Think twice before u start crying...

Don't believe anything everything u see or hear from the Internet..

Who captured the picture?
And allowed d man got away with the corn.. (the food there looks like corn)

And why would a sane person share this as a food to almost half dead human? Where does the good samaritan thinks this being would get stove or gas to cook this meal?

Think of these things now.. And tell me..

And if it's true(which I know it's not, the kid might be probably begging the man for food) why did the photographer or who ever took that pics not fight for the child? Cos from the pics here.. It's clearly known that a matured photographer might have been d one that took that shot.


I stand to be corrected!!

Most times these war reporters are stopped from interfering, like what happened with carter and th vulture picture. That's why most times dey end up being depressed and suicidal or PTSD

Back then... Many people braced their selves to an unhappy fate that arrived from no where...

So on point
We pray never to find ourselves in such situations

Yeah.. Sometimes... Not always..

There some pictures better left alone in your domain.. Or as a reminder... But posting it online/Internet is the worse of all... Cos that's where u get different opinions about one simple shot.

Internet is the best weapon in this 21st century.. And it's also deadly....if u know what I mean..

What will you say to thus photographer?

I think I once read the photographer that took that pix later committed suicide.

913 people willingly killed themselves by themselves on their own.??
Just by hearing the words of preaching.??
The pastor must be gifted with some good detergents and soap inside his tongue, for him to have washed these people's brains so clean.

There is power in persuasion; power in convincing people

Just wondering how d senator that went there to Investigate died, did he drink d poisonous juice?

The greatest mistake he made was posting this pics on the Internet..
Now he committed suicide... Cos of his hunted conscience


He couldn't do a thing to save the Child.. So why posting it online when u deff knows that u will be bullied emotionally, mentally and otherwise..


He committed suicide right? So what's the point?

Explorers:
Starving Sudanese child is stalked, and eyed hungrily, by a starving vulture.

This contrast of a plump vulture and a starving, emaciated Sudanese girl is striking, alarming and won the photographer, Kevin Carter, a Pulitzer Prize for feature photography.

The girl was on her way to a feeding center, when she collapsed.

When asked about the fate of the girl, Kevin Carter said that she resumed her trek to the center, while he chased away the vulture.

However, he added, that it is unlikely she survived.

I heard the photographer later committed suicide due to depression over that incidence.

Explorers:
The image below shows 13 year old Omayra Sanchez before she died, after being pinned down by house debris after a volcano eruption.


Known as the Armero Tragedy after a volcanic eruption in Colombia on Novermber 13, 1985, nearly 25,000 people lost their lives.

This image shows Omayra Sanchez who was trapped under debris for 55 hours before succumbing to her injuries.

Her courage and dignity during this time has touched the hearts of millions and her legacy lives on.

She was also hallucinating for days before she passed away people tried to pull her away but it was found out that if she was pulled out her body will be divided into two... the first time I saw this image it gave me the creeps..I saw it in a website.....forgotten the website...

k

Can this be treu?

Stupedinluv ...I can't see this alone. There's joy in sharing.

If one were to think to deeply, life would seem senseless and meaningless.
It could be a struggle sometimes trying to understand or make sense of it.
Life could be so unfair.
These pictures are so depressing but I'm certain much worse has happened that weren't captured.
May the creator be merciful.

Damn! I shouldn't have opened this thread

That Jones town ish gave me the creeps during my pry sch days. Religious brain-washing at its peak. They guy just mixed cyanide into water and juice for the young ones and made them drink it. They drank and jejely went to lie down and sleep. They guy knew the authorities were locking down on him. Jeeez! That's why I worry abt that grass-feeding, petrol-drinking pastor down south of this continent.

I think that's where the term "Don't drink the Kool aid " came from

Explorers:
Hisashi Ouchi received a fatal radiation dose with a mortality rate considered to be 100%.

Despite desiring to die, he was kept alive in horrendous pain for 83 days against his will.


Hisashi Ouchi was one of the three workers who was preparing a small batch of fuel by adding aqueous uranyl nitrate solution to the precipitation tank.

The accident occurred when they added a seventh bucket of the solution and the tank reached criticality.

A self-sustaining nuclear fission reaction started and emitted gamma and neutron radiation.

Ouchi, who was the nearest one, received 17 sieverts (Sv) of radiation while the permissible annual dose of radiation is considered to be 50 mSv and the fatal dose as 8 Sv.

He suffered serious burns, severe internal organ damage, and had a near-zero white blood cell count.

The doctors who treated them were under pressure as it was considered a matter of national dignity, and so he was kept alive despite his wishes for 83 days before his heart finally failed.

maybe that's where the word OUCH came from.
But humans are wicked o,83 days in this severe condition?

I know this one, we actually did a study on it in my 200l, the woman in question refused to marry the choice of her mum and bro which led to the lock up, she was given food once a day by the maid, its reported that when the maid could bear it no longer, after several years, she reported to the authorities who broke in and found her a shadow of her former splendid self...

Yeah. I saw the story on the History Channel.

No he didn't, he went on a fact-finding mission, a number of ppl asked to be taken along back to the states, they tried to facilitate their paper sos as to travel, a guy posed as a defectee, followed them to the plan tarmac, booomm!! Massacre....he was joined by others and they shot the Senator guy(Ryan something),some members of the delegate(press inclusive) and some of the defectees who wanted to leave.
The boss had to make them all drink the poison before the authorities got to him. The picture gives me the creeps everytime I remember. Gosh!
Sorry for my long epistle.

Explorers:
Mummified body of German adventurer who vanished was found inside his drifting yacht.



The mummified body of Manfred Fritz Bajorat was discovered in his yacht, most of which was underwater, by two fishermen.

He had spent around 20 years cruising the world before meeting his end.

The exact cause of his death is not known though the doctors believe that he could have died of natural causes.

He was found lying near the radio as if trying to call someone over the radio.

Instead of being decomposed, his body was preserved probably by the dry ocean winds, cold temperatures, and salty air.

@bolded, that should be cold because decomposition rarely occurs in lower temperatures
