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 involved, decided against attempting to recover his body. An agreement was reached between the landowner and Jones's family to seal the cave permanently, turning it into a memorial for Jones.  

To secure the area, explosives were used to collapse the ceiling near where Jones was located, and the entrance was filled with concrete, ensuring no further access.

The  Zong  Massacre occurred on Nov. 29, 1781.  The  Zong,  a slave ship, was headed towards Jamaica when the captain gave the order to throw 54 enslaved Africans overboard In November 1781, the British crew of the slave ship Zong threw dozens of enslaved Africans overboard to preserve supplies after the ship became stranded in a low-wind area The crew drowned over 50 women and children on the first day, and then jettisoned about 70 more people, who, still chained, quickly sank into the sea. Though one African captive who spoke English begged the crew to let them live, promising that he and the others could live without food or water until the ship reached Jamaica, the crew continued to mercilessly throw captives overboard. In all, 133 Africans were killed during the massacre, and while most were forcibly thrown into the water by the ship's crew, some ultimately jumped and took their own lives. Another 78 were drowned over the ...

Video footage In 2017, Reza Aslan visited a cannibalistic Hindu group as part of a TV show. The group gave him human brain to eat, covered his face with cremated remains, and made him wear headgear decorated with human teeth.  One of the members of the group even threatened to cut off his head.  Aslan later posted on social media saying: “Want to know what a dead guy’s brain tastes like? Charcoal. It was burnt to a crisp!” The Aghori sect, which Aslan visited, is a fringe group within Hinduism. They are known for their extreme rituals, which include residing in cremation grounds, meditating naked, and even consuming human flesh as part of their spiritual practices. The Aghori are often feared and misunderstood, even within India, due to their unconventional and shocking practices. The episode featuring the Aghori was part of Aslan's CNN series, "Believers," which aimed to explore the world's most fascinating faith-based groups. However, the ep...

  German women were r*ped by all armies at the end of the second world war. From the archive, 17 June 1955: Two years after the end of the war Berlin still smelled of death. Each street contained dozens of ruins and every ruin, especially after rain had fallen and there was still a dampness in the air, retained the same sickly smell. It may have been, as some Germans honestly believed, corpses buried beneath them, or it may have been the state of the drains. It may simply have been the projection of a short but stormy past into the greyness of that particularly uninviting present. Here are some images containing Graphic content visual material that is considered disturbing, offensive, or inappropriate. images from Execution of torturers and violence.

An unauthorized photo of Stalin: the moment he was informed that the Germans were about to take Kiev, 1941

 An unauthorized photo of Stalin: the moment he was informed that the Germans were about to take Kiev, 1941 An unauthorized photo of Stalin inside of the Kremlin shows the very moment he was informed that the German armies had advanced in Kyiv (August 1941). What you see here is a man who up until a few weeks before had absolute confidence in Plan A, and who now has no Plan B. The picture was taken by Komsomolskaya Pravda’s editor-in-chief. The photographer secretly defied orders to destroy it as it was deemed not to show Stalin in a positive light. Operation Barbarossa, the German attack on the Soviet Union, was the greatest military operation of World War II. It deployed thousands of aircraft, tanks, artillery guns, and more than six million soldiers. Furthermore, it brought two of probably the most totalitarian regimes in history against one another. However, in the first few weeks of the operation, it didn’t look like the clash of two giants. The German a...

Mohamed Abukar Ibrahim, 48, was stoned to death by militants from the Hizb Al-Islam group in Afgoye, district Somalia, in 2009

Mohamed Abukar Ibrahim, 48, was stoned to death by militants from the Hizb Al-Islam group in Afgoye, district Somalia, in 2009 Stoning is a form of execution by torture where the individual who throws the deadly stone cannot be identified. In some countries, those sentenced to stoning, or “lapidation” as it is also called, are buried in a hole and covered with soil (men up to their waists; women to a line above their breasts), according to Article 102 of the Islamic Penal Code. A selected group then executes the alleged adulterers using rocks and sticks. Those able to escape the hole during stoning can be freed, according to Islamic law, a feat that is much more difficult for women than for men because so much more of their body is covered during lapidation. Stoning is considered a form of community justice and has its fair share of critics both among human rights groups and Islamic clerics. In Somalia, a 48-year old man was buried up to his waist and stoned...
