Free your mind. Lol


At what temperature does steel structural fail? Curious.

Many people claim that she was the inspiration for it but Carroll say no. Anyway, she was real and he did know her so....

depends on the structure? Steel melts at 2700F but weakens before that.

I'll be the first to admit that I don't know much about Jefferson Davis, other than his involvement in civil war, BUT if this pic is real and that is his wife, it sure looks like he married a "mixed woman".

The Mt. St. Helens eruption was one of the most destructive in modern U.S. History. The eruption column alone was over 80,000 ft high and the mudslide created by the melted snow and ice created a swath of destruction that stretched out for over 50 miles. The entire North face of the mountain literally exploded.

The eruption occurred over several days in March starting with a 4.0 earthquake and then the first major eruption on March 27. The side of the mount exploded as groundwater came in contact with magma ejecting rock and volcanic ash into the atmosphere. The force of the successive explosions equaled 25 megatons of force which was 1,600 times as powerful as the nuclear warhead that was dropped on Hiroshima with a blast radius of over 19 miles. The blast traveled at the speed of sound mowing down acres of forest. The heat of the gases were so intense that even trees that escaped the destruction ended up having their bark singed.

Galveston hurricane 1900



God’s gift to the young – resilience – boy, sitting on debris in the wake of the 1900 hurricane, Galveston, Texas. He told the photographer, ” I’m glad I’m living.”


Men carrying body of victim of hurricane and flood for burning to large open fire, Galveston, Texas. Hundreds were buried at sea, hundreds more cremated. The very real fear of disease meant that the dead received the necessary benedictions but very little ceremony.

Hindenburg Disaster

It was 75 years ago the hydrogen-filled German airship Hindenburg burned and crashed in Lakehurst, killing 35 of the 97 people on board and a Navy crewman on the ground.

He did adopt a black child while he was president, but she's not "mixed" - at least there's no evidence of such. Her parents were from New Jersey, with direct lines of descent from Europe. Of course, momma's baby is daddy's maybe without DNA evidence...
