You are looking for the risk we live today dangerously. Yet some contemporaries look for additional hazards or go, like these students of the Belgrade school of parachute record hunting. They jumped By the way 6,000 m deep and had to fly through a field of temperature of 60 degrees difference.
The adventure of great dangers is No more the man's domain. The daughter-in-law of the former President of France, Madama Auriol, has chosen, for example, the Jet itself, 1.151 km per hour the absolutely fastest woman in the world to be with.
In the artist's career, the risk for the woman long is the daily bread. However, these images are unusual. The artist Rose Gold shifted the venue of their activity at the top of the Eiffel Tower, to you, ladies and gentlemen, to prepare a new 300-meter sensation.
Also for the film doubles, the danger has become the profession. They have the task to establish the fame of many screen heroes at break-neck shooting in adventure films.

Humans before machines were the not less dangerous living favorites of the Grand Prix of Europe at the Nürburgring: Graf Berghe von trips No.3 of Stirling Moss No. 7 No. 4 Phill Hill and Dan Gurney No. 9.
Soon after starting the race on the most difficult slope of the world to an end was for many. At the entrance to the South curve, the Englishman Graham Hill came off from the car. Fortunately he was unhurt.
The fight against the top class was so A lot how desperate for the Porsche team. The decision was trips between Stirling Moss and the stronger to 30 HP Ferrari cars with Phill Hill and count.
The race turned into the fastest, which was hit on the ring. The legendary "nine minute barrier" has been breached several times. Soon prevailed thanks to its superior driving style at the forefront Stirling Moss and drove the Grand Prix of Europe before Graf trips home.

In the shadow of the economic miracle a car brand under the once race engines for the Cooper car were built in good times, is likely to gradually from our traffic image disappear: the Borgward. It was for the 20,000 dismissed Bremer Borgward worker to do the last walk to the factory to pick up the last wage. Bremen's Prime Minister Kaisen, who has tried everything to bail out the automotive group, said: orig. tone: "if we humans experience with the promotion of the work and it has been itself, then we feel Of course completely different feelings for the work, as if we make remarks at its end. It was but a matter of course, that you need the social interests of those layers that need help or support, and so on, regulates."
"Mr. President of the Senate, do you think that it is Once again To give a new beginning for the Borgward works?"
"But of course! There is the labour force, there are the large halls, there are the huge machines, because the boom is, there is for each worker that can ever be available."
In the month of the Borgward disaster, the Federal Republic has reached a new low with 93,000 unemployed. These images can be the occasion to think again about the economic miracle.

Still and always more zone refugees voting with its feet determine the headlines in the press.
1,400 come a day, nearly 11,000 a week, 100,000 in half a year. Total came about 2 1/2 million people in the Soviet zone. A State apparatus loses its people and is thus refuted. Lenin called something a voting with its feet.
The saving freedom trail for all by air from West Berlin to West Germany. The stream of refugees reminiscent of the uprising years in 1953.
The second of the three routes of connecting between the German capital and the free West brought back these days holiday children to Berlin.
Still, visitors from all over the world in Tegel and Tempelhof land. But countless kilometers verödetes frontier are reminiscent of the final isolation threat. Berlin is a city daily, if not hourly, challenging our whole vigilance. Some may question whether it is worthwhile. But who asks this question, doubt whether it is worth to stand up for freedom.
There are the names of famous places of entertainment and hospitable homes, and it not the gloss of city's only that here behind the countless small freedoms the freedom we feel. There is something that we can not show you something that lives between the houses and lights, namely. A life that's been shaped by 16 years hard Communist neighborhood and can exist only in freedom; and if it is only the freedom to play choice songs on an organ.

Also a music festival the colleagues of Berliner Leierkasten man, the last carrier of sentimental backyard romance, now gathered in the Danish Aalborg. There had been called up by a friend of these descendants of old Court and ballad singer Guild competition the street singer. The event was international.
Winner of the Grand Prix of the street singers; Christian Bering of the Lake.
