DAREDEVIL HANGS OFF TALL BUILDINGS

There seems to be a trend happening in Eastern European countries. It’s “Let’s climb the highest buildings, bridges and towers in our region and then photograph us on their edges.” There have been some significant risk takers of the daring feats such as Vitaly Skywalker who we covered last year. Skywalker got caught by authorities though and has since reduced his stunts. Yet another audacious individual by the name of “Mustang Wanted” is proving to take the hobby, if you can call it that, to a new level.

Instead of climbing and posing on high points, Mustang goes and then proceeds to hang off of them. Possessing some significant upper body strength, this young Ukrainian hangs from buildings and towers and has his friends take the photos. He even takes the daring feat a step further with such antics as hanging off with one arm or his legs. Crazy? Oh yeah. A small slip of grip would certainly determine a ticket out of this world, yet Mustang isn’t afraid of the consequences. Here’s a link to his website, but a word to the wise:Don’t try this at home.

I think we know how this story will end

fastcompany: Here’s an interactive map that shows the median income of every neighborhood in the U.S.  Rich Blocks, Poor Blocks is an interactive map showing the average income for every neighborhood in America. Type in your address, press search, and there you have it: Your city, shaded by income, according to data from an annual survey conducted by the Census Bureau. The greenest blocks—Census blocks, that is, not city blocks—signify the richest areas, typically bringing in an average household income of $100,000 or more a year. The reddest blocks are the poorest, with annual income somewhere around $20,000. All the rest get some shade of red or green, depending where they fall. Check out the full story here.
