The Man Who Flooded A Town For Sex
In 1993, a man named James Scott purposely damaged a levee and caused a massive flood of the Mississippi River only to stall his wife from coming home so that he could party.
His actions flooded 14,000 acres of farmland, destroyed buildings, and closed a bridge. He was convicted of "intentionally causing a catastrophe" and is still in prison serving a life sentence.
He may be innocent of that since it was some odd thing in the trial, as one of the main whitnesses having a major financial interest in having the cause being vandalism and not natural. However, as he has commited several arsons and burglaries he does belong in jail.

What Was It
This happened in April last year. A crocodile photographer & conservationist, Tom Chalmers Hayes, who went to the scene suggested it was a trophy hunter's killing. He posted a message on social media stating that there were "...very clear machete marks...on the body and around the neck area where the head has been removed."
The Vulture And The Little Girl - Pulitzer Prize For Feature Photography Award In 1994
I recall reading something about the photographer having mental health issues after taking this photo. I can't recall the precise context though.
Yes, the photographer ended his life. Not only dur to this experience. There was a article about it https://allthatsinteresting.com/kevin-carter
Load More Replies...In 2011, the child's father revealed the child was actually a boy, Kong Nyong, and had been taken care of by the UN food aid station. Nyong had died in about 2007, of "fevers", according to his family.
I know this picture for a long time. Every time I look at it my heart breaks and I feel I hate this world. :(
What a strange action, to press an upvote button. I hope she is safe.
I remember analysing this photo in geography - the photographer took his own life a couple months after mrom mental health trauma of caused. It's all so sad 😢
And you have the rich buy a $200 000 bottle of wine to enlighten their taste buds. This world is sick beyond repair.
Check out the film "The bang-bang club." This pic and the photographer are featured.
There’s no excuse for hunger in this modern world. I had a dream that all the billionaires suddenly dropped dead.
Please we need to ensure what this picture shows to become a thing of the distant past
This photo captures the severity of the hunger problems in various countries on the African continent. This is the epitome of a photo speaking a thousand words.
I believe there is famine in her country and most are starving. I believe the vulture got her. I could be wrong about this.
Oh, this makes me cry! Shoo off that bird and take that child to the hospital!
It's sad that the photographer, Kevin Carter, was so disturbed about winning the Pulitzer for this photograph. Not that it wouldn't make anyone weep - but he documented the horrors faced by the Sudanese people. People needed to see this. This should never happen. And I hope Kevin Carter R.I.P.
Poor kid in the picture, poor photographer.. and probably poor vulture too, if it's going after a person whose clearly alive that thing must be HUNGRY
That made a movie about the photographer and his colleagues. It's cald "the bang bang club" I think the. Imdb: Released in 2010, "The Bang Bang Club" is based on the real-life "Bang Bang Club" from South Africa, the bold photojournalists who covered the end of apartheid in 1994. The movie shows how the apartheid government essentially encouraged the active hostilities between the Zulus and Mandela's ANC "rebels" in an attempt to maintain power.
Kevin Carter, the photographer, committed suicide. Richey Edwards, singer of the Manic Preachers, wrote a song about Kevin Carter. Edwards later disappeared, presumably committed suicide.
this is sickening. it's awful how much food waste privileged countries produce, while people are starving to death.
Is this the little girl that the photographer went back and adopted, or is that another child?

Load More Replies...this is a pic of a puppy. It didn't kill anyone, didn't get harmed in any way, hasn't gotten sick and is still around with it's owner who takes care of it. It's just a beautiful puppy that you should look at because this list was frankly, traumatizing. Screenshot...79-png.jpg
I don't mind this kind of "creepy but fascinating" content. I DO mind that when I click on an article showing wildlife photography, I'm greeted with pictures of dead animals. Now I just don't click on wildlife photography pictures. I can still see that poor dead owl in my mind. :(
For anyone who needs an eye bleach from all this, please know we rescued six cats from an abandoned house last night, we cleaned and dewormed them, they had a full meal, and are now happily sleeping in their warm new beds.
I was thinking these would be more "spooky" and "creepy" disturbing than "actually tragic" disturbing 😓
Some of these are interesting but I can’t handle this s**t about violence against children. Cancel this s**t.
WE DONT WANT REDDIT COPY PASTES! THESE ARTICLES ARE COOL AND INTERESTING! NO MORE AITA FROM REDDIT ITS BORING
I can't be the only who feels like there has to be some warning in these cause the rabies one is actually traumatising (for me at least it's now in my top 3 fears)
When I clicked on this, I was hoping to feel better about my life and how lucky I am, but now I feel worse and sad
