Top 10 Haunting Images Of Historic Tragedies.
Let’s start the video.
Tragedies such as bombings, wars, terrorist
attacks, natural disasters, and personal calamities
have left a permanent dent in history’s
timeline. As modern generations navigate their
own catastrophes, the events of yesteryear
still echo, demanding never to be forgotten.
On this list are haunting images taken during
and after terrible tragedies. They reflect
the severe impact of these events at the time
and in the years to come.
Warning: Some images may disturb sensitive
viewers.
Number 10. Shadows Remain After Bodies Are
‘Vaporized’ During Nuclear Blast.
When the nuclear bomb was dropped on Hiroshima
on August 6, 1945, people were going about
their day not knowing the terror at hand.
The intense heat from the blast caused “shadows”
to be burned into nearby surfaces, reflecting
the object that had been there mere seconds
before.
This happened with human victims as well.
Their likenesses were burned into the walls
or surfaces closest to where they were standing
or sitting when the blast occurred. This picture
is the last reminder of a man who had been
sitting or walking on the stairs as the bomb
hit. Number 9. Monument To Commemorate Fallen
New Zealand Soldiers.
Two years after the fierce Battle of the Somme
during World War I, New Zealand soldiers erected
a massive cross in memory of the comrades
who had lost their lives during the fighting.
This photo depicts two of these soldiers digging
a hole in which to erect the monument.
Number 8. Listening For Signs Of Life.
On December 28, 1959, part of the Coalbrook
mine just outside Sasolburg in the Free State,
South Africa, collapsed, injuring one miner.
A mine inspector was called in. He visited
the site within two weeks but was not told
of the incident. His report didn’t show
any abnormalities inside the mine.
Tragically, on January 21, 1960, Section 10
of the mine collapsed piece by piece while
1,000 miners were underground. 435 miners
remained trapped after the rest were able
to escape.
Number 7. More Than 900 Drink Laced ‘Kool-Aid’
At The Behest Of A Crazy Cult Leader.
On November 19, 1978, Jim Jones murdered more
than 900 people in Guyana. He gave them cyanide-laced
Flavor Aid to drink after telling them to
synchronize their watches.
The result was mass death rivaled only by
the events of 9/11. This grim picture is a
reminder of how easy it is for charismatic
psychopaths to infiltrate the minds of vulnerable
people. Even so, there are some angles to
this story that point in another direction.
Number 6. If I Fail, He Dies.
In an image eerily reminiscent of the situation
the world is currently facing, this picture
depicts Red Cross volunteers making face masks
during the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic.
The pandemic lasted from January 1918 to December
1920 and resulted in the deaths of over 50
million people worldwide. One can only imagine
the type of determination that resulted from
the poster stuck against the flag in the background.
Unfortunately, this is not the only pandemic
the world has faced.
Number 5. Walking Into Disaster.
The image on the left shows the crew on their
way to board the Space Shuttle Challenger
for their mission to space on January 28,
1986. They look happy, excited, and obviously
completely unaware that they will not return
alive. Or at all.
Seventy-three seconds after the launch of
the Challenger, the spacecraft broke apart
in the air, killing all aboard.
Number 4. Leaving War Only To Find Heartbreak.
After surviving the devastation of World War
II, this unnamed German soldier couldn’t
wait to return home.
Tragically, as he arrives at the place he
once called home, he finds nothing but burned
remains of the structure. Then he learns that
his entire family died after air raids by
Allied forces.
Number 3. Soldiers Horrified By Footage Of
Concentration Camps.
Although many Germans were aware of the mass
slayings of Jewish people during the Holocaust,
it is believed that some did not know about
the atrocities in concentration camps. By
the beginning of 1945, an estimated 1.1 million
people had been killed at Auschwitz.
This image reflects the horror that some German
soldiers (who were prisoners of war) experienced
after being forced to watch footage from the
concentration camps in 1945.
Number 2. Punishment For Not Meeting Daily
Quota.
During the reign of King Leopold II of Belgium
in Congo, the man in this picture, Nsala,
failed to reach his daily rubber collection
quota in 1904. As punishment, the Belgian
overseers cut off his five-year-old daughter’s
hand and foot.
Nsala is staring at the dismembered remains
here. The overseers then killed his daughter
and wife and cannibalized both.
Number 1. Barely Alive.
This disturbing photograph is just one piece
of evidence of the atrocities that occurred
in the Andersonville Prison, eventually known
as the worst prisoner-of-war camp ever in
the US. Soldiers were fed regularly; prisoners
were not.
The man in this image, a Union Army soldier,
barely survived the Andersonville Prison after
wasting away from hunger during the US Civil
War. He was eventually released in May 1865.
