China Unveils Lightweight 3D-Printed Car

Chinese engineers have unveiled their country's first 3D-printed car.

The 3.6-metre long (11.9ft) and 1.63-metre (5.5ft) wide vehicle was made within five days using low-cost composite materials in south China's Hainan Province.

Chief designer Chen Mingqiao said the two-seater convertible "features high strength and toughness".

"The density of the material is much lighter than that of the metal, only one-seventh or one-eighth.

"Lighter weight will help save energy in the future." 

The vehicle is powered by rechargeable batteries and can reach a maximum speed of 40 kilometres (24 miles) an hour.

'Did They Shoot?' Tourists Flee Tunisia Gunmen

Footage has emerged showing terrified tourists fleeing as Islamic State gunmen launched a deadly assault on a museum in Tunisia.

Italian tourist Maria Rita Gelotti was filming during a guided tour of the Bardo Museum in Tunis when a first explosion rang out, quickly followed by another.

Ms Gelotti is heard asking her husband Marcello Salvatori "did they shoot?" as gunfire echoed through the building and holidaymakers and staff ran for cover.

The couple hid in a fire escape while three gunmen attacked the renowned Tunis museum, killing 21 people, the deadliest attack on tourists in Tunisia in 13 years.

Now safely back in Italy, Ms Gelotti said: "We cried and hugged. My husband and me thought we would die because while we descended the stairs we heard Kalashnikovs firing behind and on top of us.

"Then I saw a guy with his trousers covered in blood. We didn't know how many dead there were in there. We didn't know anything. All that night I cried, genuinely frightened."

Her husband said: "To be honest, I thought immediately, 'Is someone shooting at us?' Suddenly, after another shot, then we realised that it could be an attack, but as the shot resounded I thought that had been a bomb.

"We began to move, to walk, then we were running."

IS claimed responsibility for attacking the museum, which counts among its exhibits a trove of Roman mosaics.

Police identified the two dead attackers as Tunisians in their 20s who had trained in Libya.

Gregg Allman Biopic Crash Caused By Trespass

Trespass by the crew shooting a film about the rock singer Gregg Allman led to a train crash which killed one person and left six others injured.

The final report into the incident in Georgia in February 2014 has been released by federal safety investigators.

The director of the film, Midnight Rider, pleaded guilty earlier this month to involuntary manslaughter and trespassing charges stemming from the crash in rural Wayne County, about 70 miles (113km) southwest of Savannah.

Randall Miller was sentenced to two years in a county jail and eight years' probation.

Camera assistant Sarah Jones, 27, was killed when an oncoming train tore through the set while she and other crew members installed equipment to film on active train tracks and a trestle bridge.

"Americans have a longstanding affinity with railroads and railroad tracks," said Christopher Hart, chairman of the National Transportation Safety Board, which issued the report.

"But train tracks are private property and are dangerous places where trains kill and injure hundreds of people every year," he added in a statement.

Allman, who was married to Cher in the 1970s, was not named in the criminal case.

He was dropped from a civil lawsuit in which Ms Jones' family is seeking unspecified financial damages from the people and movie companies involved in the film project.

Germanwings Plane Crash Recovery Resumes

Recovery teams have resumed their search in hazardous terrain after a passenger plane plunged into a mountainside killing all 150 people on board.

Investigators are also examining the black box voice recorder of the doomed Germanwings aircraft in the hunt for clues as to what caused the Airbus A320 to crash in the French Alps without issuing a mayday call.

Meanwhile, Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said it was "likely that there were some British nationals" on the Airbus A320.

Overnight rain and snow at the crash site has made the rocky ravine slippery, increasing problems in reaching the area.

Images of the area show the plane had completely disintegrated, with the fuselage smashed into small pieces, the largest of which is about the size of a small car.

The plane was en route from Barcelona in Spain, to Dusseldorf, Germany, when it came down on Tuesday morning less than an hour into its flight at Meolans-Revels, between Barcelonnette and Digne.

None of the 144 passengers and six crew survived the crash.

Among those on board were 16 children and two teachers from the same school in Haltern Am See in Germany were on the plane, returning home after an exchange visit.

The mayor of a town close to the site of the crash has said the families of those killed are expected to begin arriving in the town on Wednesday morning.

The French authorities said although the black box had been damaged, it is thought to be "useable".

Although officials insist no cause has been ruled out, terrorism is not considered likely.

Officials said flight 4U 9525, which took off at 10.01am (9.01am UK time), had started descending one minute after reaching its cruising height.

It then plummeted from 38,000ft to 6,800ft in eight minutes before crashing - dropping about 4,000ft a minute.

French aviation authorities said the plane did not issue a distress call and had lost radio contact with air traffic controllers at 10.53am.

Germanwings said the plane had a normal service at Dusseldorf on Monday and its last major check-up was in the summer of 2013. Experts have said the A320 has a relatively good safety record.

However, some Lufthansa crews are refusing to fly "for personal reasons" which has led to a number of flights being cancelled, the airline admitted.

German foreign minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier was flown over the site and called it "a picture of horror".

Alps Plane Crash: The Lines Of Investigation

Alps Plane Crash: The Lines Of Investigation

We use cookies to give you the best experience. If you do nothing we'll assume that it's ok.

Air crash investigators are working around the clock to establish what caused the Germanwings A320 plane to crash in the Alps, killing all 150 people on board. Here are some of their likely lines of inquiry.

The Black Box

The black box – which records cockpit conversations and flight data – was recovered between Barcelonnette and Digne in the French Alps.

French interior minister Bernard Cazaneuve said that the box is damaged but still "useable", and should shed light on what happened in the moments before the plane plummeted.

Investigators are reportedly taking the box to Paris to extract the data.

Light Switch Rigged To Explode In Rented Home

By Sky News US Team

An explosive device rigged to a light switch has been defused by a bomb squad at a home occupied by tenants until a week ago in a Boston suburb.

The homeowner, his lawyer and an electrician were preparing the home in Milton for sale after the renters moved out when they noticed the wiring.

Police explosives specialists sealed off the street on Tuesday as they disarmed the device in an operation that took several hours.

The bomb was a gallon plastic container full of accelerant, hidden behind a recently plastered section of wall in the closet of an upstairs bedroom and wired throughout the house.

Police Chief Richard Wells told reporters on Tuesday: "By what we believe was the intent of the design of this device, it was definitely intended to do some significant destruction."

The drains of the house, on Craig Street, were also found to have been blocked with cement.

Lindel Williams, who owns the property, told the Boston Globe: "I just can't believe someone would really do this."

Investigators told reporters a husband, wife and daughter who had been renting the home since last June moved out at the weekend.

Neighbours said the home had previously been vandalised with red paint in between renters.

No arrests have yet been made.

Alps Crash: Mourning Pupils Beyond Consolation

By Mike McCarthy, in Haltern am See

In the German town of Haltern am See, north of Dusseldorf, the silence speaks.

The Airbus A320 crash has plunged the town into mourning and the normally busy lakeside streets are unusually still.

But nowhere is the depth of emotion as acute as at the Joseph-Koenig school where pupils, teachers and staff have gathered together to share their grief.

On a day when the school exchange trip was due to return from Spain, friends and families of the 16 students and two teachers who died were just beginning to process the news that there would be no coming back.

Psychologists and counsellors were brought into the school to offer what help they could but some pupils were simply beyond consolation.

On the school steps where hundreds of children would normally be making their way to and from class a host of candles burned alongside homemade signs reflecting the unfathomable pain.
