28. She was kept in a dungeon

A woman was locked in a room for 24 years. This is the picture that was taken the day she was rescued.

29. Alexander Supertramp

The top photo is Chris McCandless’ final self taken photo after venturing into the Alaskan wilderness. He’s the inspiration for the film Into the Wild. I believe it’s actually him trying to say goodbye. Soon after this photo was taken he was found dead in an abandoned camper. He starved to death. His skeletal appearance and crazed grin gave me nightmares for days.

30. 9/11 image

The famous “Falling Man” image from the 9/11 attacks.

31. Heaven’s Gate

A post-mass-suicide photo from the Heaven’s Gate group in 1997. They thought by committing mass suicide, they could get aboard an alien spaceship following the Hale-Bopp comet. They’re all wearing the same thing, including a specific model of Nike athletic shoes.

Not the only photograph from the aftermath, but I remember seeing it 17 years ago and it still gives me chills to think that more than thirty people could be so convinced that nonsense was real that they offed themselves for it.

32. Suicide jumper

This photograph is of a woman moments before she hits the ground after jumping from the ledge of the Genesee Hotel in 1942.

33. Vladimir Komarov, Cosmonaut

Vladimir Komarov’s funeral. (You might not have been expecting this picture – semi NSFW)

Russia was going to send a guy into space knowing that the ship had over 200 structural instabilities. It was a total suicide mission and everyone knew it, including Komarov. Now, I don’t know all of the in between details, but for whatever reasons it boiled down to either Komarov had to go, or his friend Yuri Gagarin (first guy in space ever) was the 2nd in line and would die in his place. Vladimir Komarov goes, the ship fails, and he screams the whole way down cursing everyone who sent him up there. I’m too lazy to find the source, but I’ve read that he asked for an open casket so that people couldn’t deny what a horrible thing had been done to him.

34. Atomic bombs

After Hiroshima, there were shadow outlines of people who had been alive, but had died and disintegrated instantly in the blast. I find it creepy because 1) This was entirely man made and 2) In that instant, life was simply erased. Gone.

This picture of 14-year-old Regina Kay Walters was taken by serial killer Robert Ben Rhoades, who toured the country in an 18-wheeler equipped with a torture chamber in the back. This photo was taken in an abandoned Illinois barn, where Rhoades killed Walters after cutting off her hair and making her wear a black dress and heels.
