Wasn't there also a big glowing asterisk in the form of radiation from the corpses?

Yeah, the radiation (lanterns) and bad state of the bodies (missing tongues and whatnot) are people not understanding what happens to bodies of people who did in remote locations with lots of carnivorous wildlife around.

The verifiable weirdness of the story is based around the fact that they all fled from the tent in such a hurry that they literally cut their way out rather than take the time to unbutton the opening (which was, by all accounts, a slow process). Further evidence of their haste is that none of them was fully prepared to go out, with some going so far as to not put on boots. Something happened to make them flip their poo poo and sprint for the treeline down the mountain.

Five of the nine had no physical injuries at autopsy and died of hypothermia, while four died of massive internal injuries that the examiner couldn't explain. Avalanche makes some sense, but there wasn't an avalanche where they were, their tent was still visible when the searchers found them, and an avalanche big enough to do that kind of damage would have also broken arms and legs, which didn't happen.

There's a possibility that the autopsies were botched and that there's a perfectly reasonable explanation, but on the basis of what we know now, it is at least kind of a mystery and it's definitely unnerving.

A black WWII veteran, Isaac Woodard, freshly discharged in Georgia, pisses off his bus driver in South Carolina for asking for a bathroom break. Bus driver calls cops, they beat him, gouge out his eyes, and put him in jail for 30 days.

Here’s Orion Welles getting angry about it on the radio.

The medical report on Woodward's injuries determined the cops hadn't actually gouged his eyes out, instead they'd beaten him in the face so hard and so many times that his eyes 'ruptured irreparably in their sockets', a phrase which has stayed with me down the years.

There was no one in particular threatening her, Ms. Reyes said, but she could not shake her fear. She told her mother: “I feel like somebody’s going to murder me.”

The next day, she did not show up for work as a clerk at Barnes & Noble in Scarsdale. On Tuesday, eight days after that phone call, her body was found in a suitcase on the side of a quiet, residential road in Greenwich, Conn., about 14 miles from her apartment.

So, I double checked with my friend to see if there was any followup with her cousin's death in Austria. The answer was "No."

Too much time had passed, and basically everyone who had been involved, according to what she knew, was basically gone or couldn't be linked.

Girl goes on a cruise with family, contracts a mysterious illness which explodes her face and blinds her.

quote:

“During the 3 to 4-hour wait in the ER, Jordyn began to swell, causing a sudden loss of vision,” the page reads. “The pressure behind Jordyn’s eyes was an average of 85 mm Hg - the normal eye pressure is around 12-22 mm Hg. Ophthalmologists cut slits by her eyes to detach her eyelids and to try and open the eye socket in order to reduce swelling.”

Doctors also removed bones near her eye sockets to fight against the swelling. But despite their best efforts, “it was determined that Jordyn would be completely blind,” according to the GoFundMe page.

The story of the collision between the USS Fitzgerald and a civilian cargo ship. Unnerving in that it happened because the US Navy had spread itself so thin that several critical systems were inoperable. Due to a mixture of lack of parts for repair, not enough crew and lack of training/ inexperience of the crew they actually had.

The worst part for me, is the part that none of this is going to change.

I guarantee you nearly all those parts and pieces that were inoperable were all under some contract, removing the capability for repair and replacement from the operators and maintainers themselves, set up to line the pockets of some defense contractor.

And because our acquisition system is so broken, this will not change before humanity becomes extinct in a few generations.
