Photos Just Before Disaster Struck

 Space Challenger disaster

On January 28, 1986 NASA sent the Space Shuttle Challenger into space. Tragically, the shuttle exploded only 73 seconds after take off over the coast of Cape Canaveral, Florida. The crash took the lives of all seven members onboard which included five astronauts and two payload specialists. The world stood still as viewers everywhere witnessed the shocking incident live and on their television sets.

This photograph was one of the many that were taken just moments before takeoff, as the brave team of seven waved goodbye to their adoring fans and got ready to board The Challenger, having no idea what was about to happen to them only minutes later.

Tragic tsunami

Back in December of 2004, the horrific Indian Ocean earthquake that registered at a magnitude of 9.1 to 9.3 caused a string of devastating tsunamis, some reaching up to 100ft high in Southeast Asia. The earthquake was recorded as one of the deadliest natural disasters in history, taking the lives of over 200,000 and causing billions of dollars in damage and the destruction of many people’s homes.

Among those who tragically lost their lives in the tsunami was 31-year-old Deborah Garlick from England who was vacationing in Thailand at the time. When her parents received their daughter’s possessions, they found this photograph which was likely taken shortly before the tragic event took place.

Below is what I add and say.

Of course this is from me! Dog bites mans balls. The boys being boys!

Pretty much self explanatory with the man behind this group.

Annara Mundu The medieval undergarments of women in Kerala, India

Image
Until about fifty years ago, most of the women of present-day Kerala in India used to wear undergarments called  onnara mundu  that literally translates to ‘one and a half a loincloth’. This was essentially a loincloth made of thinner cotton fabric and tied in a particular fashion. There used to be a little function for young girls on the threshold of puberty to move from a  konakam  or loincloth to the more sophisticated and feminine  onnara mundu . It was one of our rites of passage. The  onnara mundu  did for the waist what the corset did for the upper body for women in the West. The upper portion of the body was bare and so nobody really cared how ‘stuff’ grew :P All the focus was on the waist and downward. Hence the importance of the  onnara mundu.  It was tied very tightly around the growing waists of the girls to give them the trademark South Indian body shape as they grew older. But due to the fabric, it was very comfortable to wear a...

Who are The indigenous white Muslims?

THE WHITE MUSLIMS - A LARGE GROUP SIMPLY NEGLECTED Whites and Muslims are always 2 different groups in the eyes of many westerners. But there are close to 100-150 million white Muslims in the broader description of the white race. and even in the most conservative definition of "white", there are close to at least 40-50 Million Muslims. Chechen Muslim insurgents who fought against Russia for independence There are the obvious white Muslims who live in Europe or on the edge of the continent in countries like Bosnia, Albania, Kosovo, Bulgaria, Russia and Turkey. The Definition of the White race has always been in debate since the formation of USA. America Described "anyone with middle eastern, European or North African Descent as white"  The middle east obviously has people who could fit the visible test of being white but then there are also quite a number of middle easterners who clearly look nothing like white. But despite the American c...

Largest Snakes in History

Image
Largest Snakes in History Humans have an innate fear of snakes. Ophidiophobia is one of the most common phobias in the world, and studies have shown that most primates are genetically wired to detect snakes rapidly. Prehistory is writhing with snakes, but not just little ones - some were true giants. Everyone talks about  Titanoboa cerrejonensis.  I tend to refrain from writing about famous, popular fossil taxa, but it would be wrong to exclude it from this answer. So,  Titanoboa  was 12.8 metres long, a ton in weight, and commonly cited as the largest snake in history. To at least bring something new to the table, I should mention that  studies  have suggested that  Titanoboa  was more of a piscivore (fish-eater) than a megafauna-killer. Perhaps the snake was in fact a gentle giant? Before the discovery of  Titanoboa,  the title of largest snake went to a different species -  Gigantophis garstini . It lived about 20 million years a...
