Earlier this week, the One World Trade Center gained its spire, making it the tallest building in the western hemisphere.

The internet is a big place, and sometimes crazy coincidences manage to occur. Like two Redditors in Denver who both managed to snap a photo of the same lightning bolt at the same time -- and then a third one using those pictures to extrapolate a 3D rendering of the lightning.

World Press Photo announced this morning it has asked two independent experts to "carry out a forensic investigation" of the winning image in its 2012 World Press Photo of the Year contest.

A new 2K, time-lapse video shot in the Ross Sea by marine scientist...
