Jose Luis Ochoa died from a wound inflicted by a rooster during an illegal cockfight in Tulare County, Calif., USA, on Jan. 30, 2011! $1 million in $100 bills weighs about 20 pounds- so to fill a 50 foot long boxcar to its 160,000 pound weight limit would require $8 billion dollars in cash! Built to challenge the land speed record, the Bloodhound SSC is powered by a Formula-1 racing engine, a jet fighter's turbine engine and a 12 foot long rocket!
