World's Fastest : 270.49 mph Hennessey Venom GT
It is on the one hand only about 1km/h faster than the Veyron (435.31km/h vs 434.3) but on the other hand they ran out of runway while still accelerating, or they could have gone faster (and this was from a standing start, whereas the Veyron had banking for a rolling start).
I wonder why they couldn't do the return pass for an official figure?
A 767-ER airliner takes off from a runway 1/3 too short!
More info here - http://avherald.com/h?article=46d32419
Initially they had to hold because of a Cessna disabled on the Kilimanjaro runway, but it actually sounds like they just landed at the wrong airport afterwards. They had been cleared for landing at Kilimanjaro, but Arusha's runway was visible from their position and with the same orientation as their intended destination.
The passengers were initially told they had in fact landed at Kilimanjaro, 50 km away, and were then stuck on board the aircraft for 3.5 hours until stairs could be brought from there.

Plenty of photos at the linked article too, and a different view of the takeoff
Frequently the "Emergency Landing" is simply being low on fuel and not able to make it to another airport... happens when the intended airport is shutdown. Sometimes due to weather, doesn't allow night landings, or is being used by the military.

Simultaneous approach into parallel runways
Perpendicular runways would be more impressive.

Beautiful perhaps for chubby chasers, those who adore women that do not look after themselves.
This is a knee-jerk bullshit reaction to the uber-thin basically anorexic runway models, that, quite honestly, just as few who chase chubbies, find attractive.
Fitness = beautiful. Healthy = beautiful.
Anorexia, or obesity....neither are attractive. This video and those promoting the ideas in this are just as retarded as the ones who put girls on stage with every single rib showing. Its a disgrace no matter which way you spin it.
Simultaneous approach into parallel runways
I had a similar experience doing my instrument training. I was landing at a medium sized international airport operating parallel runways, except I was flying a Cessna 172 coming in at ~90 KTS and got to see half a dozen airliners and business jets pass by me landing on the other runway.

Harrier taking off and landing on USS Kearsarge
Ooh-Rah Marine Aviation!
My grandfather was a crew chief in the Air Force for decades.
One of my favorite stories that he told was of the first time an AV-8A (original British Harrier, before US adopted them) landed at his base for a demonstration. He, along with everyone else on the flightline, watched in awe as it gently slowed to a halt mid-air, before decending to the runway. It apparently about gave them all a heart attack for fear of a stall.

nice centerline landing... lots of runways go up and down in altitude... if it goes in one direction generally you want to land UPHILL
