The severed head of Japanese writer Yukio Mishima, who committed ritual suicide after a failed coup attempt in 1970.
1923 FA Cup Final
A crowd estimated up to 300,000 began spilling onto the field and mounted policemen were called in to help disperse it, led by George Scorey and his horse Billie. Although there were other horses, Billie's image became iconic. The match eventually started 45 mins late and is still known as the White Horse Final, even though Billie was actually gray.

Gerald Ford, Michigan's starting center.
I believe he was drafted by the Detroit Lions but chose not to sign/join the team.

1955 24 Hours of Le Mans motor race, when a crash caused large pieces of racing car debris to fly into the crowd. Eighty-three spectators and driver Pierre Levegh died at the scene, whilst 120 more were injured in the most catastrophic accident in motorsport history.

I've been trying to find a picture online for awhile now with no luck. I saw it in a Time book of pictures from about 15 years ago. It is a black and white photo of two men in a cafe from about the 1950's time period. Someone is across the street taking their photo and they are looking at him like WTF. Turns out the guy is taking the photo of a woman who jumped off the top of the building and is moments from hitting the ground right in front of them. I'd love to find it because it is really amzing.

Wow I knew Jeff Davis was pretty liberal for his day, but I had no idea his wife was part black.

An improvisational welcome party. American and russian soldiers meet at the Elbe river, city of Torgau. April 25, 1945
Japanese soldier (now a prisoner) in the German army at Normandy, 1944
Horace Greasley standing defiantly against Himmler. Greasley was a British POW who escaped from his POW camp over 200 times to carry on a fling with a local German woman. He returned to his camp each night.
Mustang in a wind tunnel.
Pavlov's "house," Battle of Stalingrad. Definition of badass. Vasily Chuikov, commanding general of the Soviet forces in Stalingrad, later bragged that the Germans lost more men trying to take Pavlov's house than they did taking Paris.
Simo Häyhä, nicknamed the "White Death," was a Finnish Sniper during the Winter War with the Soviet Union. He was responsible for over 500 enemy kills over the course of ~100 days, averaging about 5 kills per day. He wore solid white camo and used a rifle with iron sights.
Members of Kampfgruppe Peiper massacred over 80 American POWs during the Battle of the Bulge.

Jayne Mansfield
From https://halloweensunseen.com/jaynemansfield.html
quote:
In the early morning hours of June 29, 1967 on a narrow country road in Louisiana, a grey 1966 Buick Electra was racing through the dark on its way to New Orleans. There was a white haze all around and on the road ahead made by a distant mosquito fogger which prevented the car's driver from seeing a slow moving tractor-trailer ahead. At approximately 2:15 a.m., the Electra slammed into the back of that truck, then slid under it. All three adults sitting in the car's front seat were killed instantly, but surprisingly, there were three children sleeping in the back seat and they were not hurt. Dead at the scene were the driver, Ronnie Harrison, Jayne Mansfield, Mansfield's boyfriend, Sam Brody, and Mansfield's small dog.
That's Mansfield under the sheet and her boyfriend by the car.
These are gruesome, so I'll give links instead of posting them.
Body of Mansfield's boyfriend trapped in car, with her scalp on the dash.
There were three kids in the backseat of the car, all of whom lived. One of them was Jane Mansfield's daughter, Mariska Hargitay, who you probably know for her role on Law & Order SUV.
