As war takes a toll on the lives of millions of Syrian civilians, a group of volunteers are risking their own lives to save others.

The White Helmets, a group of unarmed rescue workers, have saved more than 56,000 lives in Syria, according to the group's Twitter page. For the group's feats of relentless heroism, it has been nominated for the 2016 Nobel Peace Prize .

The team's motto "to save a life is to save all of humanity," is something that stands at the core of the team, as does the "impartiality" principle. Three years since its formation, 132 volunteers have been killed saving lives.

"We go to save as many people as we can. If one person was alive that's enough for us to take the risk," said Khaled Farah, a volunteer at White Helmet.

133 organizations have pledged their support for The White Helmets nomination including The Syrian Nonviolent Movement and The Asfari Foundation.

Stand in solidarity with these heroes!

Amel Association, a Lebanese non-profit, non-sectarian organization supporting underprivileged populations in Lebanon, has also been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.

The Nobel Peace Prize will be announced on Oct. 7.

Dubai may actually become the first place in the world where Elon Musk's crazy Hyperloop idea is built on a large scale and put to commercial use.

"It’s got the infrastructure, regulatory movement and kind of capital in place needed to build it already," Rob Lloyd, CEO of Hyperloop One, a startup developing Musk's open-source technology, told Tech Crunch .

The insanely fast transportation system, which could transport people or goods between Dubai and Abu Dhabi in 15 minutes, would be constructed at Dubai's Jebel Ali port. Hyperloop One will be conducting an economic and feasibility study with DP World, which operates the port and is the planet's third largest supply chain and terminals operator.

DP World believes that a Hyperloop could contribute greatly to its shipping operations, according to Tech Crunch. However, the company is waiting to see how the feasibility study will pan out before planning to move forward with construction.

Although this could be the first Hyperloop built for commercial use, Hyperloop One has already begun testing the technology in the United States. The company has also done similar feasibility studies in several other locations around the world.

Essentially the Hyperloop train will shoot capsules at high speeds through a nearly complete vacuum inside a large-scale tube. When implemented, the technology could drastically decrease required transport time, allowing cities to become more like metro stops than distant destinations.

Currently, several different competitors are vying to develop the technology that Musk published a 57-page alpha white paper on in 2014.
