Oymyakon in Siberia, Russia – The Coldest Town on Earth

Wednesday, December 23rd, 2009

Oymyakon in Siberia, Russia - The Coldest Town on Earth

Well, Oymyakon is not really a town. It’s a village. With population just a bit over 500, Oymyakon in Siberia, Russia is otherwise pretty insignificant. The only thing that gives it some significance are the weather and low temperatures Oymyakon occasionally gets. While I don’t doubt Oymyakon is pretty darn close, it does seem that some facts about the weather there get rather twisted.

Take a look at the video below. It’s from some British TV series about the most extreme places on Earth. It’s nicely done, no doubt, but I live in Edmonton, which is hands down the coldest metropolitan city in the world and the cold weather we get here is real. I know what -32 feels like and it’s not quite the way this video presents it as. I somehow doubt it was truly -32 Celsius when the video was filmed.

Having lived in extreme cold most of my life, I often get asked whether various degrees of freezing cold make any difference to the way it is perceived. The cold is the cold is the cold. Well, not it isn’t. If you have lived in cold climates long enough, you will be able to handle most freezing temperatures, but -30 is the threshold. It doesn’t matter how used to this cold you are, -30 will get you. -40 is beyond brutal but we have to deal with that for at least a couple of weeks each winter. Last winter we had temperatures of below -40 for two months.

Things can be manipulated for the camera. Given its position in cold Siberia, Oymyakon is without doubt a cold village, but let’s not make it colder than it is. If any of Oymyakon were to try Edmonton for just one winter, their attitude on cold would change. Anyway, the video from Oymyakon is below. Looks like a nice place.

Leaked Police Tape of Tim McLean Beheading by Vince Weiguang Li

Sunday, August 3rd, 2008

Above is the leaked police tape that was recorded after the police was called on the scene of gruesome stabbing and beheading of Tim McLean by Vince Weiguang Li aboard Greuhound bus en route to Winnipeg, Manitoba. The leaked tape includes verbal description of gruesome acts performed by Vince Weiguang Li that some viewers may find offensive or disturbing. Play at your own risk.

There’s nothing like boarding a Greyhound bus from Edmonton to Winnipeg (those are cities in Canada), put on the headphones with some of your favorite music and fall asleep as you’re carried by an overpriced transport service to your destination, only to be woken up to savage stabbing and beheading. This is what happened to 22 year old Tim McLean who was returning to his home town of Winnipeg, Manitoba after a carnival work in Edmonton, Alberta. Needless to say, Tim McLean never reached his destination. The bus ride was interrupted few kilometers from Portage La Prairie, Manitoba after another fellow passenger – 40 year old Vince Weiguang Li pulled out a butcher knife and stared to stab sleeping Tim McLean without any provocation of previous confrontation.

For more information, click on stabbing and decapitation of Tim McLean on board Greyhound bus.

The leaked police tape contains a recording of radio transmissions among RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) officers after they’d responded to the murder call on a Greyhound bus. The communication among the police describes the happenings aboard the bus after all passengers fled and Vince Weiguang Li was locked in with then probably dead corpse of Tim McLean.

The cops are not too happy about their “operational communication” being leaked, but obviously someone among their own ranks helped it on the internet and now it’s too late to do anything about it. The tape is leaked, deal with it.
