Explorers:


What will you say to thus photographer?

O boy see philanthropist o!

That's cos he asked..
I am still seeking for a well paying job..
But I still run my own bizz... With the little I earn... I share..

Life nor pass like that.

Snow5:


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..

True, but publicising it is actually for a good course. For people to know what's going on, and to possibly cause people to swing into action. I know sometimes the reporters are being selfish, but the publicity could be of greater good

Seriously this guy is a beast in the historian field..

He was actually as pastor o!

A christian pastor that went rogue...lol

People's Temple something something....

They are communist/socialists.
Its like a mixture of the Nazi, USSR, North Korea and Religion...

Pidgin2:


What was his religion and which denomination did Jones belong to

SPDAZZY:


So he couldn't help her to the feeding center. Na award and vulture im dey find. Smh

I learnt that the photographer later committed suicide after a series of criticisms as yours. He must have been severely guilt-stricken.

Now see? The publicity became his terror night.. And eventually led to the cos of his death.. Right?

And after the picture how many of the govt /social helping hands swung into action?

Instead it was used against him...

That's the irony and beauty of the Internet
You have to thread softly and know what to post at the right time...

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.

menh, i really bow to those guys, even in the Islamic world, i do wonder what will make a full grown up man, wear explosives and blow up children. Those brain washers are really gifted

Babzilla:

He posted it with the belief that it would generate a more strict response from world leaders but it didnt he got a prize instead. I
Thay was why he was disraught

Everything that has advantages has disadvantages to. ie the Internet and it's cons..

The guy got an award... Also his death certificate...


Sad indeed!!

In the library reading, stopped to read naira land post. Jim Jones, it cannot be well with you in death. Chai, can I read, or na thinking now. I went to Wikipedia to read the whole story. Chai, this Scientology cult is the same oh.

fourfunmi:
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.

Pls stop using "they" instead of "the". Tnx

This world is a horrible place.

And what makes me more terrified is the fact that we humans made it to be this way.

I read about this sometime back, they had tried tirelessly to help her. She was stuck, she had to resign to fate and wait till death came. Her eyes didn't even turn black immediately, it happened gradually before she died. This story haunted me for a while, so sad.

I wonder how her parents (if they had the courage to stay) would have felt watching her die. So pathetic

your name is not explorer so i will ignore you

Generica:


The public blasted him for such inhuman act and he was haunted by that scene all his life. He committed suicide not long after.

Benjom:


...because he couldn't help the little boy to safety and the thought of not rendering such assistance haunted him for the remaining days of his life.

DAramis:

I learnt that the man committed suicide later. This may be considering the fact that he is in a better position to help but refuses to.

You guys disgust me! Read.

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.

Instead of finding out what Carter did after the photo, you guys blindly concluded that he took the photo for fame.

Since Carter took that photo to today, more than 3 million Sudanese have died, most of them starving children (some probably eaten by vultures), hundreds of thousand have been raped. The sectarian conflict in Sudan continues to this day.

Carter risked his life and the sanctity of the First World to brace the harsh realities of the Third World. And perhaps gave the world the biggest reveal of the situation in Sudan that spurred International intervention that recently culminated in the breakup of Sudan and creation of South Sudan.

Instead of him to be celebrated, you guys are loathing him, seemingly celebrating his misfortune.

Any normal human who has seen all the things Carter saw will be scarred for life. The highest suicide rate in America is amongst military veterans. Carter saw worse.

We are in this country where more than 250 people were supposedly mistakenly killed in a bomb blast by the Nigerian Airforce and there has been no protest. What have you personally done to lend your voice to say that is unacceptable. 1 billion people go to bed hungry every day on this planet. How much have you donated to feed these people? When last did you remember these people exist?

Carter is a hero. May his soul rest in peace. And may we not lack people who dare show us things we often don't want to see or believe to be real. While people like you do their best to ridicule good and facts.

Tomorrow, you guys would end up in Church praying to a big man in the Sky, asking for a world where there are no deaths, when you guys have done nothing to help the one you're in.

Rubbish!

What I Cant Understand Is The Cruelty We Force On Other People.

SPDAZZY:

the little girl died and the photographer also went into acute depression and committed suicide. He could not remove her image from his head.

Nope.. The pastor was never gifted.
Rather the people were brainwashed and silly.

Who would blame them?
More than that number would die if TB jocrook orders them to do so in 2017.

naturefellow:

Carter has gone to a better place.

The same people who criticized him did nothing for Sudan. Did nothing for the millions who died after he took that photo.

We live in a world where pictures that should elicit deep thought and uproar about the state of the world elicit criticisms for those who dare show them.

Humans are pathetic!

Explorers:
The body of John Torrington.



In the 1840s,John Torrington and a crew of 100 explorers sailed thousands of miles away from civilization in the arctic attempted to find the fabled Northwest Passage that would allow for quicker and safer travel between North America and Asia.

However, during the expedition, Torrington’s ship was damaged, and the crew was forced to abandon and trek back through Canada on foot.

No one made it back.

136 years another crew set sail to recover their bodies, upon opening the graves, the scientists were simply baffled by what they found: three perfectly preserved bodies who stared back at time.

Torrington’s body was buried along the way, perfectly preserved by the frigid temperatures.

This devastating image shows the full extent of the Jonestown Mass Suicide.

November 18th, 1978 was a tragic day for a lot ofpeople in northwestern Guyana.

A religious organization called “Jonestown” was under scrutiny by American press, and for good reason after Peoples Temple leader Jim Jones ordered amass suicide-murder.

A total of 913 people died, including a congressman who flew down to investigate the settlement after pleas from current members and concerned relatives.

Media will not record this as terrorism, But if it happen to involve Muslim the world will hear about it..

The woman in the picture below was locked in a room for 25 years and weighed 55 pounds.


It’s hard to believe the image above is real, but it is of a woman called Blanche Monnuer, who was kept captive in a padlocked room with no light for 25 years.

She was 49 years old at the time and weighed 55 pounds.

The date was 23 May 1901.

Her mother and brother were both thought to be responsible.

I read this story but it was clever of you to have omitted the part that said the order was given by the.. .. .....

The gruesome death of an Iraqi tanker driver, charred to death.

No words could do justice to this photograph.

in 1991, photographer Kenneth Jarecke stood in front of the incinerated remains of an iraqi tanker driver and captured the terrible reality of war.

He hoped it would change the way Americans viewed the Gulf War. Much to his dismay, however, it went unpublished in the United Statesand, instead, became ‘The War Photo No One Would Publish’.

On the contrary, this picture was published in a TIME magazine "Images Of 1991" . I even have a copy. The soldier was part of the Iraqi convoy retreating from Kuwait (after looting it) during the 'Desert Storm' operation of 1991.
