That reminded me of this famous photo:


Edit: Robert Capa's famous photo from the Spanish Civil War of a Republican soldier in civilian clothes at the moment he was shot.

There are pictures of him actually being consumed by the fire but I'm not posting them here.

I wish I had not watched it either but from what I remember, that dude was either drugged or had balls of steel.

No, there needs to be sone sort of description.
We all aren't spending every day memorizing every unsettling photo on the internet.

I don’t believe the video is out there anymore. Fox got into deep shite for having it on their site.

Either that or it was fake because he didn't move the entire time and he wasn't some Tibetan monk

That picture of the lifeless body and person using a chair, along with the kids smiling in the background reminds me of the scum in today’s society that don’t value life.

So I watched the Gonzalo Rodriguez crash & I’m assuming the red stuff coming out of the vehicle that you can see right after he hit the wall & flipped forward is blood.


I've watched the video ten times now and don't see "red stuff" at all. It's so fast and the camera is so far away, and the quality is so poor, I have no idea how y'all can see anything like that.

The big guy in the picture is Maurice Tillet, aka The French Angel. He was a Russian born wrestler who had a disease that gave him the giant like appearance. Here is an IMdb link to his story. LINK

Yeah, it's not confirmed according to the story, but pretty widely accepted as fact. I mean, the resemblance is uncanny.

In 1960, Japanese socialist leader Inejiro Asanuma was assassinated by radical right-wing activist Otoya Yamaguchi with a samurai sword during a televised debate. Asanuma was a communist sympathizer and wanted to link Japan more closely with China politically.



If there isn't a Yamaguchi day holiday in Japan, there should be.

Since then, right-wing groups have held an annual commemoration of Yamaguchi's death anniversary each year on 2 November.[2] In October 2010, right-wing groups staged a large-scale celebration of the 50th anniversary of Yamaguchi's assassination of Asanuma in Hibiya Park.[10]

There was an interview or documentary I watched a few years ago about a platform that exploded and everyone died except a few people. They interviewed one of the survivors, who said him and a couple of other people climbed to the very top of the platform and as far away from the flames as they could. The temperature got so hot that they finally just had to leap off the platform into pitch black smoke not knowing really what direction and where they would land. IIRC he was the only one of his group of three that survived. It made me sweat just listening to him telling the story.



If you've spent any time working offshore, especially if working for European companies, you'll hear all about piper alpha.

IIRC, they didn't have a good plan in place for what to do in case of a fire. Their muster area was the galley, but no one knew what to do beyond that, so they all just stayed in the galley for *way* too long. I don't remember if they died there, or if they eventually tried to leave or what, but the OP of that photo is correct that this single incident has absolutely transformed the concept of "safety" in the offshore oil and gas industry.

That video is nuts. the slow motion replay shows basically the entire sword going into his body.

Ouch.
