Snapping turtles are so weird, its like an evil alternate reality version of a usually benign animal.
Like if i was to find out there were snapping rabbits out there, just vicious rabbits with jaws full of razors and a bite like a trap.
Thats just a normal rabbit
Just put into Google the search terms "Napoleon" and "rabbit" and see what you get.
EDIT: It's safe for work, I promise. Well, at least the first page. Can't tell you what's on pages beyond that.
A fugitive who was finally caught and arrested over the abduction of two teenage girls was taken to police by a taxi driver who recognised him, it has emerged. Joseph McCann, 34, is being linked to several other attacks across the country, including the rape of an 11-year-old boy. Police confirmed the ‘extremely dangerous’ McCann had been arrested in Cheshire after a two-week search and a stand-off with officers overnight. The taxi driver ignored his instructions and went straight towards a police station. He said: ‘I realised who he was from the way he was acting and saying certain things like not to go down routes. ‘He was hiding his face and ducking down and told me, “Whatever happens don’t go down the A34”. ‘Further up the road, I saw a police officer talking to another member of the public on the side of the road so I flashed them.
‘I pulled up and he started to punch me in the face, the officer jumped in the car. I put on the child locks but he kept pulling at the door and it opened. ‘He started fighting with the officer and he picked up a broken bit of glass off the floor and ran off into the fields. We ran after him but we blocked the main road off.’ McCann is now being investigated over seven incidents across Cheshire, Manchester, Lancashire, London and Hertfordshire between April 21 and Sunday.

A man allegedly flooded a hotel while high on drugs by opening fire hydrants on 18 storeys, causing $1.6m of damage.
Bradley Vogt, 28, was found in the stairwell with mop in hand by firefighters as they responded to more than 400,000 litres of water flooding out of the Southbank building.
The Traralgon man had been consuming large amounts of drugs in his hotel room before he decided to open all the fire hydrants on levels 1 to 18, police allege.

The modern submarine is not a simple machine. A loss of propulsion, unexpected flooding, or trouble with reactors or weapons can doom a sub crew to a watery grave.
Also, it’s a good idea to, like, close the hatches before you dive.
Call it a lesson learned for the Indian navy, which managed to put the country’s first nuclear-missile submarine, the $2.9 billion INS Arihant, out of commission in the most boneheaded way possible.The Hindu reported yesterday that the Arihant has been out of commission since suffering “major damage” some 10 months ago, due to what a navy source characterized as a “human error” — to wit: allowing water to flood to sub’s propulsion compartment after failing to secure one of the vessel’s external hatches.

Hahahaha. They're faster and harder to see underwater.
When I went to school down in southern Missouri, my roommate convinced me to go noodling with his cousins. The guy who was showing us how to do it was missing his pinky and fourth finger. When we asked him if it was safe, he said, "As long as you're just finding catfish down there and not snappers." And held up his hand with the missing fingers.

I dunno if catfish noodlers are the dumbest or ballsiest people alive. At best, a giant catfish swallows their arm. At worst, the catfish is actually a snapping turtle.
I mean, we already have a perfectly safe method for catching large catfish without letting snapping turtles chomp our bits off. And it's easier than noodling!

It is hard to believe this cutting edge tech hasn't been installed in a 2.9 billion dollar sub.
American procedure is to check an indicator in control, check an indicator near the hatch, test the hatch manually, check off on the paper list that each verification for the hatch being sealed. Then someone else does it all over again. Sometimes a third time because while this is going on the same thing is happening all over the boat and some checks take longer than others and you don't get to stop until every single hatch, pipe, and valve or any other potential entry for water are verified in the same way.
The only time a sub's catastrophically sunk since SUBSAFE was implemented was the USS Scorpion back in '68 whose SUBSAFE overhaul hadn't been conducted. As a process it's about as perfect as humanly possible. Multiple points of mandatory verification along with regular casual inspection by people walking by who know what signs to look for and what to do if they see them.
The root cause is simply that the Indian Navy hasn't been operating subs for very long, and they hadn't adopted best practices in use in other navies (such as SUBSAFE.)
I would imagine, after such a public black eye, they will be adopting SUBSAFE.

What happens when you need to do an emergency dive?
You don't go into a situation where you may need to until you have performed the securing process.

What happens when you need to do an emergency dive?
You run the checks fast.
Seriously though, as I understand it, subs should never have to make an emergency dive, because they have no need to surface anywhere where an emergency dive might be necessary.
Granted, I'm not a Navy person and have never been on a sub. But if Hollywood can be trusted...
Typicly if there is even a remote chance that they might be attacked they never go above snorkling depth. Even commando-insertion is done from snorkling depth to make sure that the submarine is ready to dive.

What happens when you need to do an emergency dive?
A scenario where you’re not already submerged is... unlikely. General practice is once you’re down you stay down until you’re done with whatever you’re doing. Every emergency deep I’ve been a part of took place while already under.
Otherwise I’d imagine they’d still do the checks, just really god damn fast.

Firefighters told him to go downstairs for his own safety, but later found him on level 4 allegedly re-opening another hydrant.
He was then found lying on the ground, partially submerged in water and still holding the mop.
Mr Vogt then barricaded himself in a room downstairs before lashing out at police when they tried to arrest him, according to the hotel manager.

A doorbell camera captured the moment a snake attacked a man in a video that will make your skin crawl.
Jerel Heywood was visiting Rodney Copeland's home on Sunday in Lawton, Oklahoma when the attack occurred.
The snake was wrapped around a porch light, Copeland said.
As Heywood opens the screen door, the snake pops into the corner of the camera and bites into Heywood's head before retreating.
The victim is okay, but the owner is taking no chances:
Copeland said it was the first time he found a snake in his home. He imagines the 5-foot-5-incher was taking refuge from recent heavy rains. He hopes to keep away any potential lurkers by spraying the yard with sulfuric acid.
"I hear they don't like that," he said.
Apparently snapping turtles are only cranky outside of the water. Or at least that's the line that the lady with the snapping turtle in the museum gave us.

According to police reports, the javelin was sticking out of the field at an angle. It went through Elija’s back. He immediately went down and his teammates packed the area with gauze until he could be rushed to a hospital for emergency surgery.
The javelin reportedly went straight through Godwin’s body and punctured his lung.
Medical personnel had to saw off the piece sticking out of his back to get him into the ambulance, but the front piece of the javelin was still in his chest.
Snapping turtles are too angry and spiteful not to save. Yeah, I know all they want to do is bite my head off in many angry chomps, but I can't help but respect and admire so much rage and hate in one bitey package.
Plus that's one very angry ghost you don't want to have you on it's list of unfinished business.
