Jason Clark, a TikTok star with over 415,000 followers, attempted to swim under the ice on a frozen lake in Utah. While he initially started strong, he quickly became disorientated, and struggled to find the hole he’d made in the ice to get out. He explained: “I have never been this close to dying. I didn’t think my eyeballs would freeze so quick. “The surface of the water where the hole was didn’t look any different than the bottom of the ice. When I flipped around and felt solid ice I thought I was at the hole.” When Mr Clark realised he wasn’t at the hole, he decided to follow the dust that he’d kicke...

The execution of the men responsible for the destruction of millions of lives in Nazi Germany was meant to be a swift and controlled act of justice at Nuremberg. On a cold night in October 1946, inside the prison gym in Nuremberg, the final punishment of the leaders of Nazi Germany, who had been convicted during the Nuremberg trials, was about to be carried out. But just as the men were about to meet their end, everything changed. One of the biggest Nazis of them all, Hermann Göring, took a cyanide capsule in his cell and cheated the hangman. Joachim von Ribbentrop followed next. Master Sergeant John C. Woods, a U.S. Army sergeant, was placed in charge of the executions. However, the execution equipment was poorly constructed. The wooden trapdoors for the hangings were too small and caused problems during the process. Ribbentrop struggled to die as his full weight suddenly dropped to the length of the rope, with the frame of the trapdoor hitting him in the stomach area and the bac...

Execution of Auschwitz commandant Rudolf Höss Rudolf Höss was hanged on April 16, 1947, in the inner courtyard next to the former crematorium at Auschwitz. Höss was the commandant of the Auschwitz concentration and extermination camp. There, he was responsible for the deaths of nearly one million Jews and other camp prisoners. After the war, Höss lived under a false name for a time, but in March 1946 a British team located him. He later testified at the Nuremberg Trials. The Allies handed him over to Poland because Auschwitz was located in Polish territory during the German occupation. Therefore, he was tried in Poland. Höss wrote his autobiography in his cell, in which he expressed regret for what had happened but denied guilt. He claimed he had only been following orders. In March 1947, the judge found Höss guilty and sentenced him to death.

A chip of steel flew off a piece of drilling equipment on a rig near Seminole, Oklahoma, and went into Wiley Post's left eye. Infection set in and the eye had to come out. He was twenty seven years old, a cotton farmer's son out of Van Zandt County with a grade school education, and he had just lost the one thing anybody would have told him a pilot cannot do without. The state cut him a check for it that fall of 1926. One thousand six hundred and ninety eight dollars and twenty five cents, ordered against the drilling company's insurance carrier. He took every dollar of that settlement and bought a wrecked, second hand Canadian built biplane. Then he set about learning to see again. He spent roughly two months at his uncle's place in southwest Texas doing almost nothing but practicing depth perception with the eye he had left, teaching himself to judge distance the way the rest of us do it with two. The government licensed him anyway after a probationary stretch of...

In 1943, Shoichi Yokoi served in the Imperial Japanese Army on the island of Guam. When US forces invaded the island in 1944, he retreated into the jungle. Because he did not believe reports of peace to be credible, he constructed an underground bunker using BAMBOO and foliage. All of his fellow soldiers eventually died, and for decades afterward, Yokoi survived entirely ALONE. Yokoi was discovered by TWO hunters on Guam in January 1972. Upon learning that WWII had already ended twenty-seven years ago, in 1945, HE was stunned to discover this fact. Upon returning to Japan in February 1972, thousands of people came out in droves to celebrate his survival. After spending thirty years isolated in the jungle, Yokoi struggled to adjust to the hustle and bustle of contemporary URBAN life. His military experience prevented Yokoi from enjoying his reunion with civilization. Ultimately, he remarried, assumed the role of a farmer, AND maintained anonymity throughout his remaining lifetime Y...

Two French soldiers after their capture by the Germans near Lille, May 1940. The visibly distraught West African rifleman is comforted by a fellow soldier whose collar bears the number "38", identifying the 38th Infantry Regiment. Part of the 25th Motorized Infantry Division, the regiment fought in Belgium before being encircled around Lille, resisting until May 31. The African soldier probably belonged to a different colonial unit. His identity and the exact location remain unknown, but the photograph (a German soldier who took part in the campaign) captures the human reality of the French Army’s chaotic retreat. Their names remain unknown.

Police bodycam shows officers handcuffing Henry Nowak as he lay dying Police have released bodycam footage showing officers handcuffing 18-year-old Henry Nowak as he lay dying. The BBC has chosen to remove the sound in parts of this video due to its distressing content. The footage from December showed his killer, Vickrum Digwa, claim he was racially abused by the teen and acted in self defence, which was a lie. He told officers his turban had been knocked off and said he had been injured. Police say they liaised with Henry Nowak's family before sharing the footage. It was also played in court. Digwa, 23, was jailed for life with a minimum of 21 years on Monday. He used a 21cm (8in) blade he said he carried as part of his Sikh faith to kill Nowak, who was walking home alone after a night out with friends in Southampton on 3 December. A judge dismissed racism claims made by Digwa. Speaking outside court, the victim's father, Mark Nowak, said the contrast between how his s...

One of the most well-known and horrible crimes happened in the process of the Dachau camp between 1942 and 1943 and was conducted by a physician by the name of Sigmund Rascher. He was fascinated with the study of the human body reaction on freezing. The Military Problem Loss of Nazi pilots in the cold ocean and soldiers in the Russian winter were also becoming an issue. They had the desire to rescue these men. To do so, they chose to determine precisely how much cold a person would take before his heart failed, and how to re-start a body that had gotten close to being frozen. More images  Human Beings as Lab Rats At Dachau, the prisoners were not treated like humans, but as objects. Quite a number of them had to sit in tanks of ice water. Some were left out in a freezing night naked. This failed to happen to most of these victims resulting in death as their hearts went dry because of the extreme cold. Unsuccessful Efforts to warm the Dead To the survivors who did not perish ...

Someone executed by electric chair does not feel pain The process of electrocution is pretty straight forward. You will be strapped into a hard backed wooden chair by leather belts at your wrists, ankles, forearms, chest and waist. Electrodes will be attached to the crown of your head and one or both of your calves. The electrodes will be faced with sponges soaked in a saturated brine to conduct the electricity into your body and reduce burning. On command from the warden, the power supply will be activated, delivering a fatal electric shock through your body at the electrodes. Most electric chairs deliver somewhere in the area of 5–13 amps of alternating current at between 1,700–2,500 volts. Multiple shocks are applied prior to checking for signs of life. The process is often more of an art than a science; executioners developed their own particular techniques through a process of trial and error. If done properly the sheer force of the electricity should depolarize and destroy y...

How people on death row act on the day of their execution According to some Death Row people I have corresponded with, people are generally quiet and perhaps reflective on their final day. They know exactly how the day will end for them, and they know (in virtually every case) that there is no possibility of reprieve or postponement. They have had plenty of time to write final letters or notes or poems or anything else, so there is no hurried scribbling. There are no maudlin farewells and forgivenesses or confessions. No wailing or crying all day. No pronouncing curses, no swearing, no angry outbursts, no complaints about unfairness or innocence. Generally, no conversations except perhaps with a priest or other religious figure. While every person approaches his execution in his own way, people generally are stoic about it. Some read a Bible or other holy book. Some pray, generally silently. No one tries to be humorous or heroic or memorable. They just wait, patiently, for the end...

Death row inmate chooses to be executed by firing squad over the electric chair A man sentenced to death in South Carolina has chosen to be executed by firing squad rather than the electric chair, which would make him the first death row inmate to die by firing squad in the state. Richard Bernard Moore, 57, would also be the first person executed in South Carolina in more than a decade, as the state has struggled to procure the drugs required to perform lethal injection. Moore, who was sentenced to death for the 1999 murder of a convenience store clerk, is set to be executed on April 29. In a court filing Friday, Moore chose to die by firing squad but added in a statement he will not lose hope in two pending court challenges to the constitutionality of the state's death penalty methods. "I believe this election is forcing me to choose between two unconstitutional methods of execution, and I do not intend to waive any challenges to electrocution or firing squad by making a...

Reasons why the Germans Shoot Female Russian Soldiers on Sight Stories about military history often focus on battlefield tactics and strategy. When they do focus on people, it is usually on a male soldier. However, during WWII, the Germans often executed female soldiers on sight. This is doubly amazing because it suggests women were a significant part of the fighting forces and that they provoked a visceral reaction from the Germans who captured them. Ancient battlefields were often just outside their city walls, and rulers formed armies composed of people who were normally peace-time farmers. With limited manpower, the bulk of the conscripts were needed for fighting. The remaining camp followers transported supplies, prepared the food, and performed other non-combat functions in order to maximize the availability of men for combat. Soviet soldiers of the Eastern Front during a short rest after fighting, 1 April 1944. The lack of weapons and armor for camp followers allowed them t...

Reasons why execution by hanging still exist Because it works and it is not complicated to do. All you need is a strong enough rope and a strong enough support to hang it from - no more technology than that. No drugs or gas the supplier can cut off the supply of, no high-voltage electric generator, no guns, just a simple rope. It also happens to be a very quick method if done by the measured long drop. This was invented in the UK. If the rope is too short, the prisoner strangles slowly, and if it is too long, there is the risk of ripping his head off. So the key point with this is to calculate the right length of drop according to the prisoner’s weight. Get this right (and British executioners were good at doing the sums) and the prisoner dies almost instantly of the hangman’s fracture - fracture of the second and third cervical vertebrae, which will also cut the spinal cord. The normal range of drops is between five and eight feet - a heavier prisoner needs a shorter drop as his...
