Four dead after crash of a military plane A400M

Four people have died today in the crash of a military plane A400M, Airbus company, a mile north of the San Pablo Airport in Sevilla.

The only two survivors, Jose Luis Augusto and Joaquin Anaya, have been transferred to medical facilities in critical condition.

The Airbus's plane was doing its first fly ever when the plane suffered a problem in flight and tried to make an emergency landing, but it crashed into a pylon while the pilots were trying to land the plane.

We still don't know the cause of that emergency landing but I hope to know that information soon.

Many politics will come today at Sevilla to offer condolences to family victims.

TED Talk: Google's driverless car

How many people do you know that had any traffic accident ?
I am sure that the answere is more than one.
The video that I am going to explain was made by a Google's businessman who afflicted  that someone near him died because of a traffic accident.

When it happened he decided to begin a new project about a car driven by computers. One of the reasons of this project was because nearly 98% of  traffic accidents were caused by human errors that could be avoided with the correct technology.
Actually his project hasn't saved anybody yet, but it seems that they are going to reach that goal because they have already come up with a prototype of car that is driven by itself.

News: Is cheap oil killing the planet?

The oil suffered a very high reduction of its price and such reduction has been applied since 1990.
This reduction has cause all kind of reactions in the world, like for example as it was expected the people buy more oil so they spend more. Now that the oil is cheaper a lot of people won't be interested in electric or more efficient cars and that could be a problem. In a few years the Earth will be completely out of oil and and that will happen sooner because of the cheap oil.

I have read that this reduction of oil could be and strategy of USA against Russia, because for Russia make oil is more expensive than USA so Russia could lose a lot of money.

News: Internet for everyone!

Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook, is making a new project witch is make that everybody of the world can be connected to internet. He says that only 1/3 of the people has access to internet and this has to change, there are a lot of countries that lack of internet  and this Zuckerberg's project will make the infrastructure of internet cheaper so everybody could has access to it freely.

 But, first of all they have to talk with all the companies of the world and make an agreement, which is difficult because many of them will lose a considerable mount of money.

 I think that project could be a very good idea,
but I am afraid that it could not be possible, because there are a lot of companies the would lose money and will not be agree to do it.

News: The Force is with the new 'Star Wars' trailer

Today has revealed the new trailer of classic saga of Star Wars.That trailer has surprised everybody because in theory the trailer should be released to early next year. The trailer is not more longer than a minute and a half but is really exiting, it shows up new characters, vehicles and the legendary "Millennium Falcon" at the end of the trailer. The director of the hoped movie is J.J. Abrams, he did really good movies as Super 8, Lost, Armageddon, Mission: Impossible III.

The saga Star Wars was bought by the popular company Disney two years ago with the idea of renew the saga doing a new movie and make the wish of many fans true.

As a fan of Star Wars I am afraid of that new movie of Star Wars, I think that the sage was already completed and a new movie will get the movie worse.

News: Black Friday shopping in US marred by violence

The day before Thanksgiving,Black Friday, is the biggest shopping day of the year in the US. And one year more Black Friday make violence around the USA.
Black Friday is the day that begins the holiday shopping season in the supermarkets with important discounts. The problem of Black Friday is every year it's the same, people queuing since midnight to 4 am or 5 am only for the discounts. I think the problem is not the Black Friday, it is the people,  they are very violence and it's dangerous for other people like children. And most of this things will be thrown away, because it is not necessary.

So I think that this kind of mind should be changed, and enjoy more that we have and consume less.

Spanish PM Rajoy: Most politicians not corrupt

The Spanish prime minister, Mariano Rajoy, has exposed the in the Congress that Spain is not corrupt. An affirmation like this should be credible and normal, but Spain is different.

Mariano Rajoy announced that just the day before Ana Mato, politician of "PP", resigned after a judge said she benefited from corrupt practices allegedly involving her husband.

And this is only one case of corruption in Spain. There are a lot of politician of "PP" that had been judged by a tribunal and have been arrested. Even a princess as Cristina have been imputed. And I am sure that still there are more politicians that have not been judged because of their massive power in Spain.

News: Boy with air gun was shot 2 seconds after Cleveland police arrived

Yesterday  a 12 years old black boy died in Cleveland while he was shooting the people around him with a fake gun. Police came immediately and killed the boy just after they arrived. This is not the first fail that police have committed, lately police in the USA had killed many black people just for precaution when in fact a lot of them even weren't dangerous. 

These facts have made a lot of people angry and did many manifestations again that the police react different depending on the colour of skin.  

This problem persists a long time. I think that this problem began with the policy of the USA. There is a lot of liberty with guns, everybody more than 18 years old can buy a gun without any authorization, that is the cause of why people see the guns with total normality when it should be just for extreme situations.

Hotels in Space

The idea of live in the space has become more real lately. Many of important organisations and companies like NASA want to transform this idea in reality. The reason of this is because this companies have spent a lot of money and now they are running out of it. They have calculated that in 2016 they won't have enough budget to do their investigations. Of course this hotels will be just available for very rich or important persons. But I'm very exited with the idea of living in the space. I think that the most beautiful view you can see is in the in space, isn't it?

Juan Carlos I to abdicate

Yesterday the Spain's king decided to abdicate after his realm which it was nearly 40 years. We actually don't know the reason of his decision but we can guess that  decision was because of his old age and he prefer give the Spain kingdom to his son who is the prince Felipe which in the opinion of Juan Carlos his son have a lot of experience and think that Felipe will do it well.

This abdication arrives in a bad moment. The European voting shows the rise of the leftist political parties and now these political parties which don't want a monarchy and want a new Republic of Spain.

Unless something respectable happens Felipe son of Juan Carlos will be proclaimed king in 19th of June.

 This game doesn't have any kind special thing, it is about trying to pass through the middle of the pipes. Flappy Bird looks like the famous game Mario, and maybe this is the answer of why, the owner of the Flappy Bird delete the game.
