VIDEO: Glacier collapse rocks tourist boat



Panic ensued when a huge glacier disintegrated next to a tour boat in Alaska.

The boat was taking tourists through the Tracy Arm Fjord, a deep fjord over 30 miles long in the Tracy Arm-Fords Terror Wilderness in Alaska.

When a large chunk of ice fell off the side of a nearby glacier there was panic aboard the tourist boat and one woman reportedly broke her leg.

Apart from the dangers of falling ice, collapsing icebergs may also cause tidal waves that can tip small boats over.

VIDEO: Chinese high-wire walker left dangling 300 feet in the air



A Chinese high-wire artist lost his footing as he attempted to walk across a tightrope 100m above the ground - with no safety net.


Strong winds left Saimaiti Aishan dramatically clinging on to the 15m-long steel wire in front of stunned onlookers in China's Hunan Province.
The wire was attached to two hot air balloons - which were affected by the wind force and direction.
After successfully walking across the wire at 30m in just five minutes, Saimaiti took on the 100m challenge.
But the balloons slowly fell down to the ground and Saimaiti Aishan failed the challenge.
'Dawazi' - or high-wire walking - is a traditional folk stunt with a long history in Xinjiang, China.
