Jumping Off World’s Tallest Building

This is the moment a pair of daredevil skydivers set a new base jump world record by leaping 2,717 feet off the tallest building in the world.  Veteran base jumpers Fred Fugen and Vince Reffet prepared for their record breaking leap from Dubai's Burj Khalifa tower by spending time up a Swiss mountain to acclimatise to the altitude.  The men are not the first to base jump from the top of the tower - which is roughly twice the height of New York's Empire State Building - but they had a special platform built to add an extra 500 feet, enabling them to break the world record.

The spine-tingling video shows the two base jumpers dive from the world's tallest building and plummet towards the ground, before eventually pulling the chord on their parachutes and landing safely.

Israeli PM Netanyahu Interview On Fox News

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared Thursday April 24 2014. that a new agreement between rival Palestinian factions Hamas and Fatah is "killing peace," even as U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry voiced hope that talks could be salvaged.

The Israeli leader spoke with Fox News shortly after the Israeli government cut off Mideast peace talks. The Israelis halted negotiations over the announcement that terror group Hamas and Fatah would seek reconciliation.

In an interview with Fox News' Bret Baier, Netanyahu stated that peace talks are "essentially buried" if Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas forges ahead with the agreement.
"It's a blow to Israel; it's a blow to peace," he said. "It's a terrible blow to the Palestinian people, because they must choose, too, whether they want to go forward or go backward. Yesterday, with the pact with Hamas, the Palestinian people went, took a huge step backward, away from peace, away from a good future for themselves."

Yaakov Lemmer At Warsaw Ghetto Uprising Memorial

Yaakov Lemmer sings E l Molei Rachamim at Warsaw Ghetto Uprising 70th Memorial on April 18 2013. The events came exactly 70 years after about 750 poorly armed Jews began armed resistance to the German forces, who were sending ghetto residents to death camps. The revolt was crushed in May, and the ghetto was razed to the ground, its residents killed.

The Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Zubin Mehta, performed works by Beethoven in Warsaw's Grand Theater in honor of the fighters- a gala event attended by Komorowski, Prime Minister Donald Tusk and Rotem. Before the concert, Cantor Yaakov Lemmer appeared on a stage designed to evoke the old ghetto and sang a prayer for Holocaust victims.

Muslims Mob Attacks Jewish Children on Temple Mount

Several dozen hareidi Jews, including children, ascended the Temple Mount on Wednesday. April 23 2014.  In the course of the tour of the Mount, Muslims began hurling objects at the hareidim, spat at them, hurled shoes and sticks and pulled the sidelocks of one of the children.  The raging Muslim mob terrified some of the children, who began to panic.  At one point one of the Jewish men seeks to reassure the frightened children.  "Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid! This is our place!" he said, referring to the Mount, the holiest site in Judaism. 

The Temple Movement blamed police for failing to disperse the Muslim attackers. “It's a miracle no one was hurt,” said a movement statement.   Despite its importance as Judaism's holiest site, Jews are forbidden from praying on the Temple Mount in order not to "provoke" Muslim worshipers at the Al Aqsa Mosque Islamic complex, which is built on top of the ruins of the ancient Jewish Temples. Those Jews who break the rules against praying are often arrested and banned from visiting.  But as in this case, even Jewish visitors who are not praying are sometimes subjected to abuse, threats and violence at the hands of Muslim worshipers.

Man Narrowly Escape Getting Hit By a Train

This 77-year-old man from the Czech Republic has never been luckier. As he foolishly scurries across a train track, the man mis-times his walk and almost gets killed by a speeding train. The train comes so close to hitting him on the tracks that it actually does. His foot is clipped by the train and you can see one of his shoes fly across the video. Judging by how fast his shoe is catapulted, you can imagine what would have happened to the rest of his body if he was half a step slower.

Snowmobilers Charged By Angry Moose

A New Hampshire couple got more than they bargained for, while snowmobiling in Jackson, Maine. The couple, identified as Janis and Bob Powell of Belmont, N.H., were riding along a snowmobiling trail on Friday when a moose jumped out in front of them. They followed the moose for a short distance before it suddenly veered off the snowmobile track, turned around and charged them. The moose proceeded to charge several more times, one time even grazing Bob Powell, during the frightening standoff that lasted about two minutes.

Bob Powell tried to keep the snowmobile between himself and the moose. He fell back to his wife’s machine when the moose charged. With no trees to use as cover, Janis Powell fired a warning shot toward the moose. Unperturbed, the moose stared at the couple for a few seconds longer before ambling off down the trail.
