Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg sold shares to pay tax bill

FACEBOOK chief executive Mark Zuckerberg reaped a gain of nearly $US2.3 billion ($A2.24 billion) last year when he exercised 60 million stock options just before the online social networking leader's initial public offering.The windfall detailed in regulatory documents filed on Friday saddled Zuckerberg, 28, with a massive tax bill.

He raised the money to pay it by selling 30.2 million Facebook Inc shares for $US38 apiece, or $US1.1 billion, in the IPO.

Facebook's stock hasn't closed above $US38 since the IPO was completed last May.

The shares gained 71 US cents on Friday to close at $26.85.

The 29 per cent decline from Facebook's IPO price has cost Zuckerberg nearly $US7 billion on paper, based on the 609.5 million shares of company stock that he owned as of March 31, according to the regulatory filing.

His current stake is still worth $US16.4 billion.

Unidentified alien spacecraft, a quirk of digital photography or a case of extra-terrestrial fraud?

These are some of the hundreds of "UFOs" that a biochemist-turned-school teacher says he captured on his $600 digital camera from the veranda of his Darlington home in the Perth Hills..

..It comes after The Sunday Times last week revealed more than 400 West Australians had sought advice or counselling through the Australian Close Encounter Resource Network after claiming to see UFOs or meeting extra-terrestrials...

Video footage emerges of 747 crash in Afghanistan

Video footage has emerged purportedly showing a civilian cargo plane crash in Afghanistan which killed all seven crew members on board.

Rescue teams rushed to the scene after the 747 crashed inside the boundaries of Bagram airfield, a US-run base which is a key transport hub for US-led military operations in Afghanistan.

The footage shows the plane in a steep climb before it suddenly plummets back down to the ground.

The flight out of Bagram, located 50 kilometres north of Kabul, had been operated by the US-based National Air Cargo company.

National Air Cargo have told the ABC it believes the footage of the crash is authentic.

"At approximately 7am EST, National Flight NCR102 from Bagram to Dubai, UAE with seven crewmembers on board, crashed on take-off," National Air Cargo said earlier in a statement on its website.

"National will release additional information as it becomes available, in cooperation with government authorities."

It added that the cause of the crash remains unknown.

RIP to all who perished.

My nephew is a Qantas captain and he told me tonight the plane had 5 armoured vehicles on board, the load in all probability shifted and while taking off they have full power , nose up, the pilots, not knowing the load had shifted, (head phones on and full power) probably lifted the nose to get more altitude but that only stalled the plane, if they'd known the load had shifted they would have eased up on the power and levelled out.

He says pilots must ALWAYS check these things personally before take-off.
