Infamous Events That Were Worse Than You Realize

[@GrungeHQ]

Which of these did you find the most shocking?

[@katherineknapp4370]

All of them 😢

[@JohnPepp]

Linda Ham that had the final say in getting pictures of the Columbia should had been tried for a crime.

[@shuga1313]

One woman's denial horribly changed many lives forever . Why was Linda Hamm allowed to walk away from this ?

[@martinzaehringer1697]

Of course she did. She was a public employee.

[@movieforge01]

They 100% knew the Columbia was not coming home. They knew the whole time they were in space. They knew every day as they were talking to the oblivious astronauts. They knew less than an hour after take off the shuttle was doomed.

"...It would therefore waste too much time...." Waste too much time from _what?_ Was there some sort of problem-solving time limit that I am not aware of? TF?!

[@Koakoa45]

I grew up in Indianapolis. I met a kid I liked and started dating him. He belonged to Jim Jones church. I met Jim Jones and he did things to me I still can't talk about. When I refused to run away from my family and move west he ordered my boyfriend to "get rid of me." So on a date, he drove off the road on my side and rammed his old beat up car into a telephone pole. I never saw that kid or Jim Jones again. Then when I saw the mass murder news on television I was shocked. The kid I dated ended up not going but he lost his parents and siblings to the mass murder. Yeah life!

[@shanewoods1980]

And how many times did you see Jim jones personally?

[@Contessa6363]

I remember coming back home from highschool, I was a sophomore at the time, and turning on the television and finding out about this horrible tragedy. 😮😮 Jones Town

If it's possible, I want to put a funny spin on the Space Shuttle Columbia story. We had taken our daughter to Loma Linda hospital for a kidney transplant where we were visiting her on the morning of the Columbia disaster. While lying in her hospital bed, my wife and I were sitting with her watching the story as it was happening live on the news. Out of nowhere, some derelict-looking man wandered into our daughter's hospital room and started watching the news with us. The guy looked like he had just come out of the street after a week-long bender. His hair was all messy and his clothes wrinkled. I went and got the hospital security to toss the guy out of the room. Come to find out it was our daughter's doctor! I guess he is a world-renowned Nephrologist but has no sense of dress or hygiene. We didn't know. The guy never introduced himself, he just came into the room and started watching the news with us. After meeting him, we noticed that's how he showed up every day while treating her; messy hair, unshaven, and wrinkled shirts. I guess its true that you can't judge a book by its cover. The guy literally saved our daughter.

[@djg5950]

I'll give him the benefit of doubt. The reason for his messy appearance was probably not lack of hygiene but working longer hours than some less dedicated doctors would. He probably rarely went home to take a shower, shave, and put on a clean, unwrinkled shirt. Probably used most of the time he wasn't working to get some sleep. Even to the point of sleeping at the hospital and not changing his shirt when he woke up. Just immediately went back to work saving lives. We need more people like him in all walks of life.

[@tracymann3005]

Surgeons, emergency department doctors, and many PhD researchers are generally devoted to their jobs and view appearance a nuisance. I have a talented internist who dresses in ratty T-shirts. He saved my life with a truly out of the box theory and diagnosis. He’s often in a lab coat or scrubs so, why not be comfortable? One day he came in with a dress shirt, I said, new shirt, he said, how do you know? You know how they fold dress shirts in the store, in wrapping? It still had the creases. lol I really like him. BTW, I’ll never forget where I was when I learned about these tragedies. Back in the good ole days when society wasn’t separated by partisan politics and there weren’t conspiracy theories about everything that happened ten minutes after it occurred. People could unite over loss of every kind, and neighbors cared about one another. The media only covered events, and we never knew the political leanings of our news anchors, doctors, teachers, friends, family or neighbors.

[@Randy.E.R]

@@djg5950 Absolutely, the more this physician treated our daughter, I wondered when he got any sleep because I know that she wasn't his only patient. Again, I owe this man a million and one thank yous. It was a humbling experience for me because even as kids we are taught not to judge a book by its cover. The whole experience made our daughter choose a career in the medical field as an LVN. I have become familiar with the hours most physicians and some nurses keep. And now I understand why most of them look like they just rolled out of bed.

Exactly: 1. Supposed “adults” hiding in “safe spaces” with coloring books, teddy bears and hot chocolate. 2. Women shaving their heads and wearing blue bracelets and going celibate (for once in their lives) for their leaders. Typical cult mentality. Typical leftists.

Or the fact that Americans see devastation from floods, fires, tornadoes and hurricanes and our government “can’t afford to help Americans”?

[@sargentoinkwinson4888]

The ATF/FBI pumped the building with a flammable gas, then set off flash bangs (this is shown in the scene photos, also there was a tank, that was fixed with a flame thrower, there is video footage of the tank knocking a hole in the side of the building. You are incredibly ignorant of what happened at Mt Carmel. ANd probably shouldn't be allowed around children, if you think Vernon being married to a 14yo girl (that was legal btw) justifies the psychological torture of minors (because that's what the Feds did).
