I was visiting the Vatican when this happened. to say it was a surprise is an understatement. I think it's easy to forget that behind these colorful uniforms are men who are just as fragile and as human as the rest of us. great job with the analysis, Dr. Grande!

“The line of DMV is short” cracks me up🤣 thank you Dr. Grande.

[@janefreeman995]

The witty mention of the DMV and waiting in line brought back memories of the massive lines waiting to get into the Vatican and St. Peters Cathedral. Traveler tip; buy your Vatican tickets online and have priority. I was able to see the Sistine Chapel with just a handful of others around. Also, get to St. Peters before it opens, before dawn and wait with the nuns and priests on pilgrimage. I stood before Michelangelo's Pieta for several minutes by myself. I'm not even Catholic and it was magnificent. Later in the day the line was six people deep for blocks.

[@DrLC.]

Best advice! Thank you!

[@thespia]

Also...if you get in line really early...head straight to the chapel and bypass everything else. You'll be in there alone and can go back and see the other stuff later.

[@KepiGal]

I was blessed to visit the Vatican in the early 70s. I was an adolescent. I love history and art and more than anything Jesus. I too stood in front of La Pieta and I got emotional looking at the reminder of Jesus' death. I also got to see the Sistine Chapel before it was restored; the colors were darker and richer. I haven't been back but I have seen pics of the Sistine Chapel after the restoration and they are bright but I liked it the "natural" way.

[@janefreeman995]

@@thespia Yes we did this as well ... however, I was also interested in a spending time with the Raphael frescoes ... The School of Athens/ Socrates stanzia and wished I'd spent just a few more moments there before darting off to the Sistine Chapel. I tried to go back but, it was packed and impossible to move against the flow. Nevertheless, an indelible experience. In the Sistine Chapel I did have some audio explanation and was able to experience it all the more. I thought I might have been distracting. .

[@janefreeman995]

@@KepiGal Yes Michelangelo's work is so moving. I have a theory that there are simply centuries of appreciation imbued right into the marble. The David was glowing and took my breath away.

I read the Agony and the Ecstasy before visiting these places. Really brought it to life.

Youch - I had an ex I'm pretty sure was a vulnerable narcissist. Always stressed, doggedly focused on their job and duties and really quite good at it, but somehow always a victim not being recognized for their efforts. I believed her stories and saw her as someone trying to do their best but getting unfairly rejected. When we broke up, she seemed to switch personalities and said things that were just off the rails, calling me a murderer and a drunk, and that was really the first time I started to wonder if her version of reality might be tinged with delusion. The description of how these narcissists find enemies based on their permanent victim status, then convince themselves that anything they do is justified, suddenly made me very glad things ended when they did.

As a manager of some experience, in applying the everlasting humiliation of losing his service medal, the Commander left the Guard with nowhere to go, other than to leave what would likely have been his life's ambition.

[@simonxag]

Usually when someone is disciplined (in any organization) they are handed the punishment. Not here. This was a setup of a surprise very public humiliation with a good chance that the Guard would react in the ceremony further adding to the grief.

Maybe it wasn't just the minor infraction. It sure looks like the young man was having an affair with the good commander's wife.

[@javierarreaza5601]

It’s true. There’s a whole recruitment process that qualified applicants need to follow. The Swiss guards date back to a time when mercenaries was one of then-poor Switzerland main exports. I suppose that the terms of the 500 year old agreement have been many times updated, but the basic deal remains the same. I believe it’s the only exception to the status of neutrality to which Swiss citizens are bound. No Swiss person can actively hold arms on behalf of another state without going to prison upon their return to Switzerland.

You're the only "true crime" podcast type thing I can tolerate regularly. I am one for whom such a case hit too close to home. But anyway, this channel is always respectful of all parties involved and very tasteful, so thank you.

I would love if you could analyze the uncommon death of the co-pilot Charles Crooks. He got so distraught after he had damaged the landing gears, that he jumped out of the plane midair and died, leaving the pilot to land on his own without functioning landing gears. A preliminary report came out the other day. I would love to hear your thoughts about everything and why he suddenly committed suicide. It is always a treat to hear you analysis of crimes, news and celebrities. Love your sarcastic and dry humor. 😁

[@mrazik131]

the pilot did not jump out, media made it that way, when they loose indication pilot have to open door and look at the gear visually, but the media with its lies makes up stories which public eat for breakfast and dinner!

[@nmartin5551]

MM - my last reading of the incident (I live nearby) was that the “jumper” more likely Fell out of the plane while trying to inspect the damaged landing gear. He was a very experienced pilot and flight instructor. He guy who was left in the plane was a student in training. I can’t say it is fact, but it is what I last heard.

[@merrymaid2890]

@@nmartin5551 That is what the newspapers speculated about. The pilot had apparently said from the beginning that Crooks jumped. Some quotes from an article written August 18 about the preliminary report: According to a preliminary report by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), before he jumped, Crooks became noticeably distressed after damaging the craft's landing gear during a failed runaway approach. The plane's pilot-in-command said that Crooks "became visibly upset about the hard landing" soon after they diverted to another airport.” About 20 minutes into the diversion to RDU, Crooks stopped communicating with air traffic controllers, the report said. He opened his side cockpit window at 3,500 feet and "may have gotten sick." Crooks then lowered the ramp in the back of the airplane, saying he felt ill and needed air, "got up from his seat, removed his headset, apologized, and departed the airplane via the aft ramp door," the report said.

@@merrymaid2890 -Wow. I didn’t see that report! What I had read about him was nothing that would hint at that. Talk about a sharp left turn in the road of life. Thanks!

[@merrymaid2890]

@@nmartin5551 Exactly. I thought that maybe it was an accident. Did not expect this sharp turn. In around 20 minutes he went from normal to full blown suicidal. One of the most surprising suicides I have ever heard of.

Thankyou Dr. Grande I had never heard about this....😇

Makes sense to me! I love your dry wit!

[@AthkielKenobi]

Here in Mexico we have various famous cases that are worth an analysis. Paulette, la Mata Viejitas, Cumbres murders in Nuevo Leon, Mijangos case and at least two canibalism cases. It would be nice if you could look into those.

Their outfit is interesting despite the tragedy that took place. I love that you drop some humour while discussing difficult topics such as loss of life.
