Tunnel escape the publicity focused those, who feel an incident at the Berlin wall as a troublesome disturbance of the peace, once again on the sector boundary. In the House Bernaustrasse 97, we tried to get into it but in vain. The photo rights from the escape action of the year were been awarded exclusively to a magazine.
These film shots, someday maybe is seen as a document of a grotesque time history, were produced by one of the escape helpers. Before 57 people it was allowed the freedom to escape, 35 people had worked for 6 months day and night, to drive a 140 metres long and up to 1 meter 20 high tunnels in the eastern sector. The refugees in a disused West Berlin bakery shop were hoisted with a winch.
The refugees from the zone in the deserted backyard of an East Berlin border House were launched after a risky plan. Before another 200 refugees could withdraw from Ulbricht paradise, Vopos discovered the tunnel. A people's policeman was shot during the retreat. The way to freedom did manage 57 people.

Japan's Olympic hopes of tomorrow particularly stubbornly pursued the pole vaulter, of which only A few secret still the technique of landing could with their curiosity. Days rain gave opportunity again once discreetly pointed out, that the hygiene is one of the passions of the country to the Japanese. But then the rain of according to Japanese stage direction stopped to make the necessary luster to the most magnificent Olympic opening ceremony in the history.

(Accident story)
"It depends on the order on this table with, how quickly and successfully runs an operation." The scalpel is located next to the tweezers. The Hemostat is located next to the DECHAMPS.
Can depend on the order in a tool box it sometimes, how quickly makes the acquaintance with the surgeon.
Just take a screwdriver, if you have no chisel.
It is especially useful when the handle is already patched. But not so timid. Get quiet vigorously on it... because with me,'re right!"

Sand rail study a bit wistfully we took leave of a sport, which inspired the summer months through the old and the young and the Saison now noisily came to an end; from the dirt road race.
The last practice laps were filmed at the BBM Stadium in Munich. There are 500 cc solo machines, all in his own workshop designed and tinkered together. And the next day they - the cars and their followers, and the riders and their followers, came into the sport Coupé or on foot, wealthy and less wealthy - a very broad audience.
While the gold-painted garlands are unloaded, the matadors and their brides prepare in the Paddock the start. Almost family atmosphere is created between the wheels, tires and parts. Sand rail riders are individualists, and the faces of their supporters can be read off a similar approach to life. It should be even intellectuals among them.
Sand rail engines fueled according to a special recipe with methyl alcohol, the driver itself according to an old custom with beer. Then filled the tires, chains tested - and now you can actually go.
You see, folks, at the end of the season is the elite at the start. She has to go four rounds on a 7 1/2 kilometre long route and achieved speeds of 160 kilometers per hour.
Especially in the present radio reporters, the voltage - reached the boiling point as always already after a short time. The solo machines have no brakes and that's why there is no sand track racing without crashes. But most falls go out like this so lightly.
In this race, the 50 riders total 2501 consume methyl alcohol - an amount that is sufficient to beat about a thousand people with blindness. Here, however, the dust that the audience really involved in the action already Do it.
A real dirt road race leaves the feeling to have, been witnessed an interesting event daring men to have experienced and a Tickle, otherwise known as no other sport in the audience.
