Knock Nevis, Worlds Biggest Super Tanker



The vessel Knock Nevis, was built with the name Seawise Giant, and changed her name some times. The last name of the ship and most famous one was Jahre Viking. This was the last sailing name of the ship. After renaming of Jahre Viking to Knock Nevis on 2004, the vessel is anchoren in the Persian Bay, near Qatar, where is used as sailing storage tank. The vessel was too hard for opperation, because the restriction of Suez Canal and Panama Canal, are making the expences about long voyages too big and the profits of Knock nevis were too little for such large ship.
The vessel has a displacement of 647,955 metric tones and can carry 4.1 million barrels of crude oil. This capacity is just enormous, and you can imagine that with one delivery of this vessel the whole world economy will be able to perform for more than 2 days. That is why super-tankers are so used in the world of shipping, but while sailing thay are making too great risks for the ecology.











World's Biggest Shoe Thief, Photos Collection....

A man whose last name is Park was arrested by investigators from Suseo Police Precinct in southern Seoul for stealing shoes.
Park allegedly preyed on funeral halls where many people would take off their shoes to pay their respects to the deceased.
Reports said that the 59-year-old shoe thief was amassing shoes for his used shoe business. His method was to pretend to be a mourner, take off his (obviously much cheaper) pair of shoes, and then sneak off with a more expensive one he could sell. He repeated this scheme again and again at funeral homes across Seoul. He was finally caught when he was found stealing three pairs of shoes with a total value of U.S. $1,750 (new retail price).
Despite his penchant for stealing, he was an orderly fellow. When police raided his warehouse they found thousands of shoes organized into neat rows arranged by size.
