Did you know that when Tyrannosaurus rex was a hatchling it was most likely covered in fluffy feathers? Go behind the scenes of the new exhibition T. rex: The Ultimate Predator, which opens March 11 at the American Museum of Natural History, with paleontologist Mark Norell and the model makers to find out how they create the stunningly detailed, life-sized models of the iconic dinosaur as a baby, juvenile, and menacing adult. Warning: you may never think of T. rex the same way again.

See the T. rex: The Ultimate Predator exhibit at the American Museum of Natural History from March 11th, 2019 through August 9th, 2020.

On November 1st, 1918, the worst train crash in U.S. history happened right here in New York City, tragically killing at least 93 people and injuring hundreds. Known as the Malbone Street Wreck, the crash occurred in Flatbush, Brooklyn on the Brighton Beach Line when an untrained motorman took a 6-mph s-curve at approximately 30 mph, resulting in derailment and several passenger cars slamming against a concrete barrier. Learn more about the incident in this fascinating video from the New York Post.

It was a tragedy so horrific that the name of the street was changed so New Yorkers would not be reminded of it. And, indeed, a quick survey of commuters at the Prospect Park subway station, including the booth agent and a train conductor, finds that none of them had heard of the Malbone Street wreck.

Econn Customs has designed sneakers for some of pop culture's most recognizable influencers -- from 2 Chainz to Justin Timberlake. Yet this hot brand has humble origins: All of Econn Customs' pieces are made by 20-year-old Eric Conner in the spare room of his parents' Brooklyn home. Conner has no formal training in crafting footwear, but like many popular artists of the time, his success is the by-product of today's robust remix culture. Instead of creating sneakers from scratch, he spruces up classic shoes, like Nikes, with pieces of fabric from streetwear darlings, like Supreme and Louis Vuitton.
