A group of kids playing in the western Russian city of Kursk heard some cries from nearby and discovered a local man trapped in a heating system after seeing his fingers poking out of the ground on Monday. They alerted emergency services, who rushed to the spot and cut him free using circular saws and other abrasive power tools. The man was pulled from the heating pipe wearing nothing but his underwear after being trapped underground for 24-hours.
Video footage courtesy of the Buena Park Police Department shows the moment that emergency teams rescued 21 people from a stalled 100-foot high ride at the Knott’s Berry Farm amusement park in Buena Park, California on Friday evening. The amusement park goers had spent almost seven hours trapped in the 'Sky Cabin' capsule before emergency crews brought them down to safety. Emergency workers arrived on scene and attempted to access the ride via crane, but were forced to seek alternative methods once they discovered that the crane wasn't long enough to reach the capsule. Firefighters then used ropes and harnesses to bring the riders to safety. Investigations into the cause of the incident are underway and the ride will be shut down until further notice, according to officials.

With its A110 R Le Mans limited series, Alpine pays tribute to the world's most prestigious endurance race to mark its centenary. The brand has been involved in endurance racing since the 1960s, thanks to its founder Jean Rédélé, right up to the famous victory of the A442 in 1978. Alpine stepped up its endurance racing with Signatech in LMP2 and then LMP1 and is now looking to the future by taking on the new LMDh Hypercar category from 2024.Based on the A110 R, it features all the carbon components on the roof, wheels and interior with monocoque Sabelt Track bucket seats. It also incorporates a carbon wing evoking the endurance racing cars style and Alpine Elf Endurance Team's A480 design. Lightweight components, already used on the A110 R, contribute to its high level of performance with an acceleration time from 0 to 100kph of 3.9 seconds and a top speed of 285 kph on track.The A110 R Le Mans limited series comes with a Road & Track chock, an innovation patented by Alpine, which lowers and stiffens the car by 5% for even better stability on the track. This technical development, coupled with a specific suspension setting, enhances performance on the long Mulsanne straight and in the fast corners of the 24-Hours circuit.
