In 2006, Ryan Waller, who was then 18, was shot in the head during a home invasion in Phoenix. His girlfriend, Heather Quan, was tragically killed. After the attack, the authorities mistakenly treated Ryan as a suspect rather than a victim. Despite a bullet wound, Ryan endured a lengthy interrogation by the police without receiving medical attention. His health deteriorated over the years, and in 2016, a decade later, he died of a seizure, a consequence of the injuries he sustained.

Royal experts say both King Charles and Princess Diana were deeply emotional the night before their 1981 wedding. According to broadcaster Ian Pelham Turner, Charles cried because he still had feelings for his former girlfriend, Camilla, and even wore cufflinks with her initials during the ceremony. Diana, meanwhile, was hesitant about marrying Charles but was told by her sister that it was far too late to back out. Turner claims Diana had “cold feet,” only to learn the wedding was already a global event, complete with souvenirs printed with her and Charles’s faces. PEOPLE later highlighted similar accounts from Sally Bedell Smith’s biography of Charles, which describes him as feeling pressured into the marriage and torn between Diana and Camilla. Charles and Diana eventually divorced in 1996. Nearly a decade later, in 2005, Charles married Camilla, now Queen Consort. The most haunting photos from history:

Michael Jackson and Princess Diana met in 1988 at Wembley Stadium in London, where Jackson was performing on his Bad World Tour. The singer presented her with a charity donation as well as some tour jackets for the princes, William and Harry. Princess Diana was reportedly disappointed when Jackson told her that, out of respect, he would not be performing one of her favorite songs, 'Dirty Diana', despite the song not being about her!

Around 30 people perished from immediate blast trauma and acute radiation syndrome (ARS) in the seconds to months following the Chernobyl disaster in April 1986. Eight months after the nuclear accident, workers made a startling discovery. Upon entering a corridor beneath the damaged No. 4 reactor, they found a black, lava-like substance flowing from the reactor core, resembling a man-made volcano. Among these hardened masses, one stood out and was nicknamed "Elephant's Foot" due to its resemblance to the foot of a large mammal. The Elephant's Foot is a solid mass of melted nuclear fuel mixed with concrete, sand, and core sealing material. At the time of its discovery, the Elephant's Foot was emitting approximately 8,000 to 10,000 roentgens, or 80 to 100 grays, per hour, delivering a lethal dose of radiation (4.5 grays) within just five minutes.
