~0.6 mins read
Kevin Carter (September 13, 1960 – July 27, 1994) was a South African photojournalist and member of the Bang-Bang Club. He was the 1994 recipient of a Pulitzer Prize for his photography depicting the 1993 famine in Sudan. He took his own life at age 33.
He could no longer bear the images, the events. Some of his professional colleagues said that photojournalism killed Kevin Carter.He won the Pulitzer Prize for his work.
And then, in 1994, he took his own life. He could no longer bear the images, the events and the ridicule he received.
“Why didn't you do something?” people said.
He was doing something. He was making YOU aware of things YOU don't want to know.
Maybe you didn't know the photo above, but I'm sure the photo below, Kevin Carter's most famous work, you've seen it before.

What historical fact will they never teach you in school?
In the year 2000, during the Olympic Games in Sydney (Australia), it only took 1 week for 70,000 condoms to run out in the village where the athletes stayed.
In fact, as the years have passed, Olympic athletes have demanded that they bring even more condoms.
For example, in 2012 during the London Olympics, more than 100 thousand condoms were needed.
Inside London 2012: Olympic Village Needs More Than 100,000 Condoms
It only took one week to run out of the 70,000 condoms supplied to Olympic Village during the Sydney Olympic Games in 2000. And during the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, 100,000 condoms were ordered for the athletes, but that still was not…

If a person falls from an airplane or a high altitude place and lands on a pile of pillows, will he or she survive?
There was once a member of a bombing crew who chose to jump out of a plane rather than burn in it. He had no parachute and fell to the ground. It was winter, and he landed in the forest, his fall shattering various branches along his length as he fell to the ground. He got some injuries, but he was put in jail. There was an officer who wrote the testimony that was handed to him, the letter was convincing about how extraordinary he was able to survive his free fall.
Yes, if you have a pile of super soft pillows, you stand a chance. I won't try it, there's a good chance you'll fall in the wrong place.
If I jump out of a plane at 30,000 feet, is there a chance I could survive the fall by perfectly plunging into the ocean?
Airplane doors open inwards, because of the difference in pressure between the inside and outside, it is basically impossible to open at 30,...

What are some examples of manipulation?
When the children passed an old house on their way home from school, they were always rubbing their sticks on the balcony railing and enjoying the sound. The older owner, who had been bothered by the noise for a long time, had a really good idea instead of scolding the kids.
He called the children over to him: "Children, the noise you make sounds very nice, I'll give you a pound a day if you keep going like this." So he gave the kids a pound a day.
In the second week he called the children over again: "Children, my money is scarce, I can only give you fifty pence, not a pound."
Now three weeks had passed and the old man called the children over to him for the last time: "Children, unfortunately I have no money, so I can't give you any more." The children: "No money, no noise" and so they stopped rubbing the sticks on the balcony railing.

What were the most 'badass' moments of history?
On October 14, 1912, Theodore Roosevelt was planning on giving a speech.
He started by saying, “Friends, I shall ask you to be as quiet as possible.”
He was then shot.
“I don’t know whether you fully understand that I have just been shot,” Roosevelt continues.
Much to the crowd’s shock, Roosevelt unbuttons his bloodstained shirt.
“It takes more than that to kill a bull moose,” Roosevelt assures the crowd.
Roosevelt takes his speech papers out of his coat pocket. There was a bullet hole straight through all fifty pages. The papers had saved his life.
Luckily for his speech, Roosevelt had a self-claimed photographic memory. He went on to give a ninety minute speech even though his aides insisted that he go to a hospital. Only with the speech completed did he agree to visit the hospital.
He was fifty-three at the
