Today in History: Shocking photo of Joan Wills

This shocking picture shows Joan Wills screaming as she comes within range of a zone in the water electrified by the "Neptune's Fork' held by Henry T. Burkey in Hollywood, Calif., where he lives, Aug. 22, 1952.

Burkey, an electrical engineer, designed the gadget for use by victims of shipwrecks of air crashes over shark-infested waters. The device consists of two electrodes connected to batteries in the waterproof handle. The electrodes create an electrified zone in the water to repel attacking fish. He says the device is shockproof to the user.

Electric shock drowning is a term used in the US to describe a cause of death that occurs when swimmers are exposed to electric currents in the water. In some cases the shock itself is fatal, since the person will suffocate when their diaphragm is paralyzed, while in others it incapacitates the swimmer causing them to drown. The main cause of electric shock drownings is faulty electrical wiring on boats or piers that causes electric current to leak into the water. Electric shock drownings occur most often in fresh water, which is conductive due to dissolved minerals and impurities. The increased conductivity of saltwater reduces the fraction of the electric current that flows through a submerged person, whose body has a much smaller conductivity than the saltwater. In this case, the current to cause electric shock drowning would be so great that current-limiting circuit breakers would trip and shut off the current, thereby protecting against electric shock drowning in saltwater.

Sometimes Electric Shock Drowning is referred to as ESD but this should not be used, as it can be confused with the IEC defined term for Electrostatic discharge (ESD). For some reason, the accident type is prevalent only in the USA

There is no visible warning to electrified water. Swimmers will be able to feel the electricity if the current is substantial. If the swimmers notice any unusual tingling feeling or symptoms of electrical shock, it is highly likely that stray currents exist and everyone needs to get out. Swimmers should always swim away from the suspected current source. In most cases this means swimming away from piers and boats and toward another safer portion of the shoreline.

Once the victim is safely on shore, first aid may be needed. Treatment depends on the specifics of each case, but is likely some combination of the treatments for electrocution and drowning individually. Even if the victim seems well, examination by healthcare professional is recommended as latent effects from the electricity may be undetected.

The Twisted Saga Of Michael Peterson, Kathleen Peterson, And The Real Story Behind ‘The Staircase’

The Twisted Saga Of Michael Peterson, Kathleen Peterson, And The Real Story Behind ‘The Staircase’ In 2003, Michael Peterson was convicted of killing his wife Kathleen by beating her with a fire poker and throwing her down their back staircase — despite the police never finding the murder weapon nor any evidence of a concrete motive. But investigators soon learned that the Petersons were deep in debt and that Michael was unhappy with the way his work as a writer had stalled while his wife's career as a business executive had soared. And when prosecutors learned that Michael had exchanged emails with a male sex worker, they argued that Kathleen must have discovered the messages and confronted him about it, causing him to fly into a fit of rage, beat her about the back of the head, and leave her to die at the bottom of the stairs. But six years after Michael's conviction, a shocking new analysis showed that Kathleen Peterson had traces of feathers, wood, and cedar needle...

It was known that some of his friends came to his flat just the night before his death.

He went out two hours ago before he died , he even talked with few people and they said he was in a very joyful mood at that time and he said " it's too hot out today isn't it" Even the forensic reports said that in the entire bedsheet which he used police didn't find any finger print except left-handed thumb , index and little finger but Susant was not lefty .So it is not possible to commit suicide by using only his left hand.

Snowboarder's disappearance shrouds Mount Everest

Snowboarder's disappearance shrouds Mount Everest This is the last photo ever taken of Marco Siffredi — just before he died attempting to snowboard down Mount Everest. On September 8, 2002, the French daredevil reached the 29,000-foot summit of Earth's highest point. Though critically exhausted from the climb and the high altitude, Siffredi stood with his board perched over the precipice and decided to forge ahead with his plan. He strapped on a fresh oxygen tank, bid his Sherpa adieu, and began his descent — never to be seen again. Marco Siffredi (22 May 1979 – 8 September 2002) was a French snowboarder and mountaineer who hailed from a climbing family; his father was a mountain guide, and his older brother Pierre had died in an avalanche in their hometown of Chamonix, France.[1] Siffredi was the first to descend Mount Everest on a snowboard, completing this feat in 2001 via the Norton Couloir.[2][3] In 2002, he disappeared after making his second Everest summit, while atte...

Reasons Why Older Men Date Younger Women

As a man that is in a relationship with a younger woman (as distinct from girl), l can probably say the following with some confidence and in no particular order: older women tend to be set in their ways older women tend to be less interested in sex older women are usually more autonomous and self reliant, which is a good thing as well as being more experienced when it come to accepting differences younger women have less life experiences and are generally more idealistic which plays to being less accommodating or accepting older men can see through certain behaviours to the resulting consequences with greater ease due to their own experiences and can thus, if they’re grown up enough, chose how to respond. This could piss some younger women off of course. it takes a particular type of younger woman, in terms of her emotional and intellectual maturity, to have a relationship of any consequence with an older chap. Some younger woman just prefer to be with someone that is more stable the ...

In the heart of Ethiopia is situated one of its holiest towns, known as Lalibela

In the heart of Ethiopia is situated one of its holiest towns, known as Lalibela, where a group of eleven monolithic rock-hewn churches stand. They are the biggest monolithic temples in the world, and listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, yet much mystery still surrounds their construction. The age of these buildings is unknown, but legends mention that they were excavated during the reign of Gebre Mesqel Lalibela , who ruled Ethiopia at the beginning of the 13th century AD. Legends also claim that the churches were built in 24 years. Even today, accomplishing this work using carbon steel tipped chisels and diamond blades would be remarkable. There are also many other peculiarities about its construction, such as the fact that the massive amount of stone and earth that would have had to be removed from around the churches and from their hollowed out interiors, was nowhere to be found.

Victim’s daughter persuaded serial killer to admit slaying 5 other women

Victim’s daughter persuaded serial killer to admit slaying 5 other women Serial killer Richard Cottingham is talking. My grandma was a serial killer’s victim. Richard Cottingham claimed responsible for two more Rockland deaths, adding to his total close to 100 The 75-year-old, who claims he is responsible for close to 100 killings and became known as the "Torso Killer" and the "Times Square Killer" for mainly targeting prostitutes, is talking to victims' families and an author who specializes in serial killers about how he murdered additional women, including at least two in Rockland. Lorraine McGraw, a 26-year-old mother, was killed by Cottingham in 1970, prosecutors say. McGraw's granddaughter, Sonia Ruiz McGraw of Queens, said Cottingham had promised to detail her grandmother's death and how he knew her. But Rockland law enforcement officials say facts do not support his other claim. Goodarzi was found dead alongside another unidentified ...

KIM KARDASHIAN BEFORE & AFTER PLASTIC SURGERY (PHOTOS)

KIM KARDASHIAN BEFORE & AFTER PLASTIC SURGERY (PHOTOS) Kim Kardashian has always been rumored to have had work done on her face and body, something she has always denied, but then again she denied having a s*x tape years ago, and we all know how that turned out. The photos below show some very noticeable differences in her face compared to what she looked like in 2006, or even what she looked like just a year ago. The 32 year-old E! star, who is pregnant with boyfriend Kanye West's baby, reportedly a girl, looks to have had some cheek implants, face injections, a nose job, and perhaps some botox or facelift. No telling on what she has done to the rest of her body. Born on October 21, 1980, Kim, on the surface at least, seems like one of those celebrities who is famous just for the media frenzy surrounding her mother, her stepfather and of course her sisters. Kim Kardashian along with her sisters Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian are the daughters of the late Robert Kardashian. Her...

Florida's Messiest Execution

Florida's Messiest Execution On July 8, 1999, the execution of Allen Lee Davis set off a shock wave that rippled around the world. During his time in the electric chair, Davis bled profusely from the nose and suffered burns to his head, leg, and groin area. As the switch was thrown, the “Tiny” Davis, who was executed for the May 11, 1982, murder of Nancy Weiler and her two daughters, reared back against the restraints, giving witnesses a chilling glimpse under a black hood designed to hide the faces of the condemned. Blood poured from his vivid purple nose, ran down the wide leather strap that covered his mouth and soaked the white shirt. After the power was turned off, Davis was still alive. Witnesses said his chest rose and fell about 10 times before he went still. After the execution, state prison officials and Governor Jeb Bush said the Old Sparky functioned properly. Three photos of the incident have been published on Florida’s High Court official website in an attempt to argu...
