RHex is made by Boston Dynamics, and is controlled by a remote operator up to 600 feet away. http://www.bostondynamics.com/content/sec.php?section=RHex -via Dark Roasted Blend

The first fuel pump on the Boeing 767 went out. Then all the fuel pumps went out. Then an engine stopped. Then the other engine failed. What to do? The crew consulted Boeing’s emergency manual for advice on an unpowered landing.

This really happened, in Canada in 1983. Find out how the story ended at Damn Interesting. Link
