PHUKET: This week’s Weird World News Round-up hits the “press” as button pushers get dramatic outcomes. Pushed too far, one man initiates his own airport strip search, a “shark-whisper” faucets nice whites sharks on the nose, and a “drama button” in the middle of your common Flemish square all made headlines this week.
Apparently Phuket doesn’t have the only airport that makes you need to tear your clothes off in frustration. A 50-year-old man halted the security line at Portland International Airport in the US after unbuttoning his trousers and stripping in protest of the screening procedure there, reported The Mirror.
John Brennan stated that he felt “harassed” by employees as he tried to move by way of the safety checkpoint for his flight to California.
“I heard ‘Stop the line, cease the road,’ and I appeared up and there was this man fully nude,’” stated Brian Reilly, a witness at the airport.
“ Thought-provoking obtained pulled apart for additional safety measures. He was clearly protesting it,” he added.
“When interviewed about his actions, Mr Brennan said he fly’s [sic] a lot and had disrobed as a form of protest in opposition to TSA [Transport Security Administration] screeners who he felt were harassing him,” a police incident report read.
Police made it clear that regardless of Brennan’s disorderly habits he had not been ingesting or underneath the affect of medication at the time. However, he refused to redress regardless of multiple requests, a spokesperson mentioned.
“Do I even have anything illegal? Am I good to go through now?” Mr Brennan reportedly asked as he stood within the buff.
John Brennan was charged with disorderly conduct and indecent exposure.
A South African diving guide has taken to calming the most iconic and feared shark on the planet – the good white.
Andre Hartman greets nice white sharks as the rise from the water, by placing his palms on the animals’ snouts. In doing so, the South African is in a position to make the shark open its large jaws and fall into a trance like state, The Telegraph reported.
Hartman had his first encounter with an excellent white over 30 years in the past in 1977, in accordance with an article by X-Ray Magazine.
“It tried to chew me! I was spearfishing at the time and carrying a lot of fish,” he told the journal. “It came in and tried to take me. I noticed it coming, so I gave it the gun. It didn’t like it, so it swam away.”
Doug Perrine, an American photographer who shot pictures of Hartman at work, explained the method behind the shark-whispering to the Daily Mail.
“This part of the shark’s physique is loaded with nerve endings, and the creature’s sensory system became overloaded from the stimulus. The shark seemed to enter a nice, however confused state where it was dreamily seeking the supply of the stimulus. So there was no set off for the shark to assault anything,” Perrine defined.
There are locations in the world the place it looks as if nothing really happens, and in a single such place a big pink button was installed with an indication proclaiming “PUSH TO ADD DRAMA”.
The button-pressing drama staged by the new TV channel TNT in Belgium went viral shortly after it landed on YouTube, with three million views within the first day, reported The Mirror.
At final report the video entitled “A Dramatic Surprise On a Quite Square” had over 26 million views.
Starting with a dramatic overture, the setting is established, “somewhere in somewhat city in Belgium, on a square where nothing really happens, we placed a button”.
A massive red button egging all passersby to start the motion.
Within one minute and forty six seconds the quiet square erupts into chaos as a shirtless emergency medical technician (EMT) will get in a fist struggle, a black SUV with gun touting thugs starts a avenue battle, a scantily clad girl arrives on a motorbike and finally a group of American soccer gamers charges the sq. and removes the EMT’s original patient.
