1. Just last month, three Thai women were rescued after being scammed into what is believed to be a human egg trafficking and harvesting ring in Georgia (the country).
One of the alleged victims spoke at a press conference and said that she had initially responded to an ad looking for surrogate mothers who would live with families and be paid a monthly fee of $742.94. She was then brought to Georgia where she said two Chinese nationals took her to a house where there were 60 to 70 other Thai women. She said, "The women there told us there were no (surrogacy) contracts or parents." She continued, "[The women] would be injected to get treatment, anesthetized, and their eggs would be extracted with a machine. After we got this information, which was not the same as the advertisement, we got scared, so we tried to contact people back home."
Reuters reported, "Thailand and Georgia said they are investigating a human trafficking ring that a Thai NGO says is engaged in harvesting human eggs of Thai women brought to the South Caucasus country."
2. A few weeks ago, an Australian couple on a Qatar Airways flight said they were "traumatized" after being "forced" to sit next to a dead body on their flight from Melbourne to Doha. It was reported that a woman died in the aisle next to them and then the crew placed her corpse, covered in blankets, next to them for the remaining four hours of their 14-hour flight. The couple says they were not offered to be moved to different seats despite there being empty seats on the flight.
According to NBC News, "Qatar Airways said that an internal review found its cabin crew had 'acted quickly, appropriately and professionally' in its handling of a deceased passenger whose body was placed next to an Australian couple for the remainder of the flight."
3. There's a skydiving center, Lodi Parachute Center, located in California, where 28 people have died since 1985. And it's impossible to know the actual fatality rate per jump because there's no record of how many people actually jump out of planes there. According to ABC10, the facility's owner, Bill Dause, he doesn't keep track of the total number of deaths, but he believes up to 18 people have died [there] since the year 2000. As an example, in 2016, an 18-year-old, Tyler Turner, and the instructor he was jumping in tandem with died in a skydiving accident after their parachutes didn't open.
Most recently, in October 2024, a skydiving instructor at the Center, Robert Pooley, was actually found guilty of fraudulently training new instructors, including the one who jumped in tandem with Tyler Turner. He was sentenced to two years in prison.
According to WBALTV, "After Pooley's certification as an instructor was suspended in 2015, he continued to train more than 100 new instructors using the digital image of the signature of another certified instructor to sign off on training courses. Pooley charged around $1,100 for each training course."
4. The tragic death of Candace Elizabeth Newmaker, a 10-year-old girl who was killed during a 70-minute attachment therapy session performed by unlicensed therapists in 2000 in Colorado. During the session, Newmaker was put through a "rebirthing" script where she was wrapped up, intended to represent being in a womb, and told to "free herself." According to ABC News, "The therapy was meant to bring Candace closer to her adoptive mother by having the girl push her way out of a blanket to simulate birth." In the session, four unlicensed "therapists" pushed down on Candace's body, making it impossible for her to move or breathe. She eventually suffocated to death.
On April 20, 2001, two unlicensed therapists, Connell Watkins and Julie Ponder, were found guilty of reckless child abuse resulting in death. They were sentenced to 16 years in prison, the minimum sentence they could have received. Later, Brita St. Clair and Jack McDaniel, who assisted Watkins and Ponder, were sentenced to probation for 10 years and 1,000 hours of community service.

5. In January, two nurses in West Virginia were charged with felony neglect after a non-verbal patient they were caring for died after being left in a "scalding hot" bath of 134-degree water for 47 minutes. The patient, Larry Hedrick, sustained second and third-degree burns and blisters on his legs and feet.
According to WDTV, "The investigation showed that Kylah Beard (one of the nurses) helped Hedrick into a tub to give him a bath and failed to check the water temperature gauge. She then left the man, who required around-the-clock care, in the water for 47 minutes."
Delilah Clayburn-Hill, a second nurse on duty, reportedly was informed of the burns and blisters but "failed to implement appropriate treatment and therapy." Hedrick was later taken to West Penn Hospital Nursing's burn trauma unit and died due to his injuries on January 12, 2024.
6. Ed Warren, one half of the paranormal investigators depicted in the The Conjuring franchise and its spinoffs (which have grossed over $1.2 billion), allegedly had a sexual relationship with a 15-year-old girl, Judith Penney, starting in the 1960s. And Ed's wife, Lorraine, allegedly condoned it.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, in a legal declaration Penney gave in November 2014 and documented recordings, "For the next 40 years, Penney said she had a sexual relationship with Ed with Lorraine's knowledge. At first, Penney stayed in a bedroom directly opposite the one occupied by the married couple, but eventually, she moved into an apartment built for her above the home. 'One night, he'd sleep downstairs. One night, he'd sleep upstairs.'" Penney also alleges that the Warrens would present her as their "niece" or a "poor girl" they'd taken in. When Penney was in her thirties, she also says she became pregnant with Ed's child, but they forced her to have an abortion and tell people that "someone" had raped her.
Penney said in a sworn declaration that she lived in the Warren's house as Ed's "lover" for over four decades. Ed died in 2006, and Lorraine Warren's attorney, Gary Barkin, reportedly said the family has no knowledge of the alleged conduct and that his client (who was 90 at the time of the Hollywood Reporter article) was in declining health and unable to respond to the allegations.
7. A couple of months ago, a zookeeper in Uzbekistan accidentally filmed his own death when he was attacked and reportedly "devoured" by three escaped lions. Apparently, he'd been trying to film a video to impress his girlfriend.
According to MSN, "The 44-year-old zookeeper, identified as F. Iriskulov, had been working the night shift at Lion Park in Parkent, Uzbekistan when he unlocked a padlock to confront the lions that had broken out from their enclosure to the courtyard at 5 a.m. Iriskulov's recording captured the moment of the attack; the initially calm lions suddenly turned aggressive. Despite trying to soothe them by repetitively calling one 'Simba' and pleading for quietness, chaos ensued as his calls turned into screams. Rescue efforts led to two lions being tranquilized, but sadly, the third had to be shot dead. His fellow zookeepers discovered Iriskulov's remains hours later."
8. In January, a fired Disney Employee pleaded guilty after being accused of hacking menus for Disney's restaurants to hide and change food allergy warnings on menus focusing on peanut, shellfish, and milk allergens, among other changes.
According to NBC 7 San Diego, Michael Scheuer changed the menus by hacking menu-creation software, and "although it is believed that 'some numbers' of the altered menus were ultimately printed, 'it is believed that all altered menus were identified and isolated prior to being shipped out" to Disney restaurants.'" Scheuer had been fired as a menu production manager last June, reportedly after "objecting to changes in the system for creating menus at the company's restaurants."
9. Earlier this year, a man in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan was "casually shoved" off the edge of a subway platform right in front of a train. The man was rescued from between stopped subway cars by first responders and taken to Bellevue Hospital, where he was reportedly in stable condition. Cameras were able to capture the incident, and less than an hour later, a suspect was in custody. You can see the horrifying footage here.
10. In 2011, an Australian woman's bungee cord snapped while jumping off a bridge over the Zambezi River in Zambia. She fell 360 feet into "fast-moving, crocodile-infested" water. Speaking with Australia's Channel 9 News, she said, "It went black straight away, and I felt like I had been slapped all over." She reportedly had to swim with her feet still tied together to get to the side of the river. Footage of the accident went viral, and you can see it here.
11. Back in 2022, a man in Texas had to be put into a coma and was given just a 4% chance of surviving all because of what is believed to have been an ingrown hair.

Steven Spinale had reportedly tried to remove an ingrown hair from his groin area. Not long after, he was hospitalized with a rare bacteria infection in his blood. The infection caused his organs to start shutting down, and he went into septic shock and eventually had to be put on life support. He was even declared brain-dead at one point.

After several months of medical treatment, including open heart surgery, intubation, and a second surgery to close the wound, Spinale woke up from his coma and miraculously began to recover. Spinale's journey was chronicled by his sister on TikTok where several of the videos went viral.

12. In 2022, a teenager in Florida, known for his "high speed" TikTok videos, killed six people while driving 151 mph. Noah Galle, who was just 17 years old at the time of the crash, was driving a BMW M5 when he "violently impacted" the back of the victims' vehicle, reportedly "forcing the back of the SUV forward several feet into the passenger compartment." Galle was known on TikTok for asking his followers to guess how fast he was driving.

In January 2025, Galle entered a plea deal to avoid his case going to trial and receive a reduced sentence. He will serve 12 years and 180 days in prison — just two years for each death.

13. In 2018, a 16-year-old named Kyle Plush was crushed to death by the third-row seat of a Honda Odyssey minivan. Plush had been reaching to get his tennis equipment when the seat collapsed on him and pinned him down. Kyle was able to make two phone calls to 911, using Siri on his iPhone, and although law enforcement arrived at the general area he was in (a school parking lot), they never found him. Reportedly, while the officers were looking for him, Kyle made his second call with more details about the vehicle he was in. However, that information was never sent to the officers on the scene.

According to Cincinnati.com, "Plush was found by his father, Ronald Plush, around 9 p.m. in a parking lot near the school in Madisonville, about six hours after his first call to 911. The family of Kyle Plush filed a wrongful death lawsuit in August 2019 in Hamilton County Commons Pleas Court after police and 911 center workers failed to rescue the teen."

14. In 2023, a custodian at an elementary school in Upper Deerfield, New Jersey, admitted to "tainting" children's food and utensils with urine, feces, and bleach. In court, he later admitted his intent was to "harm children."
NBC News / Via youtube.com
The custodian, Giovanni A. Impellizzeri, reportedly posted videos of some of the contamination acts (as well as other disturbing behavior) on a messaging app and wrote about what he'd done. From there, an anonymous tipster shared his actions with school officials, which lead to his arrest.
NBC News / Via youtube.com
According to Local 12, "While investigating, authorities discovered that Impellizzeri was in possession of child sexual abuse material, and on November 8, 2023, he was charged with one count of possession of and one count of distribution of child sexual abuse material." In January 2025, Impellizzeri admitted to the crimes and also plead guilty to possessing child sexual abuse material. He faces up to 18 years in prison.

15. In 2006, the corpse of an English woman named Joyce Carol Vincent was found in a London bedsit (kind of like a studio apartment) after she'd reportedly been dead for more than three years. Her skeleton had been found "lying on the sofa" with a small pile of Christmas presents on the floor, and the TV still on. Apparently, her remains were so badly decomposed that she could only be identified by comparing dental records with an old holiday photo of her smiling. According to The Guardian, "The coroner recorded an open verdict, with the cause of Joyce's death 'unascertained.'"

16. Back in 2002, two planes — a charter flight from Russia and a cargo jet from Bahrain — collided mid-air over Überlingen, a town in southern Germany. All 71 passengers and crew aboard both flights — 60 passengers and nine crewmembers on the passenger plane and the pilot and copilot of the cargo plane — were killed. In a surprising twist, less than two years later, in February 2004, a man named Vitaly Kaloyev, whose wife and children died in the crash, tracked down and stabbed to death the air traffic controller who was on duty at the time of the incident, Peter Nielsen.

Kaloyev was initially sentenced to eight years in prison for the murder, but in 2007, a split verdict found he "could not be held accountable for his action." He was later released from jail and returned to Russia. In 2018, Kaloyev and his new wife had twins.

17. Finally, just a few months ago, in December, a man in Utah, Jacob Holt Johnson, was pulled over for a traffic stop when law enforcement discovered his ex-girlfriend's dead body in the backseat. According to 2KUTV, "Johnson transported the victim, Summer Roney's, body in his vehicle from his home on Stone Hayes Court in Herriman to a 7-Eleven parking lot in Bluffdale. Police were contacting Johnson as part of a DUI investigation when they discovered Roney's body in the vehicle." It has not yet been made clear how Roney was killed and police continue to investigate the homicide.
