As we know, driving in fog can be a terrifying experience, but what about landing a plane in foggy weather?! Back when airplanes first made an appearance, they could only fly during the day, and only if the weather was good. Pilots had to rely on their own eyes to bring the aircraft down safely. What about now?

Moose aren't afraid of us humans, and therefore, don't usually run away at the sight of people. This fact makes it all the more tempting to approach a moose - to touch, to pet, to feed. Unfortunately, that can turn out to be a grave mistake. By nature, moose aren't normally aggressive toward people, but if you provoke one, the consequences can be fatal.

Just like most living beings on this planet, moose will do anything to protect their babies or their territory once they decide that you're threatening them. Don't buy into the misconception that because moose look kinda bored and slow, they’re sluggish. In fact, you're unlikely to outrun these animals should one of them decide to attack. So, what should you do when you see a moose in your path? Are you supposed to keep walking? Or is it time to back off?

It turns out that there’s a serious reason why choppers don't fly all the way to the top of high mountains like Everest. Of course, there are special helicopters that can fly way higher than regular ones. They not only have larger blades and extremely powerful engines but they also cost a fortune as you may guess. So what about ordinary helicopters?
