The photograph of Kurt Cobain in tears has been extensively published



"The photograph of Kurt Cobain in tears has been extensively published. Tilton watched Cobain smash his guitar through an amplifier and walk offstage. He followed him backstage. The pent-up emotion 'just had to go somewhere,' says Tilton, and Cobain burst into tears. 'What I really love about it is that it is a very real moment, and he allowed it. Other artists would have said, 'Not now, lan, please!' It is very unusual," adds Tilton, "for anyone from a band to show such vulnerability!"

Nirvana played a concert in Beunos Aires where the crowd threw mud and trash at the all-girl opening act. 

Kurt Cobain was so upset that he sabotaged the show by playing mostly lesser known songs and teasing 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' without ever playing it.

A U.S. marine gives a cigarette to an injured Japanese soldier, buried in the sand at the battle of Iwo Jima in 1945. Equipped with a grenade, the soldier lay in ambush for 36 hours. Marines spotted him concealed in the dark sand and managed to dislodge the grenade out of his reach. Although he surrendered, the cautious Marines suspected potential booby traps and approached carefully. At his request, he was given a cigarette, and thereafter, they cautiously removed him from the shell hole. The 3rd and 4th Marine Divisions broke up the remaining organized resistance on March 16, 1945, the same day this photo was taken. Occasionally individual enemy soldiers armed with demolition charges and grenades raced out against tanks or groups of Marines but were shot down before they could do any great damage to personnel or equipment. Isolated pockets, totaling some 3,000 enemy soldiers, remained around the island. US V Amphibious Corps Command declared Iwo Jima secure at 1800...

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...

The indigenous people of North Sentinel Island have been living there for an estimated 60,000 years.

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...
