The Überlingen Air Disaster

On one serene summer night in the year 2002, the lives of 71 people were changed forever when their planes collided dramatically over a small town in Southern Germany. The subsequent investigation to find the reason how two modern aircraft ended up colliding at the same spot, at the same time, uncovered a series of seemingly small factors that combined to cause a devastating air disaster. This story also tells the tale of a father, grieving over the unfortunate loss of his entire family, and his vengeful desires to exert revenge against who he believed murdered them.

Anime Mania

Anime has made an impressive impact across the world in the past years. The anime craze has reached millions of people, increasing the number of anime fans. If there is one question though, that bugs the life out of an anime fan, it would be, “Isn’t anime the same as cartoons?”. Well, folks, anime is not the same as cartoons. While cartoons are for viewers of all ages, anime can be violent, gory and even sexual, proving to be more suitable for adult viewing. Unlike cartoons, anime provides viewers with a wide range of genres: romance, action, horror and even comedy. In Japanese, the word anime is originally an abbreviation of the word animation. It uses signature aspects of Japanese-style animation, like vibrant colours, dramatic panning and characteristic facial expressions.

Your Tarot Reading for March

Tarot is a mirror that reflects the soul. The cards represent our spiritual connection to the Universe, both tangible and intangible. With a deck of cards with pictures on them, one can grasp the past and understand how events have led up to the present. And as the cards are shuffled, these visuals change and take on a life of their own. With every shuffle, we’re infused with magic. And so it goes for March 2022.
