Columbine High School's library on the night of April 20th, 1999. At that point there were still computers running and bodies left to rot inside.

Zoomed in version of the first image. Note the broken windows, this was due to Harris exchanging gunfire with law enforcement shortly before killing himself.

I remember the day that happened, it was in the news here in the UK as it was unheard off but not long after Dunblane (the indecent where the Scottish Police fucked up an a cunt shot up a school an we lost most Handguns in the UK).

It was on non stop an overshadowed some other closer larger stories for some reason, like confirmed pictures of the Bosnian war an various war crimes happening, I felt really bad for the kids that day as I was in the same age group at the time an the parents as well fucking horrible what happend and I hate seeing those tumblrista or true crime fucks that seem to worship them.

The Italian crew of SM.75 GA RT (Or Savoia-Marchetti SM.75 Marsupiale Rome to Tokyo) with a group of Japanese military officials after a long and perilous journey. This photo would have been taken sometime between July 1st-July 16th 1942. It was the only time anyone from the European and Asian Axis powers met in person during the war.

The Pig-N-Ford Races (held at TIllamook Country Fair), first ran in 1925, are an auto racing event staged at the fair and have garnered national appeal over 100 years. The races are held in stripped Model T Fords with stock mechanicals. When the starter pistol fires, the drivers run to the opposite side of the front straight, grab a live 20-pound (9.1 kg) pig from a bin, and must then hand-crank their car and drive it one lap. They then stop, kill the engine, get a different pig, and race another lap. The first driver to complete three laps in this manner without losing their pig is the winner.

Some of the cars that first ran in 1925 are still on the track today.

Ugiuvak, which translates to "winter place" is an abandoned (in 1966) village on King Island. The island was given the English name "King Island" by Captain James Cook, the first European to sight the island, in 1778 for Lt. James King, a member of his party.
