While filming the 2004 movie 'The Passion Of Christ', the actor who played Jesus, Jim Caviezel, was struck by lightning during the last shot of the movie. 


Caviezel later stated that the lightning strikes necessitated two heart surgeries, including an open-heart procedure, as well as extensive medication.

He was accidentally whipped twice, which has left a 14-inch scar on his back, and dislocated his shoulder from the weight of the 150lb (68kg) cross when it was dropped on him.

  


During the crucifixion and it actually lit his hair on fire. The scenes of him hanging on the cross in the dead of Italian winter (with temperatures of 25°F/-4°C and 30-knot winds) caused him to contract hypothermia and pneumonia. 


He stated that he went into the film weighing 210lbs (95kg) and was 168lbs (76kg) by the time they finished. He required heart surgery after the movie wrapped.

In 2007, US Navy SEAL Mike Day survived being shot 27 times by al-Qaeda militants in his legs, arms, abdomen, buttocks, and scrotum, and was knocked out by a grenade

In 2007, US Navy SEAL Mike Day survived being shot 27 times by al-Qaeda militants in his legs, arms, abdomen, buttocks, and scrotum, and was knocked out by a grenade.  Mike was part of a 22-member assault team tasked with striking an al-Qaeda cell responsible for shooting down several Marine helicopters. Mike was the first through the door and was immediately met with a hail of bullets by terrorists firing AK-47s, an M-4, and pistols.  Mike was hit and fell into the 10-square-foot room.  Miraculously, Mike awoke to find the remaining enemies firing at his regrouping comrades and remarkably, he not only survived but also managed to eliminate all four militants and later walked away unaided after regaining consciousness. He left the Navy in 2010 after 21 years of service. He went on to represent Wounded Warriors, and spent the rest of his life advocating for veterans. He unfortunately passed away in March 2023. Mike Day had been shot plenty of times ...

Public Execution at Bar- Beach, Lagos (Victoria Island) It was no laughing matter in Lagos when eight Nigerian robbers were executed; but this one made light of the situation as a priest prayed for him seconds before he faced the firing squad.  About 30,000 people watched the Executions, bring the number to 70 people who have been executed since the death penalty for armed robbery was introduced in January last year. Date: 9th September, 1971.  Image Source: IMS Vintage Photos . HORRIFYING VIDEO FOOTAGE

Dead Italian soldier holding a photograph of his child, north Africa, 1940, WWII The North African Campaign in pictures, 1940-1943

Dead Italian soldier holding a photograph of his child, north Africa, 1940, WWII The North African Campaign in pictures, 1940-1943 Fighting in North Africa stemmed from the area’s strategic importance to the Commonwealth. Egypt’s Suez Canal, connecting the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea, was a vital transport artery. Oil in particular had become a critical strategic commodity due to the increased mechanization of modern armies. Britain, which was the first major nation to field a completely mechanized army, was particularly dependent on Middle Eastern oil. The Suez Canal also provided Britain with a valuable link to her overseas dominions–part of a lifeline that ran through the Mediterranean Sea. Thus, the North African campaign and the naval campaign for the Mediterranean were extensions of each other in a very real sense. The struggle for control of North Africa began as early as October 1935, when Italy invaded Ethiopia from its colony Italian Somaliland. That move mad...

  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

Image
 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...
