Aerial view of the completed arch on September 9, 2009 in Arizona. Twelve years in planning and five years in construction, the Mike O’Callaghan-Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge is finally taking shape. As illustrated in these incredibly detailed photographs, the structure, which is known more widely as the Hoover Dam Bridge or Bypass, is on schedule for its September 2010 completion date. Rising 890 ft above the Colorado River, when finished, its total length will be 1,900 ft, with its longest supported span running to 1080 ft. Built in the shadow of the iconic Hoover Dam, which powers most of Nevada and Arizona, the construction is the first concrete-steel composite arch bridge built in the United States. With costs estimated to run to £160 million, the bridge is designed to take the pressure off the congested US Highway 93 and is expected to carry 17,000 trucks and cars daily.
Coloured X-ray of a glass jam jar lodged in the rectum of an elderly man. The man was apparently suffering from constipation before this remedial measure, in which he inserted this jam jar high into the colon. From broken bones to disease the X-Ray is one of the most useful medical advancements in history. But as these images show they can also reveal some of the most gruesome and bizarre results. From a bullet in foot of Boer War soldier in 1899 to spoons, blades and even a toothbrush accidently lodged in an intestine. The comical yet disturbing results are taken from hospitals around the world, show how accidents come in all shapes and sizes. X-rays were first observed and documented in 1895 by Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen, a German scientist who found them quite by accident when experimenting with vacuum tubes. X-rays are, like light and radio waves, a form of electromagnetic radiation. Special X-ray techniques, using special dye inserted into the arteries, can be used to investigate problems with the soft tissues of the body. CT scanning is a further development of the use of X-rays, using a sophisticated scanner connected to a computer, it is possible to construct a series of pictures that look at the living body in cross-section.
