Cliff Burton's place of death
Cliff Burton was the bass player in the band Metallica from 1982 to 1986.
During the European leg of the Damage Inc. tour in support of Master of Puppets, the band complained that the sleeping cubicles on their tour bus were unsatisfactory and uncomfortable. To decide who received pick of the bunks, Kirk Hammett and Burton drew cards.
On the evening of September 26, 1986, Burton won the game with an Ace of Spades, thereby getting the first choice of bunk and pointed at Hammett and exclaimed "I want your bunk!" Hammett replied "Fine, take my bunk, I'll sleep up front, it's probably better up there anyway". Burton was sleeping shortly before 7 am on September 27 when, according to the driver, the bus skidded off the road (the E4, 2 miles north of Ljungby), and flipped onto the grass in Ljungby Municipality, near Dörarp in rural southern Sweden.
Burton was thrown through the window of the bus, which fell on top of him. They tried to save him and managed to lift the bus up a little, but before they could retrieve him, the weight of the bus became too much and the bus slipped off the crane and landed on the ground again.

Villa Villekulla (Pippi Longstocking's House)
Mike1989 (VirtualGlobetrotting)
By: Mike1989.
Villa Villekulla is a fictional house that is the home of Pippi Longstocking, a character in a series of books. Pippi lives in Villa Villekulla along with her horse and her monkey, Mr. Nilsson. Outside the house stands a tree that grows sockerdricka, a soft drink sold in Sweden.
The house used during the TV series and some films with Inger Nilsson in the lead role was located in the town of Vibble on the island of Gotland in Sweden. Until the 1970s the house stood in a garden south of Visby, but it was re-located to Kneippbyn and Kneippbyns Summerland about three kilometres away from where it stood during filming of Pippi Longstocking, where it remains standing to this day. The garden where the filming of Pippi Longstocking took place and where Villa Villekulla stood can still be seen. Today there is a Scots Pine growing where Villa Villekulla once stood.

Kymlinge ghost station
alfjon (VirtualGlobetrotting)
By: alfjon.
Kymlinge station was never opened.
Kymlinge is Stockholm's "ghost station." It was built along with the rest of line 11 to Akalla in the early 1970s, when there were serious plans to develop the area around the station with either a mix of housing and offices, or with a very large number of offices, mostly federal agency offices. These plans never came to fruition because the municipality of Sundbyberg, where Kymlinge station is located, wanted to keep the area as green space. So there you have this station, between Hallonbergen and Kista, with its platform lying half in tunnel and half in the open, more than half ready for service -- but trains might never stop there.
Legends about this station have developed in Stockholm. They were connected with the legends about the subway cars of type C5, of which only eight were delivered; the C5 cars were silver, unlike the rest of the fleet, which is green and blue. (The new C20 cars are also partly silver on the outside, but the C5s were entirely silver.) The C5 was said to be a ghost train that took on passengers who were never seen again, and who later got off at Kymlinge. "Bara de döda stiger av i Kymlinge," it was said -- only the dead get off at Kymlinge....

The Troll, Vist
Giant Vista, according to legend, a giant who created Visingsö when he would climb over the lake. He then took a large mound and threw it into the water to climb on, and a tuft now listed as Visingsö. Since 1969 there is a statue, made of Calle Örnemark, depicting giant Vist with his tuft, situated on the eastern shore near Huskvarna. It can be seen when one passes on E4. Tuvan was for his wife who did not have as great strides in Vista. She yelled from the other side he would take a tuft of grass and toss in the water so that she could take over.

Henrik Edward Larsson MBE [IPA: 'hɛnrɪk 'lɑːʂɔn] (born September 20, 1971 in Helsingborg, Skåne) is a Swedish footballer. Larsson is best known for helping win four titles in seven years for Scottish club Celtic. He subsequently had a two-year spell at Barcelona of Spain, where he won two titles and the Champions League. In the summer of 2006 he retired from international football and returned to his home town club of Helsingborgs IF. He later joined Manchester United on a brief loan spell between January and March 2007.
He is the top scorer of all time in the UEFA Cup and one of the top ten scorers of all time in all UEFA club competitions.
In the 1990s, Larsson was famous for his unique high-flying, blonde dreadlocks. However, in 2000 not long after recovering from a career-threatening leg injury, Larsson had his head completely shaven. He has not let his hair grow back since. In spite of this time out of the game, Larsson amassed 93 caps for Sweden, scoring 36 goals. He has now retired from international football.

HMS Carlskrona is the second largest vessel in the Swedish Navy (after HMS Belos, the submarine rescue vessel). She is a minelayer but is mainly used for exercise expeditions.
HMS Carlskrona, is to be mothballed due to a lack of officers. A decision on whether to refit, sell or scrap the minelayer will be made later in the autumn 2007.
(Oct 07) A decision has been made on HMS Carlskrona's future, and she will now replace HMS Orion as RSwN's intelligence collector (AGI). Her conversion is to start next year and she will be recommissioned later in 2008 or 2009. HMS Carlskrona's home port will continue to be Karlskrona.
Carlskrona returned from her most recent long voyage in 2005. Since then, she has been kept in port most of the time. A maintenance crew of eight people has kept her in working order.
HMS Carlskrona was refitted in 2002 at a cost of 225 million Swedish crowns. The refit left the ship fit for active service until at least 2018-20.

Ytterby Gruva (Ytterby Mine)
AlbinoFlea (VirtualGlobetrotting)
By: AlbinoFlea.
From jchemed.chem.wisc.edu:
The Ytterby Mine in Sweden, the derivation of the names of four of the rare earth elements (yttrium, ytterbium, terbium,
and erbium), is famous for its mineralogical treasures.
The minerals for which the Ytterby Mine became famous are gadolinite, (Y,RE)₂FeBeSi₂O₁₀ (RE = rare earth element), and yttrotantalite, YTaO₄.
The Ytterby Mine was a source of feldspar and quartz for the porcelain trade in Great Britain and Poland. The mine opened
in the 1750s and was closed in 1933.
Also from www.vanderkrogt.net:
Ytterby, a village in Sweden on the island of Resarö, close to Vaxholm (east of Stockholm) is a deposit of many unusual minerals, containing rare earth and other elements. At the Vaxholm Fästnings Museum (in the Vaxholm citadel) there is a minute exhibition about the Ytterby mine, known for Ytterbium, Yttrium, Terbium, Holmium, Scandium, Gadolinium and Lanthanum. In 1989 the mine was voted the "Historical Landmark of the year" by the American Society of Metals, which annually awards a place, building etc. having a historical significance within the metal or metalworking industry. A plaque from the ASM can be found at the entrance to the mine.
Quartz was quarried in this mine in the 1500's for ironworks in north Uppland. The quarrying of feldspar for the porcelain and glass industry started at the end of the 1700's and continued until 1933, when the mine was shut down.
The name Ytterby is composed from ytter = outer, and by = village, and means 'outer village', probably since it is located on the outermost point of the island of Resarö.

Oskars Surströmming factory
Oskars Surströmming is Swedens most famous factory for this special product. Other factories make them too.
Surströmming (Swedish "soured (Baltic) herring") is a northern Swedish dish consisting of fermented Baltic herring. Surströmming is sold in cans, which may bulge after prolonged storage, due to the continued fermentation.
When opened, the contents release a strong and sometimes overwhelming odor, which explains why the dish is often eaten outdoors.
A Japanese study has shown that the smell of a newly opened can of surströmming is the most putrid smell of food in the world, beating similar fermented fish dishes such as the Korean Hongeohoe or Japanese Kusaya.

Swedish Hawker Hunter J34 & de Havilland J28A Vampire
The Hawker Hunter was a British jet fighter aircraft of the 1950s and 1960s. The Hunter served for many years with the Royal Air Force and was widely exported, serving with 19 air forces. A total of 1,972 Hunters were produced by Hawker Siddeley and under licence.
In the early 1950s, the Swedish Air Force saw the need for an interceptor that could reach enemy bombers at a higher altitude than the J 29 that formed the backbone of the fighter force. A contract for 120 Hawker Hunters was therefore signed in 1954 and the first one were delivered in August 1955. The model was designated J 34 and was assigned to the F 8 and F 18 wings that defended Stockholm. The J 34 was armed with four 30 mm cannons and two Sidewinders. The Swedish Air Force's aerobatic team Acro Hunters used five J 34s during the late 1950s. The J 34s were gradually replaced by supersonic J 35 Draken and re-assigned to less prominent air wings, F 9 in Gothenburg and F 10 in Ängelholm, during the 1960s. The last ones were retired in 1969.
A project to improve the performance of the J 34 by installing a Swedish-designed afterburner proved successful in 1958. However, the cost turned out to be prohibitive so the project was shelved without implementation.
The British de Havilland DH.100 Vampire was the second jet-engined aircraft commissioned by the Royal Air Force during the Second World War (the first being the Gloster Meteor), although it did not see combat in that conflict. The Vampire served with front-line RAF squadrons until 1955. It also served with numerous other air forces worldwide (see Operators). Almost 4,400 Vampires were built, a quarter of them under licence.
The Swedish Air Force purchased its first batch of 70 FB 1 Vampires in 1946, looking for a jet to replace the P-51D Mustangs and the outdated J 22s of its fighter force. The aircraft was designated J 28A and was assigned to the F 13 air wing at Norrköping. It provided such good service that it was selected as the backbone of the fighter force. A total of 310 of the more modern FB 50, designated J 28B, were purchased in 1949. The last one was delivered in 1952, after which all piston-engined fighters were decommissioned. In addition, a total of 57 two-seater DH 115 Vampire called J 28C were used for training.
The Swedish Vampire fighters were retired in 1956 and replaced with J 29 (SAAB Tunnan) and J 34 (Hawker Hunter). The trainers remained in service well into the 1960s. The last Vampire was retired in 1968. (All Vampire warbirds being flown in Sweden today originate from the Swiss Air Force.)

Big Swede monster truck
Swedens first ever real monster truck built in 1989.
No standing as a referece point at the builder/owners private business.
Big Swede is a monster truck built by Arne Linding in Söderhamn 1989th It was the first "real" monster truck in Sweden. He read in a newspaper that the Americans were the only ones who could build monster trucks. But no. Arne built with the help of some friends that recognized building known as Big Swede. Big Swede has 66 inch tires. The engine is a Ford V8 with a displacement of 460 cubic inches. The body is an extension of the Volvo Duett, which are motifs painted in yellow and blue Swedish flag colors.
The body is flippbar. Thus, it is controlled by hydraulics and gives good show potential, then you can "wave" with the body, by raising and lowering it. Big Swede, the 4WD control. Front and rear axles are controlled separately. This allows a so-called "crabwalk" This means that you turn back and front axles in the same direction, then the car goes straight ahead in a crooked position. Big Swede has floating ability. A few years ago, launched Arne Big Swede at the Sound and headed to Denmark directly into the water without using the Oresund Bridge. It is alleged that Arne Met a couple of moose swimming in the water.
When Big Swede was relatively new, it was used in shows and other things. Now is the most symbolic of Arne's company, LVR AB. It stands for Lindings Wetland Restorations.
Arne has also built Sweden's first real track-powered monster truck. It came to life 1991st It is called Little Big Swede. The frame is from an old crawler tractor. The frame is small, and therefore had the body that would be used, shortened by a door length. body is an old Ford Prefect, also painted the same blue-yellow color. Little Big Swede driven by a V8 with straight pipes. The body is flippbar just like Bigswede. It was used many years ago in the same way as Big Swede. At shows and the like. Now, it represents a benchmark in The Builder's empty.

Ingmar Bergman Estate
http://www.christiesgreatestates.com/properties/view_69518
Ernst Ingmar Bergman (pronounced [ˈɪŋmar ˈbærjman] (help·info)) (14 July 1918 – 30 July 2007) was a Swedish director, writer and producer for film, stage and television. He depicted bleakness and despair as well as comedy and hope in his explorations of the human condition. Described by Woody Allen as "probably the greatest film artist, all things considered, since the invention of the motion picture camera", he is recognized as one of the most brilliant and influential filmmakers of modern cinema.[1]
He directed 62 films, most of which he also wrote, and directed over 170 plays. Some of his internationally known favorite actors were Liv Ullmann, Bibi Andersson and Max von Sydow. Most of his films were set in the landscape of his native Sweden, and major themes were often bleak, dealing with death, illness, betrayal and insanity.
Bergman was active for more than 60 years, but his career was seriously threatened in 1976 when he suspended a number of pending productions, closed his studios, and went into self-imposed exile in Germany for eight years following a botched criminal investigation for alleged income tax evasion.

Kalmar Castle
Kalmar Castle, located near the site of Kalmar's medieval harbor, has played a crucial part in Swedish history since its initial construction as a fortified tower in the 12th century. King Magnus Ladulås ordered the construction of a fortress around the tower in the 1280s, and was further expanded in the centuries that followed.
One of the most significant political events took place at Kalmar Castle in 1397, when the Kalmar Union was formed - a union of Denmark, Norway and Sweden, organized by Queen Margaret I of Denmark.
The fortress was improved during the 16th century under the direction of King Gustav Vasa and his sons Eric XIV and John III, who turned the medieval fortress into a castle fit for a renaissance king. Today, it is one of Sweden's best preserved renaissance castles
