Singapore Zoo white tiger kills man
this may be disturbing to some. if you cant stomach it, dont watch it.
SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Three white tigers mauled a Malaysian to death in Singapore's zoo Thursday after the man jumped into their enclosure, a zoo official said.
"Nordin Bin Montong, 32, a Malaysian working as a cleaner at the zoo, leapt into the moat of the white tiger exhibit and was attacked, said Biswajit Guha, assistant director of zoology at the Singapore Zoo in a statement.
The noise from the attack caught the attention of zookeepers nearby and they eventually managed to distract the tigers and rescue Nordin.
"Keepers managed to separate the worker from the tiger. While waiting for the ambulance, our vets attended to him," said Guha. "The worker tragically succumbed to his wound."
Singapore's Straits Times newspaper said on its website that Nordin was seen behaving in an agitated manner before he fell into the moat. Terrified visitors near the section watched the vicious attack in horror and screamed, the paper said.
According to conservation group WWF, there are about 4,000 tigers left in the world and they are considered an endangered species.
White tigers are even rarer because they suffer from a genetic condition that strips their fur of the orange pigment, leaving the animal with snow white fur, black stripes and blue eyes."

US Army's Quick Kill Active Protection System
"Quick Kill detects incoming RPGs and anti-tank missiles with an active electronically scanned array radar. Once its speed, trajectory and intercept point are computed, Quick Kill vertically soft-launches a small countermeasure missile. The countermeasure missile intercepts the incoming threat and destroys it with a focused blast warhead. All this happens within a blink of an eye. The Quick Kill missile has 360-degree capability and a reload capability, with each launcher typically containing eight to 16 missles. It could be used stationary or on the move with a wide range of vehicles from armored personnel carriers to airborne helicopters.
It is reported that the Humvee or JLTV may not be suitable for the Quick Kill APS, due to the blast pressures generated when the incoming warhead detonates, which would likely buckle lightly armored vehicles."

this is one badass vehicle
though i have a hard time believing the combat readiness of vehicles until its been tested in a hell like iraq.
dubbed as -“The world’s largest, most luxurious, handcrafted, biofuel powered, full armoured SUV”, we'll see if it holds up against an IED in a drumtank.
