    Google Street View image helps police unlock murder case

    A Google Street View image of a man loading a large white plastic bag into the boot of his car has helped unravel a murder case in a northern Spanish town, police say.

    It captured the exact moment the body of the victim was allegedly being removed.

    Two people were arrested last month, accused of being responsible for the disappearance and murder of a man in October last year. His dismembered remains were found in a cemetery last week.

    Tildes is a very serious site, where we discuss very serious matters like mortality rates, mirror life and hedonic treadmill. Tags culled from the highest voted topics from the last seven days, if anyone was keeping score.

    But one of my favourite tags happens to be offbeat! Taking its original inspiration from Sir Nils Olav III, this thread is looking for any far-fetched offbeat stories lurking in the newspapers. It may not deserve its own post, but it deserves a wider audience!

    How the Routemaster Conquered London YouTube – Jago Hazzard – 15th December 2024

    How the Routemaster Conquered London

    The history of buses is long and complicated, but of all the countless types of bus that have plied Britain's streets over the many years since George Shiller's omnibus made its debut, one stands out above all the rest: the Routemaster. The Routemaster is a transport icon. It's perhaps the only type of bus that could be named by any Londoner. It first appeared 70 years ago and many of them are still working. So what's so special about this one bus.
