Unsettling Images by Nobody: 6:28am On Jan 12, 2015


Omayra Sánchez Garzón (August 28, 1972 – November 16, 1985) was a Colombian girl killed in Armero, department of Tolima, by the 1985 eruption of the Nevado del Ruiz volcano when she was 13 years old. Volcanic debris mixed with ice to form massive lahars (volcanically induced mudslides, landslides, and debris flows) that rushed into the river valleys below the mountain, killing nearly 25,000 people and destroying Armero and 13 other villages.

After a lahar demolished her home, Sánchez became pinned beneath the debris of her house, where she remained trapped in water for three days. Her plight was documented as she descended from calmness into agony. Her courage and dignity touched journalists and relief workers, who put great efforts into comforting her. After 55 hours of struggling, she died, likely as a result of either gangrene or hypothermia. Her death highlighted the failure of officials to respond promptly to the threat of the volcano, contrasted with the efforts of volunteer rescue workers to reach and treat trapped victims, despite a dearth of supplies and equipment.

Sánchez became internationally famous through a photograph of her taken by the photojournalist Frank Fournier shortly before she died. When published worldwide it generated considerable controversy; it was later designated the World Press Photo of the Year for 1985. Sánchez has remained a lasting figure in popular culture, remembered through music, literature, and commemorative articles.

The remains of a girl who became intoxicated and got lost in the catacombs below Odessa in Ukraine during a New Year's party from wandering down there in a drunken state, the catacombs span 2,500 kilometers. (1,550 miles). Her body was found in 2005 by Urban Explorers who then reported their finding to the police, but they refused, and eventually took her out two years later.



Can you imagine it? Walking alone in utter darkness, just your hand on the wall. Your mouth dry from dehydration, your throat and lungs burning from the rank air and the countless hours of screaming for help. Your feet blistered messes and your legs sore to the point of exhaustion. Just walking. Nothing around you but solid darkness and cold damp walls in every direction. You’d have so much time to reflect on your life, everyone you’ve known, every event replaying over in your head. Somewhere along the line it hits you: “You aren’t getting out.” I wonder if she broke down and stopped moving on, giving in to despair or dehydration, sobbing to herself as she slumped to the cold hard ground. Nothing to comfort her, nothing to give hope. Or perhaps she kept going until she physically could not, driven by either the hallucinations that gave her false promise of salvation, or by the sheer will to live, keeping her going until she finally collapsed from exhaustion and dehydration. I also wonder if the rats started to eat her before she was completely dead.

14-year-old Regina Kay Walters was taken by serial killer Robert Ben Rhoades, who toured the country in an 18-wheeler equipped with a torture chamber in the back. This photo was taken in an abandoned Illinois barn, where Rhoades killed Walters after cutting off her hair and making her wear a black dress and heels.

This is a picture from the Victorian era of two parents with their dead daughter in the middle. Apparently, in the nineteenth century, people taking photos of their deceased loved ones was a thing.

Notice how sharp the image of the daughter is compared to the parents.

It was impossible for the living to hold perfectly still long enough for the shutter to cycle.

A group of friends minutes before and seconds after a car bomb explosion in Beirut, Lenbanon. The bomb was in the gold car in the background of the first image, and was meant to have targeted a politician.

This attack killed 9 people.

The crew of Apollo 1 'praying' in a parody of their official crew portrait. They were expressing their lack of confidence in the safety of the Block 1 Apollo capsule. They were later killed in a fire during a ground test caused by design flaws in the capsule

On May Day, just after leaving her fiancé, 23-year-old Evelyn McHale wrote a note. ‘He is much better off without me … I wouldn’t make a good wife for anybody,’ . She went to the observation platform of the Empire State Building. Then she jumped. In her desperate determination she leaped clear of the setbacks and hit a United Nations limousine parked at the curb. Across the street photography student Robert Wiles heard an explosive crash. Just four minutes after Evelyn McHale’s death Wiles got this picture of death’s violence and its composure. The serenity of McHale’s body amidst the crumpled wreckage it caused is astounding.

Meet Broly, a member of the notorious Mexican drug cartel known as the Knight's Templar. Nothing unique about Broly other than he is an openly gay gangster who likes to post selfies of himself on facebook as well as gruesome pictures of his victims.

Broly is no more as he was captured and summarily executed. This is the last pic of him before he was killed. Ironically, the guys that got him demanded he update his facebook page with this pic.
