RARE HISTORICAL VIDS

Dramatic footage shows rescuers CATCHING semi-naked woman as she jumps from window of burning building The woman escaped serious injury even though a sheet held in the street below by horrified neighbours to break her fall ripped on impact This is the dramatic moment a woman dressed only in her underwear jumped from the third floor of a burning building. Miraculously, she survived, even though a sheet held in the street below by horrified neighbours ripped on impact. The unbelievable escape happened in the town of Cedeira in Galicia, Spain at 10am on Saturday The woman panicked when fire broke out in an electrical panel by the front door of the block of flats and smoke began to fill the building. The woman, 47, had previously tried to escape out of the door but was forced back in by the smoke. That is when closed the doors and climbed out of the window.

A STUPID tourist has been filmed leaping 148ft into a river after stripping off on a bridge. PORTO: WOMAN STRIPS NAKED BEFORE JUMPING OFF 148FT BRIDGE The shocking incident was filmed by several onlookers at the metal arch bridge in the Portuguese city of Porto. In the clip, the topless brunette is seen taking off her jeans and throwing them to a baying crowd below. She then stumbles on the edge of the bridge completely naked but eventually regains her balance. Without another minute's hesitation, the woman leaps off head-first and crashes into the water below. Another clip from the scene shows her arriving at the riverbank safe and sound. But the woman was lucky. Hitting water at 150ft – five times higher than an Olympic board – has the same feeling as hitting concrete from a height. Last year, a teenager who was pushed off a 60ft bridge by her friend suffered five broken ribs, a punctured lung and an air bubble in her chest. SHOCKING: A

On May 1, 1999, an American mountaineer named Conrad Anker noticed a large, flat rock while climbing the northern slopes of Mount Everest But when Anker moved closer to get a better look, he realized that the "rock" was actually the exposed back of George Mallory — a British explorer who had famously vanished on the mountain about 75 years earlier and may have been the first to reach its summit. Time had degraded most of Mallory's clothing, but the icy conditions of Everest had preserved much of his body, which helped experts piece together his final moments. Since Mallory had a broken right leg and arm, and an ice axe had been discovered above him, it appeared that he had likely died after he took a bad fall while climbing. And tragically, his death probably did not come quickly. Before perishing, Mallory had apparently crossed his good leg over his broken leg to ease the pain as he realized the idea of being rescued was hopeless

Karzai Caught Between Foreign Donors, Afghan Voters On Death Penalty A public execution in Afghanistan during the 1990s (file photo) Afghan President Hamid Karzai has signed nine execution orders that have been carried out at Afghan prisons during the past week. UN human rights officials say they are concerned about the executions because of the shortcomings of the judicial system. But a growing number of Afghans -- weary of lawlessness and increased violent crime in their country -- are demanding the execution of convicted murderers, rapists, or kidnappers. In fact, many tell RFE/RL they want the government to execute criminals in public -- something that hasn't occurred in the country since the rule of the Taliban regime. For most of the world, secretly filmed public executions at Afghan sports stadiums rank alongside the destruction of the Bamiyan Buddhas as one of the enduring negative images of the Taliban regime.

Executed man is named as Tajmir, son of Ghulam Sarwar, from Anjil district Last month Taliban supreme leader ordered judges to fully enforce aspects of Islamic law, including executions and floggings Since then they have carried out several public floggings An Afghan man convicted of murder was executed in public Wednesday, the Taliban said, the first confirmation of such a sentence since the hardline Islamists returned to power. Last month Taliban supreme leader Hibatullah Akhundzada ordered judges to fully enforce aspects of Islamic law that include public executions, stonings and floggings, and the amputation of limbs from thieves. They have carried out several public floggings since then, but Wednesday's execution in Farah - capital of the western province of the same name - is the first the Taliban have acknowledged. 'The supreme court was instructed to implement this order of qisas in a public gathering of compatriots,' Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said i

Crocodile bites off woman's arm in 'death roll. Part of victim's arm was found in the 7-foot reptile's stomach during dissection A woman walking her dogs in Australia had her arm bitten off by a crocodile in a "death roll". The victim, aged in her 60s, had been at Three Mile Creek in Wyndham, about 280 miles south-west of Darwin, when the predator attacked on Wednesday afternoon. The woman, missing her arm just above the elbow, reportedly needed to be convinced to get into a vehicle which had stopped to help as she did not want to get blood in the car. After being taken to Wyndham Hospital she was then flown to the Royal Darwin Hospital where she underwent surgery. She is understood to be in a stable condition. Resident Paul Cavanagh said his nephew and son-in-law picked the injured woman up and took her to hospital after seeing she was missing her arm just above her elbow. "She was standing on the side of the road just shocke

Execution of Kim Jong-un's uncle raises fears of instability in North Korea Experts say purge of Jang Song-thaek may suggest powerful groups are jockeying for power in secretive state North Korea's brutal purge and execution of Kim Jong-un's uncle has raised fears of instability in a state with a nuclear weapons programme and a willingness to ratchet up regional tensions. Jang Song-thaek was accused of everything from plotting a coup to instigating disastrous currency reforms and dishing out pornography in a report issued by the official news agency KCNA early on Friday morning. It denounced him as "worse than a dog" and "despicable human scum". The Rodong Sinmun newspaper showed him handcuffed and held by uniformed guards in the courtroom of the special military tribunal that found him guilty of treason. Experts were divided on whether his violent end indicated that Kim was consolidating his power ruthlessly – or that powerful groups within the elit

A 14-year-old boy has died and four others were hospitalized after this man attacked them with a Samurai-style blade in London earlier today. Police were called to reports of a car crashing into a house and people being stabbed in Hainault at about 07:00 BST. The boy was taken to hospital where he later died. Four other people, including two police officers, were injured before the suspect - who had been leaping over people's garden fences - was cornered and Tasered in a front garden. The 36-year-old man was arrested and the Metropolitan Police said he was in hospital being treated for injuries sustained when the vehicle he was in crashed into the house. His condition meant he had not yet been interviewed, police added. Assistant Commissioner Louisa Rolfe said their investigations had not discovered any previous contact between the man and the police.

Local residents say the woman was targeted because of her brother's long-forgotten secret affair with a woman from the assailants' family. The incident, which came to light on Thursday when the media got wind of it, took place last week near the remote town of Chaudhwan, some 80km (50 miles) west of Dera Ismail Khan city in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. Police have arrested eight men and are searching for a ninth. Witnesses say the girl was attacked in broad daylight when she went to fetch water from a pond. "I and my [female] cousins were returning after filling our pitchers when the
