The plane, i believe its a training plane for something like a terrorist attack or even just emergency. So the military and emergency services can practice their responce.
There is one of these at an air force base in my part of the world.

Looks like some sort of emergency and anti terrorist training, cut off wings and only two engines are probably to make it easier to store. Might also be the reason why they took the tail or perhaps it was used on another airplane?

The Stockholm Metro station, Solna Centrum, is not built inside a natural cave. The station were blasted into the primary rocks, then liquid concrete were flushed to the walls. This technique were new and quite popular during the 70's.

There is actually quite a number of subway stations like that in Stockholm city. I havent really encountered the similar use of the natural rock covered in concrete in the subway design anywhere else than here at home actually. Though none of them are natural caves, but tunneled/blasted. Most of them feature some sort of painting on the "cave" walls. Though there is "Kungsträdgården"(featured here before i think) that is totally crazy in its decoration, really cool. Its a pity its on a line i rarely ride :(. If i was intereseted in photography and did own a decent camera maybe i would have tried submitting some pics of the different stations.
I am quite sure the cool approach in our subway layout is not intentional though but just something considered to be a practical way of doing it at the time.

The funny thing about the tram:
There are sensors in seats and they count how much people is siting in two halfs of tram.

About the Solar Furnace, the first one in the Modern Age was set operating in Lisbon, Portugal, in that distant year of 1904. The inventor was a jesuit priest, Father Manuel Gomes Himalaya and the demonstration was in the presence of the King of Portugal. The invention, called «Pyrheliophero» (literally «solar fire furnace») was later presented in the United States, at the Universal Exibition of St. Louis in 1904. There, it received the Grand Prix.
The enourmous machine was capable of fusing steel and stone at a staggering 3500ºC.
After the Exibition, it was destroyed in a misterious warehouse fire, still in St. Louis.
Returning to Portugal, Father Himalaya received support from the King, but short afterwards - in 1908 - the King and his Heir were assassinated and everithing went down the drain with the following (1910) republican revolution.

The artistic Periodic Table...
While it’s a fun idea and some of the artwork is very good, it really does show the difference between (the bulk of) artists and scientists.
Take, for example, the text that goes with caesium.
[caesium]…can be produced solely by nuclear reactions.
Not true, it’s a naturally occuring element, though there’s noticeable amounts of radioactive caesium in the environment that /has/ come from man made nuclear sources.
[caesium]…is strong enough to etch glass, flesh and bone.
No, its hydroxide is.
…it is one of the most biologically hazardous components of radioactive waste and nuclear fallout,
No, it’s not as readily absorbed as many other radiopollutants.
Really, I despair of the standard of scientific education that leads to someone being unable to glean even basic information about something without reading some sentences out of context and getting the wrong end of the stick.

Lavoisier used a solar furnace in the 1770s to burn a diamond so he could prove it was made of carbon.
Read more

Quite right, Skipweasle. But I mentioned the priest's furnace because it was the first to produce temperatures in excess of 3000ºC, which are similar, although far superior to those produced by the modern contraption depicted in the movie.
Lavoisier's furnace was unable to produce temperatures higher than 1800ºC - which is remarkable in 1770 - and was a relatively small furnace, compared to the gigantic Pyrheliophoro, capable of melting a huge block of basalt.

Regarding the picture of the bent propeller ...
It is an actual photo. Most cameras with a slit shutter or a two curtain shutter as in SLR cameras will show this effect.
The exposure of the photo begins at the top and the shutter moves down in the shape of a small horizontal slit whose width is dependent on the exposure time. The propeller turns during this time. Therefore the propeller will look bent, because the blades will move and change position during the exposure of each fractional part of the whole image.

Great info on solar furnace, and this "bent propeller" bit was unexpected... Thank you.

Solar furnaces have been around long before the 1930s - in the 1770s
Lavoisier used one to burn a diamond to prove it was made of carbon.

They have taste idiot, it just doesn't match yours. Just because someone likes different things than you do doesn't mean you are right and they are wrong.
Using the term "jap" indicates that you have no class. Me thinks your opinion of yourself is a little too high.

The first of the "KRAN" photos is of the cathedral in the polish city of Szczecin. Its characteristic circled cross is visible near the bottom of the photo.
The "yawning priest" is from LIFE magazines' back page photo section, from sometime in the 50's.
