Jazeera Airways put up pictures taken at the aiport yesterday because of their “Fly to Beirut for FREE” campaign. Chairman and CEO Marwan Boodai was actually at the airport himself handing out the free tickets. [Pictures]

Note: They now started a 75% off campaign.

Yesterday night on my way to the airport I saw an accident on the 5th ring road just before exit 50. The accident was still fresh since the medics were still at the scene. Turns out a bus carrying works some how rammed into the back of a truck so it was pretty messed scene with a lot of injuries. Here are two pictures I managed to take as I was passing by.

update: Here is a good video shot at the scene by Zaina [Video]

Found this via Hilaliya, some teacher who was living in Kuwait in the 80s scanned some old pictures he had taken here and uploaded them to his flicker account. Some cool stuff, Kuwait really hasn’t changed much. [Pictures]

While looking for an image of Kuwait Airways for the post below I found this cool site that has pictures of sugar packets from a whole bunch of airlines around the world. [Link]

Here is also a link to a gallery I found before with pictures of spoons from various airlines around the world. [Link]

Some guys on vacation in Hawaii break in to the set of Lost. [Link]

Pictures of some really beautiful libraries. [Link]

Pictures of a badly burnt Lamborghini with the driver and passenger still inside. The two people couldn’t get out of the car because they couldn’t get the doors open since the car was upside down and the doors open upwards. The pictures are really graphic so you are warned. [Link]

Flickr has partnered with Nokia to offer pre-installed Flickrness on some N Series phones so you can easily upload high res originals directly from your device without having to download and install any additional applications. [Link]

Thats a lot of post-its. Keep clicking on the pictures for more. [Link]

I found this high resolution picture of London via Digg and it was taken sometime around the 1930s. I really love it. Notice how everyone is wearing the same black and beigh colors and how all the cars are also similar in colors. [Link]

What the hell! Not only have Fasttelco blocked Flickr but it seems they have blocked other photo sites including stock.xchng! Stock.xchng is a site I check every now and then whenever I needed some HiRes images for work. The site is like Corbis and Photodisc except its free. I was just trying to check it now and I got the Fasttelco block page, what losers.

I just took some more pictures of Nats PowerBook. They are higher quality so you can see exactly what you would be getting. [Pictures]

If you are interested in it, here is more info. [Link]

Someone emailed me these pictures of a huge Whale Shark that was caught in Kuwait. I don’t know when these pictures were taken but since I haven’t heard about this before it could be very recent. Seems the pictures are old but you still check them out below..
