On November 24, 2009, John Edward Jones tragically lost his life in the Nutty Putty cave following a harrowing 28-hour ordeal.   While exploring with his brother Josh, Jones accidentally entered a constricted tunnel, mistaking it for another tight passage known as the "Birth Canal."    He became lodged upside-down in a 10 by 18 inches (25 by 46 cm) opening approximately 400 feet (120 m) from the cave's entrance.   Jones was trapped in a position resembling a hook, where any movement could cause severe injury due to the unnatural angles of his body.   A large team of rescuers responded, employing an advanced rope-and-pulley system in their efforts to save him. However, the operation faced a setback when a pulley malfunctioned during the extraction process.   Jones eventually suffered cardiac arrest, a consequence of the prolonged stress on his body from being in an inverted and compressed position.   The rescuers, realizing the high risk invol

Some traveled to conflict zones to join “terrorist organizations,” the statement said. The ministry did not say how the executions were carried out. The me

The devastating story behind the "Easter eggs for Hitler" photograph, 1945 Two black American soldiers with special artillery ammo for Hitler.

Thomas and Private First Class Joseph Jackson of the 333rd Field Artillery Battalion, but at the time of the photograph were part of the 969th Artillery Battalion. Scrawling such messages on artillery shells in World War II was one way in which artillery soldiers could humorously express their dislike of the enemy. The 333rd Field Artillery Battalion suffered tremendous casualties in the early stages of the Battle of the Bulge in late 1944, being overrun on December 17. The survivors ended up in the 969th Artillery Battalion for the rest of the battle, where they provided vital fire support for the 101st Airborne Division during the siege of Bastogne. The sad part of course is that

A woman from the southern Chinese city of Guangzhou shouts before being taken to be executed / Reuters.  A rare glimpse into China's busy death row A series of 8-year-old photographs is currently making the rounds on the internet in China. CBS News correspondent Celia Hatton reports that, despite their age, the death row images are shedding new light on a country that executes far more people than any other country in the world. The photos shocked many across China: Women in their final 12 hours on death row.

China is thought to sentence more people to death than any other country, but the real number of people actually executed every year is considered a state

First black to execute using portable electric chair. The saddest story from-history Willie Mae Bragg Was sentenced to death for murdering a pharmacist in 1939. On the day of his execution, he was strapped in, and as the current went through him - he went unkilled. His final cries were for the strap to be removed. After surviving, he then filed a lawsuit claiming he was safe from execution as they had already executed him and that he simply hadn’t died. It was an ominous case. Most of the executions in 1940’s Mississippi (one of the most racist states in the US) were of black people. His appeal failed and he was executed the following year by a portable Electric Chair that had been put into use They typically don’t serve “the last meal” on the day of the execution as people can rarely eat. They have also begun putting spending limits on last meal requests, $30-$50, as many death row inmates have ordered King’s feasts, only for them not to eat a single bite

Mummification of the deceased is a well-known practice from ancient times. Most notably, the Egyptians utilized a mummification process that led to today’s cliché image of a deceased body covered in gauzy wrappings. The discovery of mummified remains in several caves in the Philippines represents a different type of mummy – the fire mummy. Found in caves in the town of Kabayan, in the Benguet province of the Philippines, the fire Kabayan cave mummies are human remains that were preserved through a lengthy dehydration and smoking process. These well- preserved remains have given researchers insight into a unique mummification process, and into the tribal people who engaged in those methods. The Intricate Mummification Process: From Salty Beverages to Tobacco Smoke The Kabayan mummies are also known as the Ibaloi mummies, Benguet mummies, or Fire mummies. They were located in many caves in the area, including Timbak, Bangao, Tenongchol, Naapay, and Opdas. Smoking is not a
