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.

Not Only Were Timothy Treadwell And His Girlfriend Amie Eaten Alive By A Bear, But By A Very Old Bear With “Broken Canine Teeth, And Others Worn Down To The Gums”
Wrong. Autopsy showed Tim died by having his skull crushed by the bears jaws. As in, bear bites your head and squeezes until your brains come out. Not exactly “gummed” to death.
Load More Replies...(from wikipedia:) Tom Smith, a research ecologist with the Alaska Science Center of the U.S. Geological Service declared that Treadwell "...was breaking every park rule that there was, in terms of distance to the bears, harassing wildlife, and interfering with natural processes. Right off the bat, his personal mission was at odds with the park service. He had been warned repeatedly."
"Almost from the start, the National Park Service (NPS) expressed their worries about his behavior. The park's restrictions made him increasingly irate. According to the file kept on Treadwell by the NPS, rangers reported he had at least six violations from 1994 to 2003. Included among these violations were guiding tourists without a license, camping in the same area longer than the NPS's seven-day limit, improper food storage, wildlife harassment, and conflicts with visitors and their guides. Treadwell also frustrated authorities by refusing to install an electric fence around his camp and refusing to carry bear spray to use as a deterrent"
Load More Replies...I always thought that death by gummy bear would be slightly different to this.
Jaw strength definitely makes up for broken teeth. That bear had no trouble eating them alive. They made poor choices, and no one can hand fight a giant grizzly, regardless of its tooth condition; the only issue this really causes, is the bear being excessively desperate for an easy meal. It's still capable of eating you, just more aggressive and persistent.
Load More Replies...I am morbidly curious about the tape recorded during their deaths. I’m glad it will never be released to the public because I’m 100% sure I’d regret listening.
I've heard part of it - when he's yelling at his girlfriend to run and she's screaming at him to fight back. Terrifying.
Load More Replies...There is a documentary about this chap and his Mrs. It's called Grizzly man and it was directed/produced by Werner Herzog.
I saw Grizzly Man in the theater. Herzog kept talking about the "final tape" - mercifully did not share it.
Load More Replies...I feel bad for her because he convinced her to stay, regardless of her own instincts telling her they shouldn't .
Load More Replies...This dude was a f*cking moron of the highest caliber. He parked his tent right on a high-traffic bear path, during the season when there's high competition for food to fatten up for hibernation (i.e., lots of very aggressive bears), and did so illegally (the park was closed but he snuck in anyway). I feel bad for his girlfriend but this guy got exactly what he deserved when he bypassed all of the safety measures and advice put in place to protect him.
There's never released audio of this attack. Apparently, a camera had been turned on, but the lens cap wasn't removed, so there's audio of the whole thing. People who have heard it described what it's like, but it's never been released publicly, and there are some fakes out there.
Yeah the coroner listened to it and the man doing the documentary..he told the ex-girlfriend to never ever listen to it and to destroy it.
Load More Replies...Poor bear must have been starving to end up doing something like that.
Welcome to Kodiak, my beautiful home. Now f*ck off and leave our bears alone.
Because of law and weapons, humans forgot they ate more prey than predator and that the weakest should stay low instead of bragging in front of much stronger. We lost our basic instincts for the worse.
I watched the documentary and after listening to him constantly baby-talking the bears, I didn't regret the ending as much as I may have otherwise.
What should make people think.....us humans ain't sh*t without a gun! Very Old Bear With “Broken Canine Teeth, And Others Worn Down To The Gums.....human is easiest target!
Is this the case where the couple were eating on camera and you can hear them the entire time
Just goes to show that humans are absolutely no match for bears, no matter how old or injured. Stay away from them!
Think the claws and strength would have done the trick. He was a very foolish person who was delusional.
i watched a documentary on this called "grizzly man" directed by werner herzhog. it is truly artful and a good watch. he led such an interesting life
The point of reporting the bear’s condition I’m guessing also being that only a grizzly that could not hunt its usual prey would go after these two people. In addition to the fact that even a grizzly bear in that condition could still unfortunately kill these two people (who were doing risky things with wild animals).
She acted so courageously, and can be heard in the tapes hitting the bear with a pan as she was trying to save Timothy.
The pilot who was supposed to come get them, hadn't arrived yet. The guy was dragged off, then she started screaming, real high pitched making it sound like a wounded animal which attracted the bear back to her;

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.
