatening injuries.

She has since been charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, reckless endangerment, and simple assault, reports the New York Daily News.

Her boyfriend told officers that Blake had been severely inebriated earlier in the afternoon and had chased him around the dining room before stabbing him.

She then apparently threw the knife resulting in a cut just below the left eye

Astronauts on the International Space Station Can Now Enjoy Espresso

A prototype of Lavazza's and Argotec's "ISSpresso" machine. The final version of the coffee machine will be the first real Italian espresso machine on The International Space Station, and will coincide with a six-month mission by Italy’s first Italian female astronaut, Samantha Cristoforetti.

The Italian engineered 'ISSpresso' can be sipped through a straw

If the only thing keeping you from joining the space program was a lack of decent coffee outside Earth’s orbit, you no longer have that excuse.

This week Italy sent astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti to the International Space Station with a specially designed espresso machine that works in zero-gravity.

Designed by Turin-based Lavazzo and engineering firm Argotec, the ISSpresso, pumps water under high pressure through the machine into a pouch, where it can be sipped through a straw.

Part of an international crew that arrived on the Russian Soyuz craft, Cristoforetti, 37, also a captain in the Italian air force, “will be not only the first female astronaut from Italy to go into space, but also the very first astronaut in the history of the conquest of space to savor an authentic Italian espresso in orbit,” the companies said in a statement.
If slurping hot coffee through a straw sounds less than ideal, more innovations are on the horizon, thanks to researchers in Portland, where coffee obsession rivals that in Italy.

On Monday a team at Portland State University presented a paper,The Capillary Fluidics of Espresso, detailing a way to enjoy espresso in space in a manner similar to the one on Earth – which is to say in a cup – by replacing the role of gravity with the forces of surface tension.

Espresso, noted the team, which included a member of NASA and also a high school student, “is distinguished by a complex low density colloid of emulsified oils. Due to gravity, these oils rise to the surface forming a foam lid called the crema …. To some, the texture and aromatics of the crema play a critical role in the overall espresso experience. We show how in the low-g environment this may not be possible. We also suggest alternate methods for enjoying espresso aboard spacecraft.”

Of equal importance, these impressive innovations mean that, should the ISS ever encounter life on other planets, aliens’ first experience of coffee will not be adulterated with pumpkin spice.

Stop that bus! Justin Bieber autograph, false leg and giant crabs left behind on British coaches

National Express has revealed some of the more unusual items left behind on their vehicles by passengers - and the list makes for incredible reading

Lost property: Signed pic of Bieber among items left behind on coaches

How do you get on a coach wearing a false leg and then manage to get off the vehicle at your stop without it?

That's the question National Express bosses were asking themselves when one passenger left his prosthetic limb behind on one of their services, having worn it to board the coach.

That is just one example of some of the more unusual items left behind on coaches operated by National Express.

Coach: National Express reveals some of the more unusual lost property items

A Chinese couple, who could not speak English, took a 10-legged crab on board a service from Coventry to Inverness, and even purchased a child's ticket for it.

Despite taking such care over the crab, they managed to get off the coach without it at some point.

As there were no seaside stops on the route a special coach was chartered to drop the crab off at the end of Blackpool Pier, on the advice of marine biologists.

Mankini: Staff were surprised to find two garments made famous by Borat left on a coach

A set of mountain bikes still in their original boxes were left behind on one coach,while one Belieber would have been heartbroken when they realised they had left their signed photo of Justin on a coach returning from a gig at Wembley Stadium.

One traveller left behind a pair of full-sized feathered American Indian head dresses and a bag containing two lime green 'mankinis' and an oversized 40th birthday badge was another interesting discovery for National Express staff after all customers had disembarked the coach.

Left: A pair of Indian head dresses were found on one service

The manager of Liverpool coach station ended up adopting a new pet, when a small furry creature native to Chile called a Degu was left behind on a coach.

National Express lost property manager Claire Horvath said: "It's absolutely unbelievable the things people leave on the coaches and on more than one occasion I've been left rubbing my eyes in the lost property room.

"The Indian head dresses were one of the more unusual items left behind. I mean, we've all mislaid glasses or a mobile phone but how do you forget something that size?"
