The deadly CFB Wainwright fire started due to military training on a grenade launcher range, and was allowed to keep burning because it was impossible to reach and deemed not to be a threat.

YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING: This is the defining documentary of the moment — depending on what your definition of “is” is. Purely measuring number of “oh my god”s during my screening, Fielder has reached weapons-of-mass-destruction levels of power. Good for him — and good for … you.

J. M. W. Turner, The Fighting Temeraire, 1839

The HMS Temeraire was a famous warship from Trafalgar. By 1838, it was obsolete.

Turner saw a small steam tug drag the wooden giant down the Thames for scrap.

It changed art history forever, anticipating Impressionism and setting t.

Turner called this painting "My Darling". He refused every offer to sell it during his lifetime and left it to the British nation when he died.
