Despite being a dog afraid of thunder, Roselle, the guide dog, calmly carried out her duties amidst the deafening noise and debris on the 78th floor of the North Tower on September 11th 2001.
Guiding her blind owner, Michael Hingson, who sensed jet fuel, Roselle earned trust for not leading into danger. In the midst of smoke, Hingson, unsure if Roselle could hear or see signals, gave the command “Forward.”
Pausing only for dog kisses to reassure a panicked woman, this remarkable canine-human team led a group down over 1,463 steps to safety.

In 1997, in Russia, a poacher shot and wounded a tiger and stole part of its recent k**l. The tiger later found the cabin that the poacher was living in and then waited at least 12 entire hours for the poacher to come home. The tiger then k****d and ate the man upon his return.
There's a book called The Tiger by John Vailiant, if anyone's interested
Also one called The White Tiger which is a good read.

Siberian Tiger, the biggest and meanest of them all.
Load More Replies...Except no. Another group of hunters then tracked the tiger and k****d it, after it attacked them.

In 2013, 5-year-old Jocelyn Rojas was abducted from her front yard by a man in a car who lured her with ice cream.
Fortunately, 15-year-old Temar Boggs and his friend witnessed the incident and decided to take action. They quickly grabbed their bikes and chased after the car.
For 15 minutes, the teenagers pursued the car until the kidnapper realized he had been noticed. He pushed the girl out of the car and fled the scene.
Thanks to the bravery of the two boys, the little girl was rescued. Without their intervention, her fate might have been very different.
Anyone has the name of the second teenager/friend of Temar Boggs?
Most of us are scared of something. It could be the creepy crawlies like spiders, or standing at the edge of a tall building if you’re afraid of heights. Some even fear clowns (thanks, horror movies).
But if there’s one thing that makes any situation instantly scarier, it’s the dark. When the lights go out, your brain suddenly becomes the ultimate storyteller. You can’t see, so you imagine. That’s when the shadows in your room start looking suspicious. Was that your coat hanging on the chair… or something else? The unknown is where fear loves to play.
In 2012, a 24-year-old Kenyan man who worked at an orphanage called Anthony Omari woke up to find 3 machete-wielding thugs breaking in.
He took on all three men at once and chased them outside, where the fight continued. But unfortunately, Anthony would take a machete to the face.
Despite this, he successfully fought the attackers off, ensuring the children's safety, and then collapsed.
Luckily, he survived but needed stitches for the 11-inch gash across his face.
Upon hearing about his struggle, Ben Hardwick, a 21-year-old Penn State student interning at a nearby facility, went to talk to him.
Inspired by the story and deeply worried about Omari and the children's safety, Hardwick shared the man's story on Reddit, seeking $2,000 in donations to help build a larger fence for protection.
Within the first twenty-four hours, he received $65,000 in donations.
Imagine fighting a bada$$ who's got a machete in his face like a crappy Halloween costume and just Keeps Going. I'd peace out, too.
In 2009, Sgt. Dakota Meyer disobeyed a direct order to pull back from his position and instead rescued wounded soldiers from a firefight nearby. He went back five times, personally evacuating 12 wounded soldiers and providing cover for another 24. When asked why he did what he did, he said: “That's what you do for a brother.”
It annoys me so much that very often sportsmen and women are called heroes for winning, or scoring, or tackling. No! This is what the word hero is for!
Paul C, Yes! I think that very frequently, the word Hero is very overused. That man is the true definition of the word.

An Australian man called Don Ritchie, lived the across street from the most famous su***de hotspot in Australia known as "the gap".
He lived there for almost 50 years and during that time he saved at least 160 from ending their lives by striking up a conversation with them and then inviting them into his home for tea.
In 2006, he was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia for his rescues, the official citation being for "service to the community through programs to prevent su**ide".
Ritchie died on 13 May 2012, at the age of 85.
It's beyond encouraging to read about selfless, compassionate human beings. Thank you all. 🥰
To understand fear a little better, we spoke with Andrea Jose, a master of the spooky trade. Andrea runs scare houses at festivals across Germany, so you could say he knows a thing or two about fear. He laughed when we asked if adults still get scared.
“You might think grown-ups are too rational to fall for tricks, but fear doesn’t care how old you are,” he told us. “Everyone has a limit, and when you’re in the right environment, that limit gets pushed fast.” So yes, even the bravest dads covering their kids’ eyes in horror movies scream in haunted houses.
This is Iqbal Masih. As a child, he was was sold into bonded labor for less than $15 and was forced to work 12 hour days, 7 days a week for pennies.
At age 10 he escaped the carpet factory where he worked and then he helped free 3000 children from slavery.
He went on to tour various cities in Pakistan so he could raise awareness about child bonded labor.
He was m*rdered at age 12 for speaking out.
Enslaving kids and then m u r d u r i n g one for getting in your way. I can't think of a better example of pure cold-hearted evil.
Definitively identified? No. However, an organization called the carpet mafia was, & is, believed to have been behind his murder.

In 2014, Chelsi Camp, a 23-year-old mother from Alvin, Texas launched herself at a pitbull that was viciously mauling her 2-year-old daughter, Mackenzie. Chelsi jumped on the dog and bit off its' ear and proceeded to shove her fist down the dog's throat to try to stop the dog from attacking her daughter. Thankfully, Mackenzie survived due to her mother’s heroic actions.
✨Happy they're OK. ✨ What boils my blood is this happened ONLY because some braindead 'person' abused by a dog, training it for 'his' gain. Pitbulls are NOT inherently vicious. I repeat, NOT. They're amazing dogs. SMFH
If someone is bitten by a dog, they don't make the news, but if someone bites a dog, they make the front page.
In 2015, a Florida woman named Cheryl Treadway was held hostage by her boyfriend, but she convinced him to let her order a pizza using the Pizza Hut app. In the space for special request, she wrote' "Please help. Get 911 to me. 911 hostage help!" Police arrived at the location and she was released.
I've seen a few true crime videos where people call 911 and ask for a pizza, luckily the 911 operators figure out what's going on and give them code words to help figure out the situation (if they're armed ask for extra pepperoni etc.)
In a lot of cities Pizza and other take-outs, that use apps are now trained to help.
According to Andrea, the real trick to scaring people isn’t just throwing a monster mask at them. “The anticipation of what might happen next is the scariest part,” he said.
People don’t like unpredictability. The waiting, the tension, the build-up, that’s what makes your palms sweaty and your heart race. Imagine walking down a pitch-black hallway, and you know something is going to happen, but you don’t know when. That creeping unease is more terrifying than the jump scare itself.
Photo taken In 2017 at the wedding of Heather and David Mosher. Heather was battling advanced breast cancer but found the strength to marry the love of her life just 18 hours before passing away. The couple wed at a hospital chapel in Connecticut.
My mum did pastoral care at a hospital and got to know a patient with cancer very well. She asked my mum to perform her wedding, and my mum got certified as a celebrant so she could. About two weeks after the wedding she died.
In 2021, a Russian father, Vyacheslav Matrosov, forced his best friend to dig his own grave and end his own life after he discovered he had been ab*sing his daughter. Vyacheslav was sentenced to 18 months in jail but left after 6 months after a public appeal for his release.
This is one of the rare incidents where I'm like yeah he had it coming.

BRUH, I was trying to GET AWAY from home, not GET home... -_-"
Oh dear, this makes me really laugh out loud. What was his home detention like? A lovely home-cooked meal with candles and all, or the broom?
Creating the right environment is key, Andrea explained. “We try to build realistic and unsettling settings that pull people into a nightmarish world.” That means it’s not just about dark rooms, but about sound, smell, and detail.
Fake blood smeared on the walls, creepy whispers in your ear, even cold air brushing past your neck, these little things convince your brain you’re in danger. The more immersive the environment, the easier it is to trick the mind. Before you know it, you’re convinced something is lurking right behind you… and you don’t even want to turn around.
In 2005, LaVena Lynn Johnson, an E3 Private First Class in the United States Army, was found dead in a tent. Her death was ruled as a su**ide.
However, the autopsy report and photographs unveiled that Johnson had a fractured nose, a black eye, loose teeth, burns from a corrosive chemical on her gen*tals, and a gunshot wound to the mouth that appeared inconsistent with sui**de.
Several reporters have suspected that the chemical burns were the result of attempts to destroy DNA evidence of an a*****t. Additionally, bloody footprints were discovered outside of her living quarters.
Despite her death being officially ruled as a su**ide, her family to believe the United States Department of Defense has covered up foul play.
It certainly wouldn't be the first or last time a woman in the military was viciously SA'd and it was covered up. 🤬
I have been a victim of an Army cover up. I know for a fact they do this all the time. It's sickening.
Andreas Mihavecz is an Austrian man who holds the record of surviving the longest without any food or liquids. He survived 18 days.
On April 1, 1979, the 18-year-old was accidentally placed in a holding cell due to his involvement in a car crash as a passenger.
Unfortunately, he was completely overlooked by the three policemen responsible for him and remained forgotten in custody.
In his basement cell, his cries went unheard. He survived by drinking condensed water from the walls, losing a staggering 24 kg (53 pounds) in weight during his ordeal.
Eighteen days later on 19 April, an officer who had unrelated business in the basement opened his cell after noticing the stench that was emanating from it.
Mihavecz survived, but it took him months to regain his health.
Holy moly! I hope he sued the ever loving life out of that police department.
Later each officer was fined 2000 Euros. Two years later a civil Court awarded him 250,000 Austrian schillings (18,000 Euros).
The level of incompetence on the part of those cops is absolutely criminal.

This photo shows Bonnie Haim with her young son, shortly before she vanished in 1993. At the time, her 3-year-old son claimed that his dad had ended her, but there was no evidence to support his story. 20 years later, while renovating their home, the son dug up his mother's remains in the backyard.
He was gaslit for years, everyone assumed he couldn't possibly be telling the truth because he was only 3 when he witnessed his dad bury his mum. He had to fight for his inheritance (their old family home) because his dad didn't want him to have it. He always planned to dig up the back yard because he knew his mum was buried there. Everyone thought he was crazy but he was right all along.
Dateline NBC did an episode on this - it was a good one! https://www.nbcnews.com/dateline/video/full-episode-she-never-left-82539077769

If I recall, the father had passed away by then, which is why the son, now an adult, got the house. He was renovating and had to dig up part of the yard, which is how he found his mom's body. You can find out more, since I posted the link above.

Load More Replies...And of course, there’s the adrenaline-packed scare moment. “We use sudden shocks, unexpected movements, and loud noises to really push the fight-or-flight button,” Andrea shared. That’s why haunted houses are filled with slamming doors, flickering lights, and actors jumping out at just the right time.
It’s all designed to startle you and get your body to release that rush of adrenaline. Your heart races, your breathing quickens, and you can’t help but laugh or scream. It’s basically your body doing a roller coaster ride without the tracks. Terrifying, but in a weird way… fun.
On June 11, 2021, commercial lobster diver Michael Packàrd was swallowed by a humpback whale near Provincetown, Massachusetts. For over 30 seconds, his crewmates feared for his life, but fortunately, the whale resurfaced after about 40 seconds, spitting out Packàrd. Miraculously, he survived with only bruising and a dislocated knee.
Not swallowed. In the mouth of. Big difference. Baleen whales have no teeth and very narrow throats he couldn't physically be swallowed.
I'm glad you added this. I'm terrified of those videos of humpback whales surface near people/boats. This actually makes me a little less scared. So I'm down from terrified to slightly less than terrified.

In 2019, a teenager was left with her jaw attached by just a centimetre of skin after a horror horse riding accident. Emily Eccles suffered one of the worst facial injuries her doctors had ever seen outside a war zone after an exhaust popping on a car spooked her horse.
The then 15-year-old, smashed her head into a gatepost as she fell off after the horse bolted along a country path, causing her feet to slip out of her stirrups.
She found herself holding what remained of the bottom of her face in her own hands.
Her reconstructive surgeon Ricardo Mohammed-Ali rebuilt her face during a 6-hr operation.
Lady Eowyn, there are no chin guards on horseback riding helmets, just straps to keep the helmet in place. With that kind of breakage I would think her chin came down on the gatepost. So whether she had a helmet on or not would be a moot point.

One lucky survivor, Richard Williams, who spent over 6 hours waist deep in freezing water during rescue was told that he would need both his legs amputated. He refused and went on to win the Wimbledon Men's Doubles in 1920.
He was in a partially submerged lifeboat alongside other survivors.
Load More Replies...Umm, he could have been clinging on for dear life to an inverted lifeboat.
So why on earth do people line up and pay money to be scared? Andrea says it’s actually about facing fears in a safe environment. “Conquering a fear, even if it’s just a fake zombie, makes people feel accomplished,” he explained. It’s like tricking your brain into thinking you survived something terrifying, even if you logically know it wasn’t real. That sense of victory leaves you buzzing. And let’s be honest, bragging rights are a big bonus.
On August 14, 1991, a tragic incident occurred when two Rikers Island corrections officers were sh*t in their car during a robbery at the Kingsborough Housing Project.
Sadly, one of the officers lost their life. The surviving officer, Robert Crosson, reported that the assailants were two young light-skinned black men in their twenties.
NYPD detective Louis N. Scarcella, who was later accused of falsifying evidence, arrested 14-year-old Bunn and 17-year-old Rosean Hargrave based on an anonymous tip, even though neither teen matched the physical descriptions given by Crosson. Surprisingly, Crosson later identified the two as the sh**ters.
In November 1992, a jury convicted both teens of second-degree m****r. John Bunn was paroled in 2006 for good behavior, but still fought to clear his conviction.
In 2013, evidence of extensive misconduct by Detective Scarcella came to light, triggering a number of motions for retrial from defendants previously accused by him of crimes.
In May 2018, the charges against Hargrave and Bunn were dropped. Subsequently, Bunn filed a lawsuit alleging "malicious prosecution, denial of due process, and civil rights conspiracy," leading to a city settlement of $5.9 million in 2020.
The image below shows John showing gratitude to the judge that found him innocent.
This guy did no jail time for faking evidence that resulted in innocent people being held captive for years of their lives - "As of June 2025, at least 21 people have had their convictions vacated in Scarcella's homicide cases, after more than 420 combined years of imprisonment."
Why am I not surprised. I mean, a cop killed a guy while being filmed and got away with that too.

Hey, BP? Are you not recognizing the problem of just censoring the vowels out of words like "ṣhot?" This terrible, tragic story noe reads like a fecal freak nightmare!
And people wonder why African American men and women are afraid of the police.
And that's why a jury trial isn't a good idea. Who talked them into believing that completely different looking people were the ki//ers? Or maybe they weren't interested in asking that question, who knows. Watch "12 Angry Men" and understand that jurors behave like that, if maybe less "theatrical". I had such jurors beside me.
A judge would have done the same. Cops get off scot free all over the world in all sorts of judicial systems.

He hadn't spoken to his father that fateful day, and his body remained unrecovered, leaving his fate shrouded in uncertainty.
Eight years later, in 2009, Gary's sister Christine visited the Tribute Center, where an employee inquired if she was searching for someone specific.
She mentioned her brother Gary, prompting the employee to direct her to a photograph within the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel, mistakenly bearing Gary's name.
However, the pictured firefighter was Brian Bilcher, another brave member of Gary's fire squad who had also perished on that tragic day.
This discovery ignited Gary's father's determination to uncover a similar image of his son.
He tirelessly combed through photo archives at the National 9/11 Museum and explored the memorial's website, which allowed users to upload their 9/11 photos.
After an exhaustive five-hour search one night, he went to bed, drained both physically and emotionally.
The following morning, his wife Helen summoned him to the living room during breakfast, revealing a photo of a firefighter running through the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel toward the Towers amidst trapped cars.
This time, it was Gary.
At least they knew and could and put him to rest in their hearts
Azaria Chamberlain was a nine-week-old baby girl from Australia who tragically lost her life on August 17, 1980, during a family camping trip when a dingo attacked her.
Unfortunately, her body was never recovered. Azaria's parents, Lindy and Michael Chamberlain, informed authorities that a dingo had taken her from their tent. However, their account was met with disbelief.
Lindy was accused of m****r and endured a trial where she was wrongfully convicted, leading to more than three years of imprisonment.
Remarkably, no evidence existed to suggest her involvement in her daughter's disappearance. Michael also faced a period of incarceration.
In 1986, Lindy was finally released from prison after Azaria's jacket was discovered in an area inhabited by numerous dingoes.
Following her release, Lindy received compensation amounting to $1.3 million for her wrongful imprisonment.
People who joke about "the dingo ate my baby" obviously don't know the true story. 😢 A few years ago a dingo grabbed a 1 year old out of a camper on Frasier Island in the middle of the night. The father was able to get him back, but the child was injured in the attack. The dingoes in that area are particularly brazen when it comes to interactions with people.
Im from the States, ive never been to Australia but common sense tells you if you are in the wilderness, youre in their home, accidents happen, its sad but animals are well, wild animals. I always thought that joke was horrendous

Fear also has a social side that most of us don’t think about. “When people go through something scary together, it bonds them,” Andrea said. Think about it, clinging onto your best friend in a haunted house or grabbing your partner’s arm during a horror flick instantly brings you closer. You laugh about it afterward, tease each other about who screamed louder, and walk away with a funny memory. Fear, in its weird little way, makes people connect.
In 2022, Ryker Webb, a 3-year-old boy from Montana, was playing in his front yard when decided to wander off while his dad was inside the house. Upon his father's return a few moments later, Ryker was nowhere to be seen.
Assuming his son would be nearby, his father, having only briefly gone inside, expected a quick search. However, as day turned into night, it became evident that finding him would not be a swift task.
His family was in distress, and what heightened their concern was the fact that their area in Montana was inhabited by numerous mountain lions and bears.
Following his family's report of him missing, Montana's Air National Guard deployed helicopters and drones in an attempt to locate Ryker. However, heavy thunderstorms forced them to cancel air operations, leading to a ground search of the area.
After 48 hours, hope was dwindling rapidly, but to everyone's astonishment, something remarkable occurred.
A couple who lived around 2.5 miles away heard whimpers coming from a shed on their property and found the toddler inside tucked into a lawnmower bag.
Thankfully he wasn’t injured, just cold, hungry and thirsty. He went on to recover from the ordeal.
I'm sorry, but WHY would you EVER leave a 3-year-old unattended outside??!! Especially when they're voicing concerns about large predators?? Parents are idíots
You are just grabbing something and the kid is having fun, so why interrupt just to drag them inside with you. Obviously youve never been a parent.

17-year-old Juliane Koepcke was sucked out of an airplane after it was struck by lightning in 1971. She fell 2 miles to the ground, was strapped to her seat, and survived 10 days in the Amazon Jungle.

I would need years of intensive therapy just to live out the rest of my life halfway normally, after trauma like that. I don’t know if I would ever leave my house—-actually my bed—-for fear of another random tragedy happening around me. I imagine he thought every day he was in their pocket was his last. Imagine the shock of being found. Fear at first, not knowing what or who those people were, or if they were real or a hallucination, then joy of being rescued—-the one thing he probably thought would never happen. Then the PTSD kicking in with a vengeance afterward. I hope he’s okay and doing well now.
There is some remarkable footage of the divers searching the boat and suddenly a hand reaches out and clasps onto one of them. Just amazing.
Quite astonishing story. He was trapped in an air pocket at 30m deep for 60 hours. He had to be rescued in a diving bell and spend 3 days reacclimatising before he could leave. It was estimated an air pocket that size would take about 56 hours for carbon dioxide toxicity to set in, and he would likely have died if he had been down there much longer. He was a chef, now he's a professional diver https://www.newsweek.com/shipwreck-survivor-10-years-later-60-hours-underwater-1772395
At the end of the day, fear is complicated, but that’s what makes it fascinating. “Sometimes it’s hilarious,” Andrea admitted. “People run, fall down, and then laugh at themselves afterward. Other times, the fear lingers longer, and it really shakes them.” But whether it makes you laugh or makes you swear you’ll never go back, fear is an experience you don’t forget.
Mehran Karimi Nasseri was stranded in Paris’ Charles de Gaulle Airport for 18 years due to a stolen passport and essential documents. He lived, studied, slept, and talked with the airport staff from August 26, 1988, to July 2006.
In 2003, Steven Spielberg's DreamWorks production company paid a rumoured US$275,000 to Nasseri for the rights to his story, but ultimately did not use his story in the film The Terminal.

Both Belgium and France offered him residency, which he turned down.
Load More Replies...I mean, HOW does this happen?? How did no one figure out what to do? Never saw the movie, BTW, maybe it explains it.
The movie doesn't. It's not really this man's story. The movie is about a man who lands after his country is taken over by a coup, so on paper his documents are invalid. The airport officials will not approve his documents because his passport is from a country that is not a country at the moment. Spielberg chose this narrative over the real guy who was robbed of his paper and told he couldn't leave until he got replacement papers/passport. At least two countries offered him valid documents, but he refused to accept them. He either liked living in the airport or he was REALLY committed to having his name appear a certain way on government forms. It was so clearly off the wall that I've wondered if he destroyed his own papers to get the documents he dreamed about.
Load More Replies...This should never have happened. He was obviously not a resident, and the fact no one in authority ever took his situation seriously was sheer neglect. 18 years? Ignored by authorities for that period?
Both France and Belgium offered Nasseri residency, but he refused to sign the papers as they listed him as being Iranian (rather than British) and did not show his preferred name, "Sir, Alfred Mehran" (including the misplaced comma). His refusal to sign the documents was much to the frustration of his lawyer, Bourget. When contacted about Nasseri's situation, his family stated that they believed he was living the life he wanted.
Load More Replies...And not one country could offer him asylum. We in the West deserve everything that comes at us.

Heartbreakingly, her fiancé stood waiting at the altar in front of 300 family and friends when he received the devastating news of her passing.
Climate conditions were good at the start of the flight, but during the trip a heavy fog arose which caused the pilot to lose his bearings.
That's so incredibly sad. I can't even imagine how devastated the groom and families must have been.
The eyes of the woman to the right. It must have been right before the incident.

In 1942, Chinese sailor Poon Lim was aboard the SS Benlomond when it was torpedoed by a German U-172, causing the vessel to sink.
Lim found himself alone on a life raft without any means of propulsion, drifting aimlessly at sea.
He sustained himself by fishing, drinking bird blood, and even managed to k**l a shark using only a jug of water.
Miraculously, he survived for 133 days at sea before being rescued.
For those like he who were winding how he killed a shark with a jug of water. "The shark attacked him after he hauled it aboard the raft, so he used a water container to beat it to death." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poon_Lim
Well, I mean how else would he have killed it with a water jug? Drowned it?

In December 1963, while spearfishing along Australia's southern coast, Rodney Fox was suddenly dragged underwater.
In an instant, he endured a punctured diaphragm, torn lung, pierced scapula, and exposed abdomen, ribcage, spleen, and upper stomach. When rescuers finally retrieved him, they had to leave his wetsuit intact to prevent his organs from spilling out.
Following four hours of intricate surgery and the application of 462 stitches, Rodney Fox survived one of the most severe non-fatal Great White Shark attacks in history, living to share his incredible tale.
So 6 hours for the girl with her jaw fracture, but 4 for all his extensive injuries?

In March 1944, 27-year-old Finnish soldier Aimo Koivunen and his ski unit were ambushed by Soviet forces.
As they retreated through the snow, exhaustion set in, and Aimo, wanting to push on, turned to Pervitin—an early form of m*thamphetamine carried by soldiers.
Though the recommended dose was one pill, he took all 30 at once. The effects were immediate: a burst of energy that sent him skiing far ahead of both the Soviets and his own unit.
What followed was a blur. Aimo later awoke alone, having covered 100 kilometers. Over the next days, he skied a total of 400 kilometers back to Finnish lines.
When he arrived, he weighed just 94 pounds, with a heart rate of 200 beats per minute
He skied almost an entire night towards a lighted hut on the horizon, but it turned out to be Polaris...then, he thought he was fighting a wolf-like creature, but in reality he was wrestling with the branch of a tree, and finally he caught a Eurasian jay with his bare hands and instantly ate it raw...🤭 🤷🏽 ⛷️💨 💊

Despite the severe injury, his left eye dislodged and skull fractured, he regained consciousness, treated his wounds with a bandana, and crawled 15 miles to a field hospital.
Only part of the musket ball was removed, and the rest emerged years later. Miller had fought in multiple battles before Chickamauga and shared his story with a newspaper in 1911.
He lived with an unhealed wound until his death in 1917 at age 88, leaving behind a striking photo and an extraordinary tale of survival.
Lots of Civil War veterans lived for years with godawful injury disfigurement and horrible pain, from the meatball field surgeries performed without anaesthesia and without regard to the patient’s quality of life afterward, at the time, for decades after the war. Many became morphine addicts from merely trying to get some relief from the unrelenting pain.

A Taiwanese university student, influenced by a friend's persuasion, agreed to a drastic scheme involving the amputation of his legs to claim a $1.3 million insurance payout. However, the student received a mere $7,200 from the scam, which he is now obligated to return.
To simulate frostbite, a condition necessary to justify the amputation, he subjected his feet to dry ice for an extended period of over 10 hours. This extreme act led to a double amputation.
Medical professionals were skeptical of the injuries, noting the absence of typical frostbite symptoms. The scam unraveled from here.
He tried to escape and go on the run, but could only manage a short hop.

Julie Ward was a 28-year-old publishing assistant and amateur wildlife photographer from Bury St Edmunds in England.
At the beginning of September 1988 she had been in Africa for seven months photographing wildlife and was due to return to England.
She was travelling to the Masai Mara game reserve with an Australian friend, Dr. Glen Burns.
On 5 September 1988 the vehicle they were driving, a Suzuki jeep, broke down; Dr Burns returned to Nairobi while Ward spent the night alone at the Mara Serena lodge.
On 6 September the vehicle was repaired and Ward left to drive to the nearby Sand River camp to recover some camping equipment. This was the last time she was seen alive.
Julie was reported missing and her father John Ward flew to Kenya to find his daughter. He hired a plane to search the areas of the game reserve where his daughter was known to have camped alone.
A pilot sighted the Suzuki Jeep in a gulley next to a river and Mr Ward went to investigate in person. Julie Ward's burned and di**embered body was found in the ashes of a fire by John Ward on 13 September.
The original theory put forth by the Kenyan officials was that Ward had been eaten by lions and struck by lightning; however, they later accepted that she was m*rdered after her father's efforts uncovered further evidence.
The Kenyan coroner's report had been altered to disguise the fact that her bones had been cut by a sharp blade rather than gnawed by animals.
A British pathologist found that Ward had been di**embered with a machete then doused in petrol and set alight.
John Ward, a retired hotelier, spent nearly £2 million on the investigation and made over 100 visits to Kenya.
Ward accused the Kenyan government and former President Daniel arap Moi of trying to cover up his daughter's m*rder to prevent damage to the tourist industry.
In 1992, two park rangers were charged but cleared in court. In 1998 Simon Ole Makallah, chief park ranger at the time, was arrested. He was cleared the following year. John said all three were scapegoats.
John said that he believed that his daughter was k****d by Jonathan Moi, son of then Kenyan president Daniel arap Moi.
He claimed Moi and his drunken pals came across Julie when she stopped to photograph the wildlife near the Serena Lodge.
He said that Moi then raped her as his cronies stopped farm manager Ibrahim Choge stepping in to stop him. Moi’s men were then ordered to dispose of her body, according to John.
Jonathan Moi claimed he was not at the scene and denied any involvement whatsoever.
John Ward died in 2023, and his daughters m*rder still remains unsolved.
Woah... Someone needs to keep going on this. Don't let her father down

Mary Ann Bevan was an English nurse who was born in 1874, in East London. She lived a very normal life up until the age of 32.
At 32 years old, Bevan developed Acromegaly, a medical condition marked by excessive production of growth hormones. This leads to the abnormal enlargement of body parts, including the hands, feet, and facial features.
Just years after developing the condition, her husband Thomas passed away suddenly.
This situation left Bevan with few financial means to support herself and her children.
Consequently, she chose to join a traveling circus, where she performed under the moniker "The Ugliest Woman in the World."
Despite the obstacles she encountered, Bevan showed remarkable commitment to her children and succeeded in accumulating approximately $50,000 by working at ‘f***k shows’ during the early 1900s.
Things are worse now. Someone who looks deformed still has trouble getting gainful employment, but we've done away with the freak shows so we can feel better about ourselves.

She was an attractive lady before the disease. She definitely showed a lot of courage in raising her children!
Elizabeth Hurley could play her! Also, it seems a bit insulting that the "Frēak" community went through so much time and introspection in accepting their descriptor only to have a halfwitted listicle collection like BP censor their chosen title like a "dirty word."

On February 2, 2018, 16-year-old Kevon Watkins faced connectivity issues while attempting to play Xbox games in his family's Georgia home.
In an effort to improve the speed, he decided to change the Wi-Fi password to prevent others from logging on and potentially slowing down the service during his gaming sessions.
Following this, a confrontation between Kevon and his mother unfolded, escalating to a point where his older sister, Alexus, stepped in to prevent Kevon from physically harming their mother.
Tragically, instead of de-escalating the situation, Kevon placed Alexus in a chokehold and refused to release her despite pleas from his younger brother and mother.
By the time the police arrived, the situation had taken a devastating turn. Her brain had been starved from oxygen resulting in extreme damage.
Alexus was quickly rushed to hospital but unfortunately didn’t survive the injury. Kevon was tried and sentenced to life imprisonment for the tragic incident.

On February 2, 2013, "American Sniper" Chris Kyle and his friend Chad Littlefield were tragically sh*t dead at a Texas shooting range by Eddie Ray Routh.
Routh, like Kyle, was an Iraq war veteran suffering from severe Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. His condition was so debilitating that his mother sought help from Kyle before the devastating incident occurred.
Kyle agreed to become the young veteran's mentor, and for their first meeting, decided to take him to a local gun range.
But on the way there, Kyle and Littlefield realized just how troubled Routh was. "This dude is straight up nuts," Kyle texted Littlefield as they drove in silence. "He's right behind me," Littlefield responded. "Watch my six."
Moments after pulling into the range, Routh grabbed two pistols and fired a barrage of bullets into both men, k*****g them instantly.
Routh was found guilty and sentenced to life in prison with no possibility of parole.
In prison, Routh recounted the incident to a cellmate and said: “I was just riding in the back seat of the truck, and nobody would talk to me. They were just taking me to the range, so I sh*t them. I feel bad about it, but they wouldn't talk to me. I'm sure they've forgiven me."
Ah yes, solving gun problems with more guns... the American way!
"This dude is straight up nuts." Let's take him to the local gun range!!!
I'm not generally a fan of victim-blaming, but in this instance, I do feel the need to underscore the series of poor choices that likely directly led to this incident. Don't ever take a complete stranger to a gun range. Ever. You put up with strangers being up at the gun range, because it's not like you can tell them to get out. You don't invite strangers to it. You definitely don't invite them knowing they have PTSD and not knowing how bad that PTSD is. I also feel it was grossly inappropriate for Routh to be sent to a regular prison, rather than a mental health center, but I don't know enough on the specifics to say for certain it was a bad call.

Her backup parachute opened at 700 feet, but it quickly deflated and she continued to plummet towards the ground at 80 miles per hour.
Miraculously, Murray survived the fall thanks to the fact that she landed directly onto a mound of fire ants.

On February 16, 2009, 911 dispatchers in Stamford, Connecticut received a call so shocking it took them several minutes to even understand what was happening.
Sandra Herold frantically screamed into the phone that her friend Charla Nash was being viciously attacked and eaten alive by her pet chimpanzee Travis.
Herold begged the dispatcher to send police immediately and said they needed to bring guns to shoot the mad chimp.
Throughout the entire horrifying call, dispatchers could hear Travis' enraged screams in the background as the attack continued.
Finally, emergency services arrived at Herold's home and found Charla Nash completely covered in bl*od on the ground, her face all but ripped off and her fingers strewn about the ground around her.
Nash required hours of surgery after the attack, and after her jaw was reattached she later flew to Ohio for an experimental facial transplant.
After the cops shot Travis to death, a toxicology report determined the chimpanzee had been given Xan*x on the day of the attack. Sandra had reported this to police, but it's thought the dr*g may have fuelled his aggression.
If you really want to be horrified you can listen to Sandra's 911 recording on YouTube. It's bad, so I don't recommend it if you're sensitive to violence. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgS0KgT5APc
It was a terrible thing to happen and I feel sorry for her, but, well, what do you expect to happen when you have a wild animal as a ''pet'', and also fill it full of d***s?
No the sad part is that it was a friend that was attacked, not the person keeping a wild primate as a doped up baby substitute. So it actually is quite tragic

At 2:24 p.m., she made a disoriented call to 911, reporting that she was being shot at and chased in the woods.
Unfortunately, her phone died during the call, and despite tracing her phone's pings to a rural area in Panola County, law enforcement officers were unable to locate her.
Following her disappearance, extensive ground and aerial searches were conducted by local and state officers.
Thompson's car was found stuck in a ditch along the same road where her phone last pinged.
In July of 2022, a work crew in Panola County discovered remains, which were later confirmed to be Lauren's on December 13th.
0__0 whoa, why have I not heard about this?? That's absolutely terrifying...poor woman..
This picture of 28-year-old WTC Bank of America employee, Marcy Borders, shows her seeking refuge in a nearby office building after the South Tower collapse, which left her covered in dust. She had been working on the 81st floor of the North Tower when the attack commenced and managed to escape with her life.
From exposure to, and inhalation of, that very same dust. Remember, the towers were built in 1969, when things like lead and asbestos were still used in construction.

In August 2002, an extended period of heavy rainfall led to widespread flooding in numerous European countries, including the Czech Republic, Italy, Spain, Austria, Germany, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia, and more. lol
In total, 232 people lost their lives, and over $27B in damages were caused.
Some people use "lol" like it's some kind of weird compulsion. It drives me up the wall.

These are people clinging to what’s left of what I assume is their home, in the middle of raging floodwater, and at the risk of being swept away and drowning any second. Their lives are hanging, quite literally, on a dangerous precipice here, and the author is calling it a “crazy picture” like it’s some kind of prank or joke? F*****g hell people, whatever happened to empathy? Whatever happened to actually looking and really SEEING what is going on here, before making some tone deaf jokey comment about it? We’re all f*****g doomed.
This photo shows SeaWorld trainer Dawn Brancheau posing with Tilikum, a k****r whale already linked to two fatalities at the time. In 2010, during a performance in front of an audience, Tilikum dragged Brancheau into the pool and proceeded to ‘rip Dawn apart’ for 45 minutes.
That's not Tilikum. No one went in the water with him due to his history. They only worked with him from the side of the pool. And don't blame Dawn please. She advocated for better treatment of the whales. Unfortunately the trainers were powerless but afraid to quit and worry the whales would be treated worse.
Sorry but I'm sort of on the Orca's side here. If you captured me, locked me in a small pool (relative to the size of the open ocean), and forced me to perform tricks for tourists and idiots...you better believe I'm taking my revenge at the appropriate moment. Fück anyone who thinks it's ok to take an intelligent and emotionally complex animal and treat them like this.
Orcas are nicknamed "killer whales" because they k**l other whales, not because they k**l humans. This particular whale reacted to captivity and horrid living conditions (no fault of most trainers, who wanted better for them). While imparting interesting facts, orcas are actually dolphins, not whales.
In 2005, Dave Shaw tried to retrieve the body of Deon Dryers from the Bushman’s hole. Unfortunately he died trying.
Boesmansgat, commonly referred to as "Bushman's Hole," is a freshwater cave in the Northern Cape province of South Africa.
It is 282 meters deep. In 2005, Dave tried to retrieve the body of Deon, who had drowned 10 years prior.
While trying to secure Deon, Dave became tangled in the lines from the body bag, and passed out from exhaustion after trying to free himself.
He did manage to release Deon's body though, so when they recovered Dave they brought him up as well. Deon's parents were there when this happened too. 😢
Volcanologist David A. Johnston, 13 hours before his death to the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens. He was the first to report the eruption from an observation post 6 miles away, transmitting "Vancouver! Vancouver!

Photographer Robert Land photographed the eruption then used his last moments to wrap his camera in several layers and protect it with his body; so that the photographs survived to benefit scientific knowledge.

Michael Jackson was 25 years, 4 months, and 29 days old when his hair caught fire. Remarkably, he passed away exactly 25 years, 4 months, and 29 days later, in 2009. This means the accident marked the exact midpoint of his life.
Michael Jackson's hair caught fire on January 27, 1984, during a Pepsi commercial shoot when pyrotechnics malfunctioned.
A friend extinguished the flames, but Jackson suffered second and third-degree burns to his face and scalp, requiring reconstructive surgery.
and they botched the surgery pretty bad, causing him to have a horrible burning pain in his scalp for the rest of his life, which then caused him to get hooked on pain killers
Image from August 4th, 2021, shows Luis Fernando Cevallos and Alexis Rodriguez after being pulled over for reckless driving. This was their first date and, unfortunately, only date. Tragically, just 15 minutes later, the couple collided with a tractor-trailer, resulting in their instant death.

Henry McCabe, a 31-year-old living in Minnesota, vanished under mysterious circumstances on September 7, 2015, after a night out with friends.
In the early hours of the morning, his wife received a chilling voicemail from his phone containing eerie moaning sounds, a voice saying "Stop it," and other unidentifiable noises.
Two months later, his body was found in Rush Lake, six miles from where he was last reportedly dropped off.
The autopsy concluded he likely drowned, with no signs of trauma.
This photograph, taken by Aron Ralston, shows him after discovering a pool of water. Just an hour earlier, he had amputated his own arm, having been trapped in a ravine with his hand pinned by a boulder for over five days.
To amputate his own arm, he first had to break the bones in his wrist and then use a knife to sever through his flesh and tendons.
The searchers he eventually ran into were sent by his family. They simply couldn't narrow the search area because he chose not to tell anyone what his route would be. And he opted not to take anything with him to call for help despite going alone. Yes I've seen the movie. Yes he made a difficult decision. No I don't think he's any type of hero or worthy of admiration. Because he failed the top two rules of any outdoor activity in the wilderness: tell someone your route and take something to call for help.
Not sure I'd be able to do that. It goes against all sense of self-preservation. Then again I wouldn't have gone out without a phone in the first place.
Okay you did not have to say the last bit... Im getting mental images in my head
Grandfather of child actress Renee Shin-Yi Chen breaks down at the child's funeral, 1982. Renee passed away as a result of a devastating accident on the set of the movie "The Twilight Zone: The Movie". She was de**pitated after being hit by the rotor blade of a helicopter while filming an action scene.
The crash decapitated Renee Shin-Yi Chen and actor Vic Morrow, and crushed child actor Myca Dinh Le. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twilight_Zone_accident
I remember when that happened. Supposedly, it was a scene recounting a traumatic (and guilt-inducing, which was the point of it being a Twilight Zone segment) incident from Vic Morrow’s character’s time in Vietnam during the war. He was in the copter with the kids, who were playing Vietnamese kids being rescued by Vic Morrow’s character’s, when it crashed. That segment of the movie wasn’t included in the final theatrical cut, if I’m not mistaken.

Load More Replies...The wreck of the Costa Concordia photographed in 2012. 32 people sadly died after the ship collided with a submerged rock.
It collided with a rock because the Captain decided to illegally change course to show off to a woman. He then abandoned ship like a coward while other crew members tried to save passengers. He was eventually ordered back on board by the Italian coastguard. His name was Francesco Schettino.
Audio recordings of his conversation with the Italian coastguard are particularly damning. He'd abandoned it while passengers were still on board, saving his own skin at their expense. He refused to comply with the coastguard and was one of the first to safely reach land, sentenced to 16 years in jail. He's probably still Italy's most hated person.

Tornadoes are monsters sent from hell to t*****e us. At least it feels like they are. Yes, I know about the science of weather and the types of conditions that start the rotation of tornadoes.
