Not Wikipedia, but a post from these very forums in the Healthcare thread. I think it fits this one as well. Insanely :nms: story about what happens if you fall and can't get up...and no one finds you for a while.

Is there a way I can un-read this?

You do realise there are two entities called Tom Cruise, right? One is "Crazy Scientologist Wazzock" Tom Cruise, the other is "Pretty Good Actor Who Stars in Films I Like" Tom Cruise, and I refuse, refuse, to believe they are the same person :colbert:.

Yeah so it turns out the airliner that just crashed in the Alps was crashed deliberately by the co-pilot, after he locked the other pilot out of the cockpit.

The Daily Mail may be wrong on a lot of things, but they are right on this. Why the gently caress did the airline company allow someone with a mental illness in the cockpit?

Are you one of those guys that stands in front of planned parenthoods with ABORTION = MURDER signs?

Hahahaha holy poo poo, look at this guy.

I'm guessing this is a troll, but yeah when the 7-months pregnant mother isn't actually planning on aborting, and is hoping to give birth and raise the kid, then killing her unborn child sure sounds like a crime equal to murder, in any sane person's books - even if it doesn't fit a textbook definition of "murder" - and it should be punished just as severely.

They've recovered a video of the final moments of the german plane crash, taken by a passenger apparently.

http://news.sky.com/story/1456421/video-captures-final-moments-of-alps-crash

quote:

Paris Match, which has not published the video, reported: "The scene was so chaotic that it was hard to identify people, but the sounds of the screaming passengers made it perfectly clear that they were aware of what was about to happen to them.

"One can hear cries of 'My God' in several languages."

The newspaper added that metallic banging can be heard in the footage, before the screaming gets louder and the video ends.

Yeah, I don't think I'm gonna be watching that.

Yeah, I mean why couldn't they just have sent someone around to Hitler's house and shot him? That could have ended the war real quick and avoided civilian bloodshed.

Please, minorities were still being lynched in the streets and in their homes decades after WWII. Germany and Japan were doing that poo poo on a grand scale and in massive events that can be named, and that's the only reason people call them "the bad guys" when in reality nearly every country is just as bad as each other. I'm not sticking up for Japan or Germany, I'm just against framing the Allies as heroic do gooders when they'd also been extermanating and torturing people for their race, religion, sexuality, and mental condition for as long as they existed.

I, too, remember when Churchill killed 6 million ethnic minorities in the concentration camps of England.

There's not a single global nuclear war scenario that doesn't result in a horrific end-of-times hellscape for everyone in the civilised world.

The only people that might still be able to cling onto a sense of normalcy are maybe some self-sufficient and remote southern hemisphere communities, but all bets are off if nuclear winter fucks over their ability to produce food I guess.

The question that fascinates me is: will humanity learn from this? Or will the civilisation that arises from the ashes just blow themselves up again in the same way, Ad infinitum?

A baby formula company was literally making formula with no nutritional content. And that's not a case of somebody not wearing a hair net or some bizarre cow disease, it's an entire company deciding to cut corners by making something that would vaguely look like milk when combined with water.

Sounds like a Libertarian utopia!

Not a wikipedia article, but this just popped up in the news.

I'll just link to it, it's a pretty short article, but very sad and unnerving:

For whatever reason, spelunkers have an odd obsession with food. See: cave bacon and popcorn.

Might have something to do with starving to death while trapped in tight spaces.

Bacon? Check.
Popcorn? Check.
A tendency to confine themselves in small, dark crevices, isolated from the outside world? Check.

Spelunkers and Goons have much in common, it would seem.

Back on topic: I was poking around this historical photos site that was posted above (but now I've forgotten what for) and found this bit of history both heartbreaking and creepy. Note: charred, unrecognizable human remains in a photo at the top. Lots of graphic historical photos in side links. Possibly :nws: or :nms: if you are sensitive to photos of death and violence.
