    Mystery shrouds colossal Brink's heist at I-5 truck stop: Who stole millions in gems, gold?

    It took just 27 minutes to steal tens of millions in jewelry and gemstones from a Brink's trailer in Lebec, Calif.

    “We are looking at more than $100 million in documented losses,” he said. “This was an absolutely huge crime. One of the largest jewelry heists ever. We are talking gold, diamonds, rubies, emeralds and loads of luxury watches.”

    This has the Cody family written all over it.

    Now this is awesome!

    Just to credit the French digital artist who made this, he works under the name Vaskange.



    A bit more info about how these kind of "infinitely zooming images" are made, you can read this thread on twitter:



    This one is amazing, too! Watch on a big screen, if you can:

    @No-Quarter They detonated underwater bombs to test their effects on ships hulls. Right up to aircraft carriers.

    If that is 1958 it will be one of two tests as part of the Hardtack series at Enewetak Atoll.

    the forced evacuation of the native Marshall Islanders from Bikini Atoll was disgusting. Destroyed their homes and way of life. They estimate the atoll had been inhabited for over 3,000 years.

    The bloody French didn't stop testing at Muroroa until 95.
