This is a photo of the control room of a German submarine (UB-110) during World War 1 in 1918. The submarine was recovered from the bottom of the ocean. The gears and wheels in the control room were color coded and some had numbers to help sailors operate them. At the start of World War 1, German U-boats initially followed naval warfare procedures by warning and allowing merchant ships to evacuate before attacking. However, when the Allies armed their merchant vessels and counterattacked, the Germans began sinking merchant ships without warning. Until 1942, it was common for U-boats to provide food, water, and directions to survivors of torpedoed ships. This changed when a U-boat flying the Red Cross flag, while towing lifeboats, was attacked by a U.S. bomber. The U-boat had to abandon the survivors and dive to avoid destruction. After this incident, the Germans were prohibited from operating under prize rules, leading to unrestricted submarine wa...

The girl's hairstyle consists of two loop-like arrangements on the sides, formed by wrapping the hair around a U-shaped wooden hair bow. It is called a squash blossom whorl and is traditionally worn by unmarried women in the Hopi tribe. This hairstyle also served as inspiration for Princess Leia's hair in the movie Star Wars. The Hopi tribe is a Native American group that considers themselves the original inhabitants of America. They believe that their village in Oraibi, Arizona is the oldest continuously inhabited settlement in the United States. Archaeological evidence confirms their presence in the Southwest region for thousands of years. The Hopi people primarily engage in agriculture, cultivating crops such as cotton, sunflowers, squash, corn, beans, and pumpkins. Today, most of them live on a reservation spanning 2,500 square miles in Arizona. The Hopi tribe holds strong spiritual beliefs rooted in Animism. They believe they are t...

After the nuclear accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Ukraine in April 1986, workers made a surprising discovery eight months later.  When they entered a corridor below the damaged No. 4 reactor, they found a remarkable sight: a black lava-like substance flowing from the reactor core, resembling a man-made volcano.  Among these hardened masses, one stood out, and the crew gave it the nickname "Elephant's Foot" due to its resemblance to the foot of the large mammal.

The indigenous people of North Sentinel Island have been living there for an estimated 60,000 years. The island is similar in size to Manhattan and is located in the Indian Ocean. Around 80 to 150 individuals live on the island and rely on hunting and gathering, similar to the Stone Age. They do not practice agriculture. Many attempts have been made to contact them from the outside world, but these efforts have been met with strong hostility. In 1771, a ship from the East India Company saw lights on the shore of North Sentinel Island but did not investigate further. In 1867, an Indian merchant ship was forced to land on the island due to heavy monsoons. After spending three days there, the crew was attacked by a barrage of arrows. They defended themselves with basic weapons until the Royal Navy came to their rescue. In 1880, the British returned to the island and found a deserted village. They kidnapped six Sentinelese individuals, but all of the...

Shavarsh Karapetyan, a retired Armenian swimmer, had an incredible experience in 1976. After finishing a 26 km (16 mile) run, he heard a loud noise and found out that a trolleybus had crashed into a reservoir. The trolleybus had sunk 10 meters (33 ft) deep, about 25 meters (82 ft) from the shore. Despite the difficult conditions of dirty water and poor visibility, Karapetyan bravely dived in and used his legs to break open the back window of the trolleybus. With great determination, he saved 46 out of the 92 passengers, rescuing 20 lives. But the cold water and broken glass caused many cuts on Karapetyan's body, and he had to stay in the hospital for 45 days. He faced more problems like pneumonia and sepsis. Although he eventually recovered, the damage to his lungs meant he couldn't continue his successful swimming career. "I knew I could only save a limited number of lives. I was scared of making mistakes. It was so dark down...

For millennia, this cave in Italy remained isolated from the rest of the world. However, scientists have recently revealed the presence of nine Neanderthal individuals within it. These remains, which range in age from 50,000 to 100,000 years old, represent one of the most extensive collections of Neanderthal remains ever found. Despite differences in age and gender, a common characteristic among these bones is the presence of bite marks caused by hyenas. This suggests that the Neanderthals' existence revolved more around being preyed upon rather than solely engaging in hunting activities.

A group of four NASA volunteers has embarked on a 378-day mission in which they will be locked in a ground-based simulation of the planet Mars. The mission, which began on Sunday, is the first of three year-long Mars surface simulations, according to NASA. During the mission, crew members will live and work in a 3D-printed, 1,700-square-foot habitat. NASA says researchers will simulate the challenges of a human mission to Mars, including resource limitations, equipment failure, and communication delays.

On September 16, 1932, in his cell at Yerwada Jail in Pune, Mahatma Gandhi began a hunger strike to protest British support of a new Indian constitution. This constitution granted the country's lowest classes, known as "untouchables," their own separate political representation for a period of 70 years. After a six-day fast, the British government accepted the principal terms of a settlement between higher caste Indians and the untouchables, leading to the reversal of the separation decision. As India gradually moved towards independence, Gandhi's influence continued to grow. He persistently resorted to hunger strikes as a method of resistance, recognizing that the British government would be unable to withstand the pressure generated by public concern for the man they referred to as Mahatma, or "Great Soul." On January 12, 1948, Gandhi undertook his final successful fast in New Delhi, aiming to persuade Hindus and Muslims ...

In September of 1992, Pearl Jam celebrated their seemingly overnight success by staging a free show in Seattle's Magnusson Park, drawing a crowd of over 70,000 people. During the show, Eddie Vedder, the lead singer, embarked on a death-defying feat. He climbed the stage scaffolding with 100 feet of microphone cable trailing behind him, looped it over the top, rappelled down, and swung out over the audience. "I was channeling something different," Eddie once reflected on his onstage escapades. "I reached that place you hear about where a mother lifts a car off her two-year-old child. It was that kind of adventure. At that point in my life, finally having the opportunity to perform for larger crowds, I genuinely felt like I had nothing to lose. I wasn't thinking about what might await me in the future. It was all about the present moment. This mindset aligned with the message we, as a group, wanted to convey to the audience...

Tom Stoddart captured this moment by camera in 1998. The photograph was taken in Sudan, specifically at Aijep, Bahr el Ghazal. In the city, it was taken at the Medecins San Frontieres, which is a feeding center at Aijep. The photograph was taken for general news stories. The main issue of concern in this photograph is the famine in Sudan. In the beginning of 1998, about 250,000 people died during the famine in south-western Sudan As you look at this picture, you tend to notice the boy’s look of malnourishment, but you do not exactly understand what he is doing in this picture till you read the caption. The caption to this photograph explains that a well fed Sudanese man steals corn from a famished boy during a food distribution He decided to take pictures of the 1998 famine because at the time, the famine was not being taken care of, and he wanted people to realize what was going on so more people could help. In an interview with Tom Stoddart, he say...

The most striking historical photos you have seen? No news picture in history has generated so much emotion around the world as that one." John F. Kennedy Thich Quang Duc was a Vietnamese Mahayana Buddhist monk who burned himself to death at a busy Saigon road intersection on 11 June 1963. Another photograph of the scene Diem once told a high-ranking officer, forgetting that the officer was of Buddhist descent, "Put your Catholic officers in sensitive places. They can be trusted." As a result, many officers in the Army of the Republic of Vietnam converted to Roman Catholicism as their military prospects depended on it. Additionally, the distribution of firearms to village self-defense militias saw weapons given only to Roman Catholics, with some Buddhists in the army being denied promotion if they refused to convert to Roman Catholicism. Given the circumstances, Quang Duc was protesting the persecution of Buddhists by the South Vietnames...

Remember the Thammasat Massacre as an act of organised hate Thailand Massacre (Neil Ulevich) Neal Ulevich won the 1977 Pulitzer Prize for a “series of photographs of disorder and brutality in the streets of Bangkok, Thailand” The Thammasat University Massacre took place on October 6, 1976. It was a very violent attack on students who were demonstrating against Field Marshall Thanom Kittikachorn. Protestors and students were beaten, mutilated, shot, hung and burnt to death. The desecration of corpses on 6 October 1976: who, how and why It is not the number of the deceased (40) that has made the massacre of students at Thammasat University on 6 October 1976 linger in the memories of no small number of people, so much as images showing the unthinkably savage actions committed against the victims. But we would be mistaken to think that it was only those most repulsive actions that led to the deaths of people that day. From careful study ...

The images provide an intimate and sometimes painfully unheroic close-up view of chaos, confusion and upheaval in the face of military subjugation. A corpse lies on the street as passers-by walk on seemingly unperturbed; burned-out buses block normally busy thoroughfares; troops in military vehicles display boredom, exhaustion and fear; angry civilians remonstrate beside tanks; a soldier aims his gun, disconcertingly, straight at the camera at point-blank range. Against the backdrop of military might, some incongruous snatches of everyday normality shine through: a man astride his bicycle, well-dressed office workers en route to work, smiling teenagers with trendy haircuts chatting in front of a tank, watched by wary soldiers. The pictures were taken by a Czech photographer, Milan Linhart, in the hours following the Soviet-led invasion of what was then Czechoslovakia by Warsaw Pact forces on 21 August, 1968. They are now on display in Prag...

French journalist Victor Noir's grave features a sculpture with a highly noticeable protuberance in Noir's trousers. This unique characteristic has turned it into one of the most popular memorials for women to visit in the renowned cemetery. According to the myth, women can enhance fertility, bring about a blissful sex life, or even find a husband within a year by following a specific ritual.  The ritual involves placing a flower in the upturned top hat, kissing the statue on the lips, and rubbing its genital area. Over time, these specific parts of the statue have become worn and shiny due to the legend's popularity, as depicted in other images. Victor Noir met his demise in 1870, and the life-sized bronze statue portrays him in a realistic style, as if he had just fallen on the street after the incident.

Ethiopia's 'Abuna Yemata Guh' is arguably the most inaccessible place of worship on earth and has to be climbed on foot to reach. Located in the Tigray region of northern Ethiopia, this ancient rock-hewn church stands atop a vertical cliff, perched at an elevation of around 2,580 meters (8,460 feet). It is considered one of the most inaccessible and challenging religious sites to reach in the world. The construction of rock-hewn churches in Ethiopia has a long history dating back to the 4th century AD, during the time of the Aksumite Empire. These churches were built by carving into solid rock formations, creating impressive architectural masterpieces. The rock-hewn churches served as centers of religious devotion and provided shelter during times of conflict. Abuna Yemata Guh is believed to have been carved out of the cliff face during the 5th century, making it over 1,500 years old. It is dedicated to Saint Yemata, a legendary Ethiopian saint wh...

On July 28, 1945, a B-25 Mitchell bomber named "Old John Feather Merchant" was flying in thick fog over New York City when it tragically crashed into the north side of the Empire State Building. The impact occurred at the 79th floor, causing a massive explosion and engulfing the building in flames.  The intense collision resulted in the loss of 14 lives, including the three crew members aboard the aircraft. The remaining victims were workers and occupants of the building who were caught in the chaos and devastation. The incident sent shockwaves through the city and the nation as news of the catastrophic accident spread. One of the most remarkable stories to emerge from this tragedy was that of Betty Lou Oliver, an elevator operator on duty that fateful day. As the B-25 bomber tore through the building, its wings severed the elevator cables, leaving Betty Lou trapped in a free-falling elevator car. The elevator plunged an astonishing 75 st...
