The young man you see in part on these images–history and facts

The young man you see in part on these images.



A 20-year-old Irish man wanted to return to Europe from São Paulo.


But border officials found him strangely nervous.


They took him to a nearby hospital where he was thoroughly examined.


He had somehow managed to swallow 72 packages of cocaine-nearly a kilo in total-with a street value of up to 150,000 euros.


In Brazil, that should give him 15 years in prison.


And before that, he has to bring the stuff back into the world naturally.


Do people who do coke really imagine where the coke has been and "passed" before?

The Death Of Tightrope Walker Karl Wallenda (video).

Image
The Death Of Tightrope Walker Karl Wallenda (video) . Karl Wallenda's final — and tragic — tightrope walk was caught on video in San Juan, Puerto Rico. He had been performing stunts since he was six years old. He was trained to walk on a high wire, cycle across a tightrope, and balance as one of a seven-man pyramid. Rarely was a safety net used. For him, it seemed, nothing was impossible. Then, on March 22, 1978, the world watched in horror as Karl Wallenda fell to his death. As he attempted to walk across a high wire strung between the two towers of the Condado Plaza Hotel, the 73-year-old Wallenda lost his balance, teetering on the wire for 30 heart-stopping seconds before plummeting 10 stories.

The capture of brave Russian officer Rosinski

Image
The capture of brave Russian officer Rosinski This is a shocking image and I apologize in advance for sharing it, but here’s one that truly got to me… in Belarus, 1918, after WWI had already ended, the brave Russian officer Rosinski was captured by the Bolsheviks. The Bolsheviks tortured the captain, likely to get information out of the man, which he bravely refused to give. After that, they simply continued with the torture out of some sick sense of innate cruelty. He was ‘the enemy’ and he was at their mercy, so they brutally murdered their captive. The brave captain was emasculated. And anally impaled on a tree branch. All this while still alive. Alfred Savoir, the man who published the picture and was an eye witness to the death of the brave military officer, described "M. B.", who ordered this atrocity, thus: I knew him not long ago; he was a charming teenager with an ironic wit and joker. He was rubbed with French culture, he admired the novels of Barres and he ...

“The experience I learned was that … if you leave decision to the public, you can be killed…

Marina Abramovic. Rhythm 0. 1974  “The experience I learned was that … if you leave decision to the public, you can be killed… I felt really violated: they cut my clothes, stuck rose thorns in my stomach, one person aimed the gun at my head, and another took it away.  It created an aggressive atmosphere. After exactly 6 hours, as planned, I stood up and started walking toward the public. Everyone ran away, escaping an actual confrontation.” -Marina Abramovic       The life threatening performance of Rhythm 0 featured Marina Abramovic, completely vulnerable to the will of her audience for six hours.  The participators were given an array (seventy-two) of items to utilize and do with as they please without any repercussions, such objects ranged from a polaroid camera to a gun and a single bullet.  Displaying the horrendous actions people were willing to inflict upon another just because they have been given the permission her constant focus on pushing th...

Image
Rudolf Hoess, the commandant of the Auschwitz concentration camp, is hanged next to the crematorium at the camp, 1947 Rudolf Hoess (Rudolf Höss) was the architect and commandant of the largest killing center ever created, the death camp Auschwitz, whose name has come to symbolize humanity’s ultimate descent into evil. On 1 May 1940, Hoess was appointed commandant of a prison camp in western Poland. The camp was built around an old Austro-Hungarian (and later Polish) army barracks near the town of Oswiecim; its German name was Auschwitz.  Hoess commanded the camp for three and a half years, during which he expanded the original facility into a sprawling complex known as Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp. After visiting Treblinka’s extermination camp to study its methods of human extermination, Hoess, beginning on 3 September 1941, tested and perfected the techniques of mass killing that made Auschwitz the most efficiently murderous instrument of the Final Solution. He improved o...

The terror of the execution wheel

Image
The terror of the execution wheel The  breaking wheel  or  execution wheel , also known as the  Wheel of Catherine  or simply the  Wheel , was a torture method used for public execution primarily in Europe from antiquity through the Middle Ages into the early modern period by breaking the bones of a criminal or bludgeoning them to death. The practice was abolished in Bavaria in 1813 and in the Electorate of Hesse in 1836: the last known execution by the "Wheel" took place in Prussia in 1841. In the Holy Roman Empire it was a "mirror punishment" for highwaymen and street thieves, and was set out in the  Sachsenspiegel  for murder, and arson that resulted in fatalities. Those convicted as murderers, rapists, traitors and or robbers to be executed by the wheel, sometimes termed to be "wheel...

Skull wearing a medieval chainmail from a mass grave on the Island of Gotland, Sweden.

Skull wearing a medieval chainmail from a mass grave on the Island of Gotland, Sweden. The Battle of Visby (1361) was a violent Medieval battle that took place near the town of Visby (Island of Gotland), fought between the inhabitants of Gotland and the Danes, with the latter emerging victorious. The battle left a lasting archaeological legacy; masses of slaughtered soldiers and citizens lay scattered across what was once a blood battlefield.  Slashed and broken bones, skeletons still in their chainmail and armor, and smashed skulls, some still with spears and knives protruding out of them. @world history and facts Photo author unknown.

On this day 2nd March 1945, Burma.

Image
On this day 2nd March 1945, Burma. Corporal Fazal Din was attacked by sword wielding Japanese soldiers after taking an enemy bunker and was run through the chest by one of them. Din led an attack on a number of entrenched enemy positions. The Japanese had repelled an earlier assault, killing many of his friends.  To provide support, a tank went ahead of them, but it continued moving forward, leaving the bunkers, Din attacked the one nearest him; destroying it with grenades.  The other two lay silent because they were empty. He wheeled toward the last bunker as bullets mowed more men down, but not Din. Then the shooting stopped; the Japanese had run out of ammo. Furious, eight soldiers burst out of the bunker, wielding swords. The two in front were officers, screaming as they made a beeline toward the Indians. A Bren light machine gun killed one of the officers and a soldier but in doing so he, too, ran out of bullets. He was immediately killed by the second Japanese officer’s ...

Bluetooth technology was named after a Viking king by the name of Harald Bluetooth who died over 1,000 years ago–world history and facts He unified factions of Denmark with those in Norway much like how technology we use today unifies different electronic devices. The Bluetooth logo consists of his initials, (Hagall) (ᚼ) and (Bjarkan) (ᛒ). As for how he got his nickname in the first place   The name "Bluetooth" was proposed in 1997 by Jim Kardach of Intel, one of the founders of the Bluetooth SIG.  The name was inspired by a conversation with Sven Mattisson who related Scandinavian history through tales from Frans G. Bengtsson's The Long Ships, a historical novel about Vikings and the 10th-century Danish king Harald Bluetooth.  Upon discovering a picture of the runestone of Harald Bluetooth in the book A History of the Vikings by Gwyn Jones, Jim proposed Bluetooth as the codename for the short-range wireless program which is now called Bluetooth.

Evil Experiment Carried Out In History Of World War Ll–world History And Facts. In the early to mid 1940s, during World War II and the Holocaust, the Nazi’s experimented on thousands of men, women and children. Their major target populations included Romani, Sinti, ethnic Poles, Soviet POWs, disabled Germans, and Jews from across Europe. At Auschwitz and other camps, under the direction of Eduard Wirths, selected inmates were subjected to various hazardous experiments that were designed to help German military personnel in combat situations, develop new weapons, aid in the recovery of military personnel who had been injured, and to advance the Nazi racial ideology. Experiments on twins Experiments on twin children in concentration camps were created to show the similarities and differences in the genetics of twins, as well as to see if the human body can be unnaturally manipulated.  The central leader of the experiments was Josef Mengele, who from 1943 to 1944 performed experiments...
