There was a soldier who was caught in a gas attack. He watched as his friends started coughing up blood and choking. He managed to put on his gas mask in time but was then separated from his unit. As he wandered through the trenches, he came across a dying comrade who was begging for help but he couldn't do much. He was haunted by that moment for the rest of his life.
A soldier named Mike was part of a patrol that got lost in the jungle. Instead of panicking, he used his knowledge of the stars and the terrain to lead his comrades back to safety. Along the way, they also managed to avoid several enemy ambushes. His calmness and leadership in that difficult situation was an amazing story from the Vietnam War.
There was a soldier named John. He was part of a regiment that got lost in the woods during a civil war battle. As night fell, they started to hear strange noises. John saw a figure in the distance that looked like an old woman. But when he got closer, it disappeared. The whole night, they felt like they were being watched. In the morning, they found out they had been walking in circles near an old cemetery. John never forgot that night and always believed they had encountered something otherworldly.
I know of a story where on a holiday, the mta was running a reduced service but there were still a lot of people out. A particular train was so overcrowded that passengers couldn't move their arms or legs properly. Some people had their bags squashed, and there was a lot of jostling. There were kids crying because they were so uncomfortable. It was a nightmare for everyone on board. And the train had to make extra stops because of some technical issues, which just added to the chaos.
Sure. There was a seller who sold a used laptop on Carousell. The buyer seemed very nice at first and asked a lot of questions. After the seller shipped the laptop, the buyer claimed it was damaged and demanded a refund. However, the seller knew the laptop was in perfect condition when shipped. The buyer then threatened to leave bad reviews if the refund wasn't given. It was a really difficult situation for the seller.
I heard about a biker who booked an Airbnb near Sturgis. The listing showed a clean and cozy place. But when he arrived, the place was a mess. There was garbage in the kitchen, and the bathroom was filthy. The host was unreachable, and he had to spend the first day of his Sturgis trip trying to clean up the place just so he could stay there.
Yes. In Warsaw, Poland, during the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. The Nazis had confined Jews to a ghetto and then began to deport them to death camps. The Jews fought back, but the Nazis responded with extreme brutality. Civilians were massacred, and the ghetto was eventually razed to the ground. It was a dark chapter for the civilians there.
There was this old tenement building in the ghetto. People there had to deal with broken staircases. A family on the third floor had an elderly member who couldn't climb the stairs easily. One day, the railing on the stairs broke completely. It was so dangerous that the family was constantly worried about the elderly person falling and getting seriously injured. And the landlord didn't care at all about fixing it.
In a big city hospital, overcrowding led to patients being put in hallways instead of proper rooms. There were not enough beds, so people were lying on gurneys in the corridors. This made it difficult for the nurses to monitor everyone properly. Also, it increased the risk of spreading diseases among the patients. It was a very distressing situation for everyone involved.
Sure. There was Audie Murphy. He was one of the most decorated American soldiers. He once single - handedly held off an entire German company. He climbed onto a burning tank destroyer and used its machine gun to fight off the Germans. His actions were extremely brave and he became a hero.
Sure. There was a person who took Ambien and woke up to find that they had written strange and disturbing messages all over their walls. They had no memory of doing it at all. It was really creepy as it was like some unknown force had taken over them while they were under the influence of the drug.
