When I saw the first photo if the jaw off, on the thumbnail, I thought maybe it was Radium since several of the Radium Girls or whatever had their jaws fall off after using Radium (which glowed in the dark cuz of its radiation) to paint clocks so they would glow in the dark and be easy to read at night.

That's exactly what happened to the "Radium Girls" During World War I. Women were hired to paint the hands of Aviation watches with a glowing paint that made it possible to read the time in low light conditions. To make a better point on the paint brush, the girls would lick the tip of the bristles to make a cleaner, sharper paint line. So the watches looked better. The Radium paint was so radioactive, The woman's jaws, and teeth just rotted away and fell off. The biggest tragedy of all, was the company blamed the woman for being "sickly and weak". And denied the paint was responsible for the horrific cancer the woman were exposed too... Many of these workers died a horrible, painful death as a result of this unbelievable negligence...

I am a trainee driver and we get specific training for situations like the man on the track. We are taught once we have applied the emergency break to constantly sound the horn until after impact. The reason why is to stop us train drivers from hearing the sound of the person hitting the train. We also taught not to look at the person. Apparently the sound of the train hitting the body and the look on their face just before impact can haunt you for years. PTSD is huge problem for train drivers world wide due to rail assisted suicide or person under train incidents. I can’t describe the type of trauma a train bogie causes to the human body. It certainly not the way I wish to exit this world. Please be safe around trains. We can’t stop these machines quickly and I don’t want to wake up in cold sweats remembering your face.

Oh when a train car hits someone or something it disentigrates. That is not a joke. And the bogies will probably shred whatever was left and went under the train itself. It will not be a pretty sight since a train would be equivalent to say a single stick of dynamite was stuck to your body and you know the rest.

@Byvenic 2 года назад

When I was a child we had stopped in our car at a train crossing. We were one of the front cars, closest to the track and as the train was about to go past my mother frowned and said something about someone on the track. I turned to look in time to see the train run this person down. To this day I vividly remember a dark green jumper and floral skirt, just visible under the train. The woman didn't die immediately, we heard afterwards she died in hospital from her injuries. Turns out the train driver had seen her and hit the emergency breaks but the train couldn't stop in time. As a child I was more excited by the event than scared, I was a bit to young to really understand or even care about someone elses death, but my sister a bit over a year older was very freaked out by it. I only really remember that one scene and feeling a little uneasy about the situation but to this day I still wonder about the poor driver that had to deal with being used as a means of suicide. I understand mental illness, peoples minds can do horrible things to them and make them not care about anyone or anything but dying, but even when I myself was suicidal I couldn't imagine involving other people in my death so traumatically. I actually had a real problem trying to figure out how I could kill myself with the least amount of impact on others. I contemplated going into the forest and doing the deed there but the idea of my family never knowing what happened to me or finding my dead body was enough for me to decide to try other less lethal options. I ended up voluntarily being hospitalised instead of causing such trauma and pain to those that may had to deal with the aftermath of my death. I don't know for sure but I think seeing that woman be run down when I was so young taught me that anyone involved in dealing with the suicide of someone, from the police to the hapless bystanders, was in a way a victim who could be permanently traumatised by my actions. Mental illness isn't exactly prone to rational decisions so I can never truly condemn someone who takes that route but personally I struggled a lot with the idea of other people cleaning up the mess that my death may cause. I wasn't going to be the person that traumatised a van full of young children and everyone else in between.

Fun fact: The guillotine was invented to try to make executions more humane since its creator hated the brutality of executions. In fact he hated executions so much, he did not want his name attached to his own invention. However, unfortunately for him, we still call it a guillotine.

@dariusmcfarter6105 2 года назад

it is more humane than some execution devices we use today. the electric chair is definitely a bit inhumane because you’re pretty much being electrocuted to death which i bet is painful.

@venusflytrap2622 2 года назад

Sidenote to that, the inventor was executed by his own invention as the revolutionaries thought he was pro bourgeoisie and pro monarchist. Iirc the Guillotine made executions so easy that during the height of the french revolution there were several hundred if not thousands of executions a day in France.

@elizabethserrano5136 2 года назад

Funny how he thought it'd be more "humane", when in actuality is probably just as bad because a severed head has the ability to remain conscious for about 25 - 30 seconds. Here's a quick excerpt from a guillotine observation made by a doctor back in 1905. "In 1905, a French physician attended an execution and stood close to the guillotine. He approached as soon as the severed head tumbled into the basket below and called out the man’s name. He claimed the eyelids lifted and the man looked briefly at him before lowering his gaze. The physician called his name again and received a similar response. The man did not respond to a third prompt. The physician concluded based on his observations that a severed head could retain consciousness for 25 to 30 seconds." THAT is truly terrifying! And there are other similar observations that have been made. Yikes 😬

My grandmother told me that when she was a young nurse (around 1918-1920), the hospital where she worked was losing staff to illness. Turns out it was the X-ray machine (she called it a ‘fluoroscope’) and the techs and nurses would basically stand right next to the patient being xray’d (no shielding of any kind). Not a ton of radiation for one Xray, but if youre doing 50 a day, it adds up. She also said they used special methods to handle radium-affected patients because handling them too often was dangerous. Didn’t seem to affect her though as she died in 1997 at the age of 102.

Christopher Lee's resume is just.. unparalleled. He was related to both Emperor Charlemagne, General Robert E. Lee, Ian Fleming (creator of James Bond). He met the assassins of Rasputin. He was an Intelligence agent in the British SAS in WWII, then promoted to the SOE whose missions are *still* classified - they were unofficially called "The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare." He saw more death than normal people can comprehend. He climbed Mt Vesuvius 3 days before it erupted. He spoke six languages. After all that he decided to start acting. AT AGE 25. He has played Dracula, the Mummy, Frankenstein’s monster, Saruman (the only cast member to meet Tolkien), Count Dooku, Fu Manchu, Rasputin, Rochefort, Lord Summerisle, Scaramanga, Mephistopheles, and Death himself - *and those are just some of the villans* In 2007 he was in Guinness for most screen credits at 244, and has since mad well more than a dozen more - in 2008 he was "the most connected actor" connecting to virtually any actor in 2.59 steps or "degrees". The king of fucking Sweden gave him his blessing to marry Henriette von Rosen, daughter of Count Fritz von Rosen, in the 50s. He released his *own metal album* in 2010 titled Titled Charlemagne: By the Sword and the Cross He was made a Knight Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire in 2009, a Commander of the Venerable Order of Saint John in 1997, made a Commander of the Order of Arts and Letters by the French government in 2011 - and a *list* of other awards, medals, and titles.

It was also found in paint, gasoline, and the manufacture of toys. Chemistry sets used to contain real uranium. Of course you know that asbestos was used all kinds of things. It wasn't all that long ago that it was used for brake linings and clutches in automobile. It was used for thermal insulation in houses, in ovens, for electrical insulation in wires and appliances, and so on. DDT was used for pest control. That shit will f__k a person up with a quickness. It's tempting to believe that the manufacturers of these products just 'didn't know'.

And yet the clock and watch industry continued to use radium in the paint on the faces because it could glow in the dark. The women who painted the clock and watch faces also died horrible deaths because they’d lick their paintbrushes into a fine point. There are several videos documenting the horror of the fate of the Radium Girls. It wasn’t until the manufacturers were sued by their surviving spouses and families that the practice was stopped although the manufacturers tried to blame everything on the women and not the blatantly dangerous business practices and working conditions.

I like that the storyteller, in this video, doesn't give the impression of being obsessed with convincing the listeners that the story is definitely true. He simply tells the stories, with an admirable, articulate, non-bias demeanor. Usually, with these abnormal/paranormal type videos, you have a host that comes off as just another extreme fanatic, (of whatever the topic is), that ends up overselling what they consider "facts", in what seems to be, a kind of desperate attempt to convince people to share their belief/opinion, hoping they agree. I don't like it when hosts do that because it kind of makes me question whether I'm making my own decision to believe, (whatever story is topic) , or am I definitely NOT believing( something possibly true) just because I don't want to be on the side that of the overexcited host, who has turned it into something absurd. So, kudos to this guy who literally keeps it real. It's nice, for a change. Keep it up man. I like your style and I will stay tuned because of it.

65 years old and I still absolutely love having someone tell me stories. When I had reached the age of 9 or 10 my parents found me reading a copy of Frank Edwards book, Stranger Than Science and felt I was becoming way too fond of stories that were strange, dark and mysterious. I had to wait so very, very long for Mr Ballen to arrive and make my life complete by telling me wonderful stories of my favorite kind. Thank you Sir, for your service to our country and for being an amazing storyteller.

One of the best books I have ever read is The Radium Girls by Kate Moore. Dozens of young girls were excited to have jobs in a well-paying factory, painting numbers on dials for wristwatches and navigation instruments. They were taught to dip their paintbrushes in radium and then make the brush into a point with their mouths. They loved the way the radium glowed- they would even wear their best dresses to work on Fridays so they would glow that night when they went out on the town. They painted each other’s faces with it and stood in dark rooms, dancing around, having a great time. Only one time did someone warn them. A scientist-developer of radium once saw the girls putting the brushes in their mouths and said, “don’t do that!” Otherwise, they were told it was completely safe. The book is so detailed, it is heartbreaking to read of these girls’ horrible, painful deaths and their fight for justice. I couldn’t recommend it any more highly. It was a fascinating tale of greed and innocence lost.

I came here to say my dad had Stage IV head and neck cancer twice, and his surgeons did two mandiblectomies (plus chemo and rads) as his treatment. People still remove jawbones, but these days they graft it back with bones from your leg, or your shoulder blade, or with a chain. Cancer sucks, guys. If you chew snuff, quit.

@@corpseisking5392 Its the Leftists who have deliberately inserted politics (or rather, politicized bigotry) into everything through neo-Marxist Critical Theory, which is precisely what it was designed to accomplish. As for this case, his being rich and (actually) privileged, economic class resentment (i.e. classical Marxism) seems a likely explanation.
