Canada’s Goldstream River suddenly turned neon green. Horrified nature lovers at Goldstream Provincial Park watched as the Goldstream River turned bright green. It happened on December 29, 2010. The waters of the river suddenly became neon green, and everyone passing by it rubbed their eyes to make sure what they were seeing wasn’t just an illusion. After analyzing the neon green water, the local Environment Ministry said it was the result of a chemical called “fluorescein”. Neither the substance itself nor its products of degradation are toxic, and experts believe that fish and their habitat were not affected, judging by the concentration and flow rate of the river. The chemical is usually used to trace leaks from septic tanks and water systems and can be bought online. Fluorescein is also used in medical diagnosis and guidelines warn it can cause reactions ranging from nausea and hives to death from anaphylactic shock...
When first looking at the photos you could think they are from a Si-Fi movie. Well, that’s not the case because this tower will be ready by 2016 when the Olympic games will start. The tower will be placed in Cotonduba Island as both a welcome sign for the visitors arriving by air and by sea at Rio de Janeiro, and also an observation tower. The entire structure is autonomous, as the electricity needed to power it up will come either from the sun or the surrounding water’s movement. The tower will host a number of shops, auditoriums and cafeterias, some of which will be placed under the giant waterfall. Also near the top of the structure, a bungee jumping platform will be installed for those seeking a good dose of adrenaline.
