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.

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.

Pablo Escobar’s abandoned ‘La Manuela’ mansion in Colombia, named after his daughter. In 1993, the estate was targeted in a bombing orchestrated by Los Pepes, a vigilante group whose acronym stood for ‘Perseguidos por Pablo Escobar’ (People Persecuted by Pablo Escobar). Los Pepes was reportedly supported by Escobar’s rival, the Cali Cartel, as well as other individuals who opposed Escobar. During the attack, 200kg of TNT was placed inside a bathroom at La Manuela. The detonation destroyed much of the house, and eight months later, Escobar was killed by Colombian National Police.
