USS San Francisco after hitting a sea mountain at flank speed. Remarkably only one sailor was killed. She was repaired and is back in commission.

A very good friend and co-worker was a Caribou pilot in Vietnam.
He was in the pattern just behind this aircraft and watched the whole thing happen.
He said the aircraft dropped like a stone after it got hit by the artillery shell.

Pale Blue Dot is a photograph of planet Earth taken on February 14, 1990, by the Voyager 1 space probe from a record distance of about 6 billion kilometers (3.7 billion miles, 40.5 AU), as part of that day's Family Portrait series of images of the Solar System.
In the photograph, Earth's apparent size is less than a pixel; the planet appears as a tiny dot against the vastness of space, among bands of sunlight reflected by the camera.
Voyager 1, which had completed its primary mission and was leaving the Solar System, was commanded by NASA to turn its camera around and take one last photograph of Earth across a great expanse of space, at the request of astronomer and author Carl Sagan.

Cameras captured much of the evidence needed for advancement in science at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries.  Excellent cameras and film were available in the 1940's.

Rear axel of semi truck trailer came off and skipped down the interstate striking this poor lady's car in oncoming traffic. She was air lifted and almost died. Trucker kept driving and said he did not know it had happened. Think he was arrested.

I have never heard of a magnesium engine block in a pickup truck.  I think Ford used magnesium for radiator supports.  Pretty impressive fire if just the supports flared up like that.

we destroyed it because we did not want iraq to be using them.

The Nine Sovereigns at Windsor for the funeral of King Edward VII, photographed on 20 May 1910.


Standing, from left to right: King Haakon VII of Norway, Tsar Ferdinand of the Bulgarians, King Manuel II of Portugal and the Algarve, Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany and Prussia, King George I of the Hellenes and King Albert I of the Belgians.

Seated, from left to right: King Alfonso XIII of Spain, King George V of the United Kingdom and King Frederick VIII of Denmark.

There are several family relations in that picture. For instance, Frederik VIII of Denmark (bottom right) was the father of Haakon VII of Norway (top left), while Wilhelm II of Germany (top, 3rd from the right) was first cousin of both George V of the United Kingdom (bottom center), and Queen Maud of Norway who was wife to Haakon VII of Norway and sister to George V of the United Kingdom – which made Haakon VII of Norway and George V of the United Kingdom brothers-in-law. George V of the United Kingdom’s and Queen Maud of Norway’s mother was incidentally Alexandra of Denmark, sister to Frederik VIII of Denmark. This means that Frederik VIII of Denmark was also the uncle of George V of the United Kingdom. George was a grandson of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert and the first cousin of Tsar Nicholas II of Russia and Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany

A very joyous picture for sure.
I remember that day well. Mrs. Powderfinger and I were in a J.C. Penney store shopping for a couch.
Several dozen people (us too) were crowded around the display TVs watching as she was finally saved. We cheered.

ETA: just googled Baby Jessica. She was rescued on my wife's birthday. The couch must have been a birthday gift.

The Japanese representative signing the instrument of surrender aboard the battleship Missouri on September 2, 1945, thus formally bringing World War II to an end, the European Theater conflict having come to an end in the weeks prior.

Interestingly, in legal terms, WWII was still in effect until 1950 in Europe.  No fighting was going on then, but a state of war was still technically in effect.

One of my friends was on the last plane of civilians flown out, she said they had no seating to make room for more people, the mothers set in a circle with the kids in the middle.  Her father was high up in the RVN government, they didn't know for months if he was alive.  Another friend's father worked for the CIA, she remembers being in a small boat fleeing Saigon as it fell.
