About 150 people were injured, but no one was killed during the West Lake International Expo opening

A dazzling display of fireworks turned horribly wrong about 30 minutes into the show when the fireworks started landing on people in the crowd.

The fireworks were being set off to open the West Lake International Expo in the eastern city of Hangzhou. While most of them exploded high in the air, organizers had some billed as low-altitude and low-pollution.

"I was thinking of going home earlier than the display closed. But suddenly something unidentified rushed towards us before I realized what it was," said local resident Mrs. Mao in a CNN article. "I saw my husband lying on the ground and I picked him up. At that time the site was in a mess as the fireworks fell on and bounded from the ground. Then we hurried to escape the site."

The inspirational young man with cerebral palsy never existed

The story of Dave on Wheels was a touching and heartbreaking one.

The deaf quadriplegic with cerebral palsy quickly became an Internet sensation with his inspiring Tweets and upbeat blog posts.

Many Twitter users changed their handles to include the words "on Wheels" in support of him and at one point, @daveonwheels had more than 15,000 followers. News outlets around the world including ABC News, the New York Daily News and Huffington Post picked up the story.

And that's when things started to get strange. Dave tweeted he had checked into hospital with shortness of breath.

The Chive followed Dave's condition closely through blog posts his sister Nichole Rose was writing. On Thursday, Nichole announced Dave had slipped into a coma and later that he passed away. His final words from his blog post went viral and were picked up by numerous outlets.

Richard Henriksen was swinging around a high bar at the edge of a 1,200-metre high cliff when it broke

Felix Baumgartner wasn't the only daredevil in action the past few days and while his stunt had its hiccups, it went remarkably smoother than Richard Henriksen's base jump.

The Norwegian veteran jumper, who is a surgeon and father of five, was swinging around a makeshift high bar at the edge of 1,200-metre high cliff when the gym equipment collapsed. He was preparing to swing off the bar and deploy his parachute. But he was thrown from the mountaintop earlier than he thought and just narrowly missed smacking into the side of the cliff.

The whole thing was caught on camera by Norwegian TV network NRK. Are Sende Osen, the host for the network, said when it happened the crowd let out a collective gasp, according to Orange News.

CNN reported, "one witness said everyone was certain he'd been killed."

When daredevil Felix Baumgartner stood on the edge of his capsule 39 kilometres above the Earth Sunday preparing to jump the millions watching paused in awe.

And then Twitter lit up as people couldn't help but share their amazement with the space jump.

The 43-year-old Austrian hit Mach 1.24, or 1,342 km/h to set numerous records including becoming the first person to reach supersonic speed without travelling in a jet or spacecraft.

It was such a big deal, some people just couldn't help but make a LEGO re-enactment of the jump. At only 1:44 in length, the stop-motion video is much shorter than the jump and LEGO Felix seems to fall incredibly quickly, but it's quite impressive. Especially considering they producers manage to have cameras all over the place to film the jump from multiple angles just like the real jump.

People playing with LEGO and working at Legolands have been known to have some fun. An Ottawa man created and sold the LEGO Stephen Harper he created. People have created

And you thought your monthly cell phone bill was expensive.

Solenne San Jose, a resident of Pessac, France, recently received a phone bill for €11,721,000,000,000,000 (approximately $14.8 quadrillion CAD). Supposedly, that was the amount she was being charged to close her account with Bouygues Telecom.

"There were so many zeros I couldn't even work out how much it was," said San Jose in a Herald Sun story.

A former teaching assistant, San Jose sought to close her account with the phone company after losing her job a month earlier.

When San Jose called the company to resolve the problem, she became increasingly concerned when she was told that they couldn't amend the computer-generated statement and that the amount was going to be withdrawn from her bank account.

ABC News reports that the company offered to cut her some slack: they would set up a payment plan, so she could pay off the outrageous sum in installments.

Watch Austrian daredevil Felix Baumgartner skydive from 38 kilometres (24 miles) above Roswell, New Mexico.

As the Red Bull Stratos project began, Baumgartner was lifted in a capsule attached to a giant helium balloon on Sunday, Oct. 14.

In a specially made suit, he is attempting the highest parachute jump in history, hoping to become the first skydiver to break the sound barrier.

"The near absence of air at this high altitude means he should break the speed of sound as he falls - a velocity in excess of 690mph (1,110km/h)," according to the BBC.

The 43-year-old has been training for five years to make this jump.

Baumgartner's ascent is expected to take up to three hours. His descent, however, will only last for about 10 minutes — half of it will be in freefall, without a parachute. According to the CBC, he "is expected to break the sound barrier in the first 30 seconds after leaving the capsule."

David Hoogland wasn't being rowdy, he was just having a beer with his fiancé when he was asked to leave

There are a lot of reasons people may get kicked out of a bar, but a haircut usually isn't one.

Even though the mullet fashion style may be mostly dead, David Hoogland has been sporting his for almost a decade and that's just the thing that got him the boot.

While you may think Hoogland's back of his head failed to subdue the front and he couldn't help but party, that's not what happened.

He had only been in Print Hall's rooftop bar in Perth for about half an hour having a drink with his fiancé and other friends when an employee asked him to leave.

"I'm not in a gang, I don't have tattoos all over me, I'm just an everyday person," he said to The West Australian. "I agree if you're being rowdy, out of control, drunk or abusive then you should be kicked out but if you're just sitting down having a chat and a quiet

From a dog showing an amazing display of heroism to a British family learning they are Mitt Romney's relatives, we've seen some great videos this week. Here are some of our favourites:

1. Superdog saves dogs stuck in canoe

While we hear stories often about dogs running back into burning houses or waking up their owners to save their lives, dogs aren't just man's best friend. They are also incredibly loyal to other animals. During the Japan earthquake and tsunami a dog stayed by a seriously wounded dog. And in California in April, a black Labrador braved oncoming traffic to stay beside a dying golden retriever. The retriever was lying in the middle of a busy street, but the black Lab, named Grace, was making sure no other car hit it.

Now something similar has happened, but with a much better outcome. A dog sensed two dogs stuck in a canoe were in trouble as they slowly drifted down a river. The dog jumped in the water, swam out to the canoe, grabbed a bowline and dragged the
