The Stanford Prison Experiment makes me think about how power does give people more sociopathic tendencies!
Should I be surprised by the fact that the radium girls story makes the list but nothing of the Tuskegee syphilis experiments.
Using a shot from Trainspotting for “infant mortality was high” is crazy work
🙏
What's all this talk of "Justice" when this list is mostly of individuals being punished? Corporate criminals, Dictators and politicians drunk on power walk away every time. They buy their freedom while punishing US FOR THEIR SINS.
This is why I don't watch horror films any more, in my experience real life is far more horrific than anything dreamt of!
that pet killing/releasing into the country side was defo a UK thing (maybe else where) but over in East Europe, granny tells a different tale.
For the chemical warfare… play call off dudy black opps… the first one…. CHILLING
Number 7… Really? 🙄🤦♀️ That should have been the lowest on the creepy level….
Hey y'all 😮
10:31 Religious nutcase for ya
#9 was by far the most troubling one for me on the whole list. I feel as tho I might be a sociopath bc the idea of war between mankind and the killing and/or torture of any human beings is much more tolerable to me than that of any single animal being maimed, injured and/or killed.
A few others (out of the countless examples that can be referenced in human history; no particular order):
1. Darien Gap Incident
2. Dyatlov Pass Incident
3. Khmer Rouge (Warning: extra disturing story)
4. Houtman Abrolhos Tragedy
5. Murdered Albert Fish (Warning: extra disturing story)
6. The Black War of Tasmania (Warning: extra disturing story)
7. Siege of Masada
8. Nazino Island incident (Warning: extra disturing story)
9. The execution of Balthasar Gérard (Warning: extra disturing story)
10. Melification (aka. "honey mummy") and the use of Mummia as a medicine
*Obviously, there are numerous examples from the geopoltical events and conflicts around the world, but I wrote this list to highlight some of the lesser known ones.
No Honarable Mention for H.H. Holmes???
I did my university honors thesis on Chernobyl for my Russian history degree. The HBO show was pretty accurate other than that radiation poisoning is WAY worse than it’s portrayed.
How about the holocaust? Wasn't that a horrific event?
I believe Naples is pronounced Napoly or Napoli
DOLORES DELLA PENNA!!!!! THE STUFF NIGHTMARES ARE MADE OF!!!!
The kraken got them
If you look at a group picture of the people from the Uruguayan plane incident.. YOU WILL SEE A HUMAN VERTABRAE.
But I found a video from Junko’s funeral and her friends speech made me cry. I mean I read the speech but hearing it and the pain in her voice breaks my heart
The astronaut was hearing the metal getting cold and hot
I think the most horrific thing in this programme is the number of advertisements you think is justifiable in 30 minutes.
Communism taking over countries have killed the most people in history. It’s well over a billion
Morbidly, this should have multiple editions.
11:55 Nutty Putty….1)why at his height.
2) a horror i can't explain- im not extremely claustrophobic but that 😢
Thank you for the King Tut Steve Martin bit. That still makes me laugh so hard!
With all due respect, how the hell did the pets get this far up the list with all the HUMAN atrocities being discussed? Cannibalism to survive to pets. High 20s okay but top 10?!!?
But the plane crash I mean, you do what you have to do to survive. I’m sure that under any other circumstances they would not have eaten their fellow comrades. We cannot judge unless we have been in their shoes.
Radium Girls has a statue in Ottawa IL. Very sad hearing about this again. There's a plaque on the statue in memory of all them that died. One of the many reasons we have labor laws today.
Pretty white washed list… the Khmer Rouge killed between 1.2 and 2.8 million Cambodian people, the Vietnam war killed 1,353,000 people collectively, the Taliban rule in Afghanistan, Syrian civil war is ongoing and half a million people are already dead, the Rwandan genocide, residential schools, Khan raping and murdering his way through most of the known world at the time, Japanese enternment camps on US soil, SEVERAL HUNDRED YEARS OF SLAVERY?! THE FUCKING HOLOCAUST?! Nope, just throw in a couple cases from the entire continents of both Asia and Africa to seem “woke”… right? Honestly what the hell? What shitfucked AI are you using to generate these scripts? Or maybe watchmojo should diversify their staff because this is basically a list of white people eating other white people to survive, and single deaths of (you guessed it) white figures in history.
The series Chernobyl demonstrates how the disaster mysteriously transformed all the Russians into Brits
Doctor Who solved the mystery of The Mari Celeste. It was daleks.
With the Lighthouse, the light was reported out by a passing ship and investigators were sent out to find out why. There was no replacement keeper. They also found doors locked from the inside, and clocks stopped. Officials said "they were swept out to sea", the investigator said he disagreed but had no idea what had happened.
What movie was that for #3
