BBC NEWS | Americas | Woman to build house out of 747

For some reason I don’t quite see how a 747 looks feminine, but each to their own. At least she’s recycling something.

A California woman is going ahead with the construction of a house made of elements from a 747 Jumbo jet.

The ghostly salt city beneath Detroit

I lived there for 4 years and never heard anything about this.

It is a world of salt.

This gigantic salt mine, 1,200 feet beneath the surface, spreads out over more than 1,400 acres with 50 miles of roads. It lies underneath Dearborn’s Rouge complex , much of Melvindale and the north end of Allen Park. The mine shaft opening is in Detroit.
