Something we should learn - Man runs wrong code - deletes his company (by mistake)

rm stands for remove
r tells to delete everything in the directory
f tells to ignore warning messages during deletion

Watching fires is not a fun
http://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/latest-news/502597/petrol-station-explode-blast-Russia-Dagestan-multiple-dead-natural-gas-firefighters-police
In the video, it is seen, persons walking aside, not knowing the dangers of such fires. Fragments from explosion can travel great distances and can kill the persons. Thermal radiation from fireball also will be felt at longer distances, the overpressure in the form of pressure waves can lift the equipment/persons off the ground, making them to hit other objects and thus get injured/killed.

Possible danger from open top cars, while speeding and stopping all of a sudden
Today evening, while walking, I watched a car going at high speed on the road. The car got a open top with two children in standing position and having the fun. It is not known, whether the two children were held by others inside the car or not.
What scared me was the thought that if for some reason, the car driver applies brakes suddenly, these two children may fly off and get injured.
