Thousands of People Live in Abandoned Skyscraper (20 pics)

The Centro Financiero Confinanzas is also known as the David Tower named after its investor David Brillembourg. David Tower stands in downton Caracas, Venezuela and it's the country's third tallest skyscraper. It was half-completed when the construction was halted in 1994 after the Venezuelan banking crisis of 1994. The house was reverted to the government. Now it's occupied by 2,500 squatters. They have built their own ecosystem - sanitations, electricity, retail, recreation centres and building security.

Jail Escape (4 pics)

Two bank robbers are still on the loose after using a makeshift rope to drop 15 stories out of the window of a federal jail in Chicago. The building is in the heart of Chicago's downtown area, a few blocks from a federal court. Still, the men managed to escape without attracting any witnesses.

The 20 Coolest Christmas Trees of 2012

The people of Brussels, the capital of Belgium, may well think that they have the coolest Christmas tree of 2012.  This abstract light installation has somewhat usurped tradition, as a 65ft pine tree from the forests of the Ardennes usually takes pride of place in the city's central square, the Grand Place.  Of course, depending on taste you may hate this seasonal replacement, which many Belgians have dubbed The Pharmacy because of the resemblance it bears to the green cross outside chemists the world over.
