I believe he was charged with a crime
Yeah I saw that. And I'm sure prisons over there are fricking awful. But assuming the pilot is someone with a normal level of compassion....it wouldn't surprise me in the least for him to commit suicide.

I believe the move he made was forbidden at the altitude he was flying. It was definitely terrible judgement. I've also heard their maps were wrong, they weren't expecting a crowd where it was.
Both pilots were inexperienced at some of the air show maneuvers, the pilot had asked for additional training and it was rejected.

The only good communist is a dead one.

For maybe good reason, this photo of the dead girl with her eyes stitched open is the most unsettling

Aside from our opinions about murder / assassination / suicide, Japanese people and blades are quite a combination.
I had no idea they went through so many prime ministers (many due to assassins) in the years leading up to WWII

tragedy by the sea 
quote:
On the morning of April 2, 1954, Los Angeles Times photographer John Gaunt was lounging in the front yard of his beachfront home in Hermosa Beach when he heard a neighbor shout, “Something’s happening on the beach!” Instinctively, Gaunt grabbed his Rolleiflex camera and rushed over to see a horrified couple clutching each other.
On the shore, with high, crashing surf as a backdrop, stood a young couple, Mr. and Mrs. John McDonald. As they moved forward, then back, clinging to one another, their body language told Gaunt a story that tightened his stomach. He realized that someone must be lost and he took a photograph from two-hundred feet away.
Only then did he learn that just moments before, the couple’s nineteenth-month-old son, Michael had been playing along the shoreline. The surf, suddenly aggressive, reached out and took the child from the shallows. Despite the back-and-forth efforts of the helpless parents, there was nothing to do but wait. Later in the day, the child’s body was found on the beach a mile away.
The photograph entitled “Tragedy by the Sea” appeared on the front page of The Times the next day. The image won the 1955 Pulitzer Prize for press photography; the Pulitzer committee called the photo “poignant and profoundly moving.” But for Gaunt, the image was hard to bear at first

the boston fire balcony collapse
quote:
Stanley Forman was working for the Boston Herald American on July 22, 1975, when he got a call about a fire on Marlborough Street. He raced over in time to see a woman and child on a fifth-floor fire escape. A fireman had set out to help them, and Forman figured he was shooting another routine rescue. “Suddenly the fire escape gave way,” he recalled, and Diana Bryant, 19, and her goddaughter Tiare Jones, 2, were swimming through the air. “I was shooting pictures as they were falling—then I turned away. It dawned on me what was happening, and I didn’t want to see them hit the ground. I can still remember turning around and shaking.” Bryant died from the fall, her body cushioning the blow for her goddaughter, who survived. While the event was no different from the routine tragedies that fill the local news, Forman’s picture of it was. Using a motor-drive camera, Forman was able to freeze the horrible tumbling moment down to the expression on young Tiare’s face. The photo earned Forman the Pulitzer Prize and led municipalities around the country to enact tougher fire-escape-safety codes. But its lasting legacy is as much ethical as temporal. Many readers objected to the publication of Forman’s picture, and it remains a case study in the debate over when disturbing images are worth sharing.

Just watched the Dwyer suicide. That one is one of the worst since the cameraman felt the need to zoom in and catch all the blood gushing out of his nose.

George Mallory and Sandy Irvine before attempting to summit Mt. Everest in 1924. Mallory's body was found in 1999 but Irvine's hasn't been located. It's unknown if the two men reached the summit. If they didn't, they got very close. It would be almost 30 years before Hillary and Norgay made the first official summit of Everest.

Right? I liked how they are yelling for a dr, knowing good and well, that dude was dead.
That was a shite ton of blood pouring out of his mouth.

The winecoff hotel fire downtown atlanta in 1947 is the deadliest hotel fire in American history killing 119. This lady jumped but ultimately survived. This photo won a pulitzer prize

Nope. That’s when I either get my child or die with them. I don’t stand on the beach and watch them float away.

Well, that is just terrible.

There is a podcast about the guy who killed her. Can’t remember the name but he was a serial killer. He went around the country and placed “kill kits” or whatever. He confessed to everything and in return he got the death penalty without having to wait. I think another stipulation was that his crimes wouldn’t make national headlines (I think). Pretty interesting series.

Yeah, that's what I was wondering. The dad should have been in the water looking. Seems odd.
