Unusual deaths: Man killed by flying fire hydrant

Good point.


1930: William Kogut, an inmate on death row at San Quentin, committed Self Delete with a pipe bomb created from several packs of playing cards and the hollow leg from his cot. At the time, the red ink in playing cards contained flammable nitrocellulose, which when wet can create an explosive mixture. Kogut used the heater in his cell to activate the bomb.

Holy stuff.

he's pretty clever.

2001: Bernd-Jürgen Brandes, from Germany, was voluntarily stabbed repeatedly and then partly eaten by Armin Meiwes (who was later called the Cannibal of Rotenburg). Brandes had answered an internet advertisement by Meiwes looking for someone for this purpose. Brandes explicitly stated in his will that he wished to be killed and eaten.

"Partly Eaten" was his snake...

2009: Vladimir Likhonos, a Ukrainian student, died after accidentally dipping a piece of homemade chewing gum into explosives he was using on another project. He mistook the jar of explosive for citric acid, which was also on his desk. The gum exploded, blowing off his jaw and most of the lower part of his face.



MY GOD
IT WAS TRUE

I believe there is an ED page on him, if you go to it theres a screencap of the chat along with his webcam of him dead.

One chatter said: 'loving do it, get on with it, get it round your neck. For forget's sake he can't even do this properly'.

wow.

1987: Budd Dwyer, the State Treasurer of Pennsylvania, committed Self Delete during a televised press conference in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Facing a potential 55-year jail sentence for alleged involvement in a conspiracy, Dwyer shot himself in the head with a revolver.

There's a video of it on the web somewhere. That is some forgeted up stuff.
