Las Vegas Motor Speedway
On October 16, 2011, the final race of the 2011 IndyCar season, the IZOD IndyCar World Championship, was held at Las Vegas. However, the race was halted by a horrific crash on lap 11 that involved 15 cars, some of which became airborne, and some of which burst into flames. The crash began when Wade Cunningham made light contact with James Hinchcliffe, but the situation turned into a big pile-up of cars. The crash allowed a red flag to be waved almost instantly, due to the remains of the damaged cars and the amount of debris on the track.
Ico-D
In January 2004 the "Icograda Design Week in Istanbul" was held in Turkey. The Week's programme included "6 Alfabe, Icograda Student Workshop", an IEN Symposium, Regional Meeting, "Building Bridges: Icograda Design Conference", "Design Perspectives Icograda Regional Design Seminar", as well as the launch of the Icograda Design Media Network (IDMN). This was followed by the Icograda Design Week in São Paulo, Brazil, in April of the same year. The Week's programme included "The Language of the City Student Workshop", a Latin American Regional Meeting, "Design in Latin America Regional Design Seminar", and the "Fronteiras! Icograda Design Conference". In August, Icograda and ICSID hosted a Joint Board Meeting and evaluation of the final six bids for the Joint Secretariat in Essen, Germany. Montreal's bid was selected as most ambitious and beneficial, followed by a site visit by representatives of Icograda and ICSID in September to initiate the final negotiations regarding relocation of the two organisations’ Secretariates to Montreal.
