ITT: Late night wiki browsing

1919: The Great Molasses Flood, also known as the Boston Molasses Disaster or the Great Boston Molasses Flood, occurred in the North End neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts when a large molasses storage tank burst, and a wave of molasses rushed through the streets at an estimated 35 mph (56 km/h), killing 21 people and injuring an additional 150. The event has entered local folklore, and for decades afterward residents claimed that on hot summer days the area still smelled of molasses.

WTF? That's like out of a cartoon.

1982: David Grundman was killed near Lake Pleasant, Arizona, U.S., while shooting at cacti with his shotgun. After he fired several shots at a 26 ft (8 m) tall Saguaro Cactus from extremely close range, a 4 ft (1.2 m) limb of the cactus detached and fell on him, crushing him.

Cactus justice.

1983: Truls Hellevik, a diver undergoing decompression aboard the oil rig Byford Dolphin, was accidentally exposed to an eight-atmosphere change in air pressure. The resultant pressure wave caused him to be forced through a partly opened door, bisecting his body; leading to instantaneous massive expansion of his internal bodily gasses, causing him to explode into many small parts which rained down upon the rig. Official investigation of the incident led to changes in some diving-bell resurfacing procedures.

Yikes.

1995: Russell Phillips, a driver in the NASCAR Sportsman Division, crashed during a 100-mile race at Charlotte Motor Speedway on October 6, 1995. His vehicle was forced onto its right side, and the roof pressed along the catch fence separating the track from the stands. The cabin of the vehicle, and Phillips' body inside it, were grated away, resulting in dismembered body parts and metal debris littering the track. The race was completed after a lengthy red flag to clean up, but the incident brought about the end of the Sportsman Division the next year.

Double yikes.

2001: Bernd Brandes, a Berlin engineer, was willingly slaughtered so that he could be butchered and eaten by aspiring cannibal Armin Meiwes. Brandes had responded to an internet advertisement which Meiwes had placed for this purpose.

The details of this case are even more bizarre. And disgusting. Why would either party do this is beyond my comprehension.

2001: Peter Robinson, a New Zealander, 28, from Reefton, Buller District, West Coast, South Island, died after he fell on ice and drowned in his cat's water bowl.

*rubs temples* Sigh... it couldn't get wor-

2005: Kenneth Pinyan died from injuries caused by anal sex with a stallion.

Sonuva...

Yes, I agree. Not here to mock people who have died. Rather the circumstances themselves are interesting.

Personally I find stories like these fascinating. Not sure why.

455 BC: Aeschylus, the Athenian author of tragedies. According to Valerius Maximus, he was killed by a tortoise dropped by an eagle that had mistaken his bald head for a rock suitable for shattering the shell of the reptile. Pliny, in his Naturalis Historiæ, adds that Aeschylus had been staying outdoors to avert a prophecy that he would be killed by a falling object

I first learned about this story by stumbling upon the movie Grimm Love, which is a fictionalized telling of this story. The guy actually sued or something like that and got the movie banned in Germany for infringing upon his likeness rights or something. I think it was eventually overturned though.
