Texarkana, Arkansas, police corporal Randy McAdams has been patrolling these streets for 20 years. Answering the last call at the end of his shift, he heads to the local park to figure things out. Everything seems quiet. But then. " Hey, I'm leaving." McAdams is blinded by a giant white flash. I am simply amazed by the immense power, I feel it in my chest. He communicates with the station by radio. I don't know if I can walk through the flames. The feeling is very strange. And he tries to escape, but his car stalls. At this point, the car simply stops.
The light goes out. Then, to his horror, a I see something that looks like fog in this area. Your mind is moving at a million miles a minute. As the cloud continues to approach him, the car miraculously comes to life. Just at the moment when the fireball erupts. reverse and runs for his life. Get out of the way. Get the hell out of here. And it's as if the whole world is on fire. And I knew I had to run away from it because I could see everything starting to explode and burn. But just a few seconds, a few feet in any direction, would have ended my life Experts are puzzled by an explosion in a public park with no obvious ignition source.
You will never see anything like this. No matter how you look at it or how you evaluate it, it was catastrophic. This is a powerful explosion. Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Davis has 21 years of Army experience, but even he is baffled by this footage. My first reaction was, "Wow, this looks like a war zone, but this is Texarkana, a city in the state where I'm from." If it was some kind of military explosive, what was it doing in the area and where could it have come from? The massive 16,000- acre Red River Army Depot is located just 18 miles west of Texarkana. A huge amount of ammunition is stored there.
A lot of it is made there and then shipped to where we need it for our fighters around the world. Colonel Davis' analysis leads him to believe that the explosion may be one of the most horrific weapons ever used by the American military. Napalm. One of the things that makes me think it might be something like napalm is how quickly the flames exploded, and it was clearly burning very brightly. Napalm is a descendant of liquid fire used by the ancient armies of the Byzantine Empire. The fire was so powerful that it could set the sea on fire. Its chemical composition remained a closely guarded secret, but it inspired chemical warfare specialists
1,300 years later to create napalm. Their mixture of gasoline and thickening jelly instantly burns on anything at temperatures 5,000° higher than the molten lava boiling on Mount St. Helens. Once it gets on your skin, there's nothing you can do. You can't extinguish it. It will burn until it runs out of Napalm was the most infamous use in Vietnam. 400,000 tons were dropped on jungle villages, burning everything in sight. Did the napalm death trap in Texarkana explode by accident? Pyrotechnic engineer Matt Kutcher worked with explosives in Hollywood for 28 years.
He's going to use his skills to test whether the explosion in Texarkana is napalm. He covers the car to recreate the reaction of this substance with this suit you? We took gasoline and mixed it with a thickener to essentially recreate napalm. So, I think what I'm going to do is put some of it on the roof and then maybe over the door and then throw some inside to create something almost like a fuse. So when we set him on fire, he'll set everything on fire. Napalm is one of the most volatile substances in modern warfare. It is flammable, highly toxic, and not to be played with.
He is more powerful now than he will ever be. Kutcher equipped the car with a remote detonator. Are When triggered, a small explosive charge will ignite the napalm. You don't think that bullet is on the roof of that car, do you? It was rage. Kutcher's trained eye notices one important difference between his outburst on video. You can clearly see the effect of napalm on the roof of the car. You can see all the gelatin burning. It doesn't have the same expansion ratio as I think it does in the video.
Napalm is fueled entirely by gasoline, so it cannot grow and spread in the air like the explosion in Texarkana. This must mean that the explosion in Texarkana is being fueled by something other than gasoline. The police car's dashcam recorded evidence of a gas cloud. Ominous smell. I smell some kind of chemical smell. It slowly drifts further south. And a deadly explosion in the usually quiet city of Texarkana. Transportation analyst Nicole Katsikides discovers that the explosion occurred near a major transportation hub. Texarkana has this big train station, and there are a lot of trains going through it every day. My feeling is that this is a major rail
freight disaster Freight trains transport over 100 million tons of hazardous materials each year. In 2013, the brakes of an unmanned freight train failed. He began to roll down the slope. Each of its 74 railcars carried 30,000 gallons of crude oil. Gaining speed, it headed straight for the Canadian town of Lac-Megantic, Quebec, just 9 miles from the American border, derailed at miles per hour and crashed into the city center. 47 people were killed and over 40 buildings were destroyed in the explosion. Firefighter Rick Paddock battled a We learned that the train was standing still at the railway station, and the first full car had been sawn off.
Propylene is an extremely volatile, flammable gas used in the steel industry for The train arrived in the city and derailed, hitting a propylene car and piercing the tank. The fire burned for a long time after that. Everything there disappeared, burned down. Over 13,000 propylene tankers All we can be sure of is that such an explosion will happen again. June 2013, Detroit, Michigan. Nowhere in the quiet suburb of Farmington is there more silence than at Oakwood Cemetery in Farmington. Lonnie Williams visits the cemetery. He stops his car at the bottom of the hill and shifts it into neutral. Then the Rolling back up the hill.
Something seems to be pulling her. I have no idea. And then, even more strangely, she seems to be pushed back. It seems that at this tree we stop and start moving forward again. And then up again, as if we were being moved by an invisible hand. Yes, my feet don't stay on the pedals. The car is still in neutral. This is the strangest thing. returns to the cemetery again and again. This is roughly the same place. And every time the same mysterious phenomenon occurs. I'm not sure why it works, but, uh, it always does. What we see here is some kind of force that moves the car first in one direction and then in the other. This is really
strange. I don't understand. As if she has some kind of will of her own. Journalist Malia Fox studies the audio recording and hears something ominous. If you listen carefully to the clip, it sounds like someone is saying the name Sarah. This will send shivers down your spine. This is so creepy. I was walking around here and found a couple of tombstones with the name Sarah on them. I think that's really strange. Some people believe that spirits or ghosts can actually move objects without touching them, and this is called psychokinesis. Could it be a spirit pushing the car to get it out of the cemetery? Maybe they don't want you there. In a Detroit cemetery, a car
is possessed by a mysterious force that pushes it up and then down a slope. Planetary scientist Sian Proctor investigates whether the video shows a sinister glitch in the forces of physics. Usually what falls stays down. But in this case it falls and then rises again. And this is wrong. Ever since Newton saw an apple fall from a tree, people have thought they understood how gravity works. It's the force that binds everything to the planet, but a recent NASA mission has discovered something disturbing. One of the interesting things we discovered is that gravity is lower in the Hudson Bay area of Canada We think of gravity as a constant force. The idea that it is weaker in places is disturbing.
This does not mean that people are floating in the air over this part of Canada. Gravity still works. She's just a little less strong. Science journalist Jeff Wise investigates what phenomenon could have such a powerful effect on gravity in a cemetery. Something that could have such a gravitational pull would have to be extremely dense. This must essentially be some kind of microscopic black hole. The idea of a microscopic black hole in a cemetery may seem completely crazy, but it doesn't go against the laws of physics.
Tiny versions of regular black holes are so dense that nothing can escape them, not even light The idea of a micro black hole is pretty terrifying. It is, in fact, one of the most deadly forces imaginable. Theoretical physicist Michio Kaku follows the work of scientists who are now experimenting with microscopic black holes right here on Earth. In Geneva, Switzerland, we have the Large Hadron Collider, the most powerful atomic destroyer on planet Earth. One set of experiments involves creating mini-black holes. The created by the Large Hadron Collider are unstable and exist for less than a fraction of a second. But natural microscopic black
holes in the galaxy are much more stable and much more destructive. But when Kaku does the math, he figures that a stable microscopic black hole in this cemetery would send us all to our graves. A mini black hole will allow you to pull a car, but you realize that even a mini black hole would be enough to eat the Earth. Kaku is watching the video. He wonders whether the shape of the hill itself might influence the perception of eyewitness Lonnie Williams. How does the brain know what is up, down, left, right? He looks at the horizon. He is looking for landmarks. And if you shift these landmarks, you can trick the brain. For example, is this boy as tall as a grown man? How many dogs are clipped? And
how can this hill not be what it seems? Proctor believes this could be a phenomenon known as a gravity hill When you watch the video and notice the tombstones and the trees, what happens is that they are tilted in a certain way that confuses our senses. When we are on a gravity hill, the scenery around us deceives us into believing that we are on a downward slope. But if we could look at the hill from a different perspective, we would see that we are actually on an upward slope. You think you are doing one thing, but something else happens. And suddenly you are breaking the laws of gravity. But if it's a gravity hill, why does the car move in two directions?
We are starting to move forward again. And what is the origin of the voice in the car? Witness Lonnie Williams doesn't believe that some natural force is disturbing his feelings. Optical illusion? I don't know if this is the real answer. The mystery is still strange to me. She is still a mystery to me This was the actual filming location for the first Tomb Raider movie. Angkor Wat in Cambodia is one of the largest and most amazing religious monuments in the world. protector god Vishnu, whose avatars, according to his followers, are still active in the world.
The design of the temple is mysterious and complex. It was a huge center of technology at the time. Angkor Wat is located near the city of Siem Reap. August 2019. American tourists came here to see the temple. And some are filming it while being just a few miles away. Boom! A powerful explosion. The shock wave knocks motorcyclists off their bikes and forces people to flee. Oh, it's still burning. Oh, my God. It was terrible. Imagine you're going about your daily business and something like this happens. Something so destructive, so explosive, so dangerous. A terrible event. An. There are rumors in Siem Reap about Westerners
visiting the temple complex. This happened in a city that is actually only a few kilometers from Angkor Wat. The proximity to the temple leads to some wild and strange assumptions. It is believed that there were once temples at Angkor Wat that were covered in gold, and they were covered in gold to catch the sun's rays during key times of the year, the equinoxes. The temples were built by King Suryavarman, who according to legend was a demigod who used advanced geometry to position buildings to reflect objects in space.
They could harness the power of the sun, effectively creating a beam, uh, a powerful beam of light with destructive power. So is there a connection between this ancient mysterious temple complex and this modern mysterious explosion? Could there be some lost technology that somehow remains active, somehow remains dangerous, that can somehow cause explosions? scientist Doug Holmes believes the location of the explosion could indicate an act of terrorism. I think that nowadays, in this climate, it's impossible to see something like this and not think about terrorism. In a region that has historically been torn apart by war, this cannot be ruled out.
Cambodia borders Vietnam. In the early 1970s, the country was invaded by the Viet Cong. Despite America's efforts, a communist dictatorship known as the Khmer Rouge is established. The leader of the party is Pol Pot, whose methods are cruel and horrific. The Khmer Rouge executed people just because of their appearance and used their bodies as fertilizer in the fields. Communists take and kill the children and infants of those who dare to criticize them. Women are subjected to horrific medical experiments. About 2 million people, about a quarter of the population, were exterminated by the Khmer Rouge under Pol Pot, who is remembered as one of the most brutal and insane murderous leaders in history. were recently sentenced to life imprisonment for their heinous
crimes. Knowing that this is happening in a place with a long history of conflict, you, I mean, you can't help but think, you know, maybe it's some kind of insurgents, local terrorist groups, something that could cause such an explosion. So this is an area on the globe that we know was under siege. This is a terrorist zone. And this type of explosion resembles this type of attack Matt Kutcher worked as a Hollywood explosives and pyrotechnics expert for over 20 years. Blow up. There's a bit of Hollywood magic today, isn't there? He wants to see if the explosion in the video matches the explosion caused by a bomb.
I think the first thing we need to do is make some kind of shed, something to represent a building. We're going to need some right here. We'll have explosives around this barrel, and there'll be some explosives in the barrel. And to recreate everything that we see, the roof breaking through, the door blowing out, we'll add water inside, use water as what's destroying this building. Okay, Ty, come on, fill it up. This type of explosive is no joke. We'll have to stay away from that. This will blow this thing to pieces.
Just one big explosion. An explosion near one of the greatest wonders of the world, followed by a deadly fire. Pyrotechnics expert Matt Kutcher created a terrorist-style explosive device to test whether it matched the explosion in the video. Okay, gentlemen, let's take up firing positions. Okay, guys, we're ready. We're off to a hot start. Let's turn on the horns. Okay, let's begin. In 3, 2, 1. Without a doubt. It completely destroyed this building. That got it done quickly, didn't it? And in fact, it looked as if there Completely disappeared. And not an ounce of flame.
The flames are only visible when Matt watches his explosion slow down by 90%. Although it looks very similar at the beginning, mass transfer of energy.there's definitely something missing at the end, isn't there? The video clearly shows a long-lasting fire, as if there was something else in the building. So it couldn't have been explosives. We were able to get more information about what was actually in this building. What kept the fire going? And is the prolonged fire related to what caused the explosion? Engineer Adam Head Gazey wonders if the fuel that caused the explosion could have been gasoline. But government records show there were no licensed gas stations in the area.
Gasoline is a highly desirable commodity almost anywhere in the world. And if you can make money selling it, someone will probably sell it on the black market later. So this could open up some possibilities regarding smuggled gasoline, which could be the cause of what we're seeing. Since 1979, the country has been ruled by the Cambodian People's Party, which came to power after the Khmer Rouge. These Marxists have implemented some free market reforms, but they still levy harsh taxes, especially on gasoline sales. As a result, in some Cambodian cities, the number of pirate gas stations exceeds the number of legal ones. developing country. Many of these things become quite awkward in a situations can arise where hazardous chemicals or substances
are handled improperly. Unlicensed gas stations and street vendors selling gasoline from bottles are common throughout the country, leading experts to believe the explosion occurred at a location where gasoline was being sold illegally. Given that it's on a busy street, you can imagine a place like this where there could be a gas station, maybe an illegal gas station, maybe someone paid a bribe to the local inspector, or someone is just trying to save money. This video serves as a warning about how dangerous something like illegal gas station can be. When standards are not followed, then Tajikistan, a remote mountainous neighbor of Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, and Kyrgyzstan.
The country is now ruled by a brutal dictator who is determined to eradicate what he considers superstitious practices. In 2014, police reportedly arrested zombies and vampires, or people disguised as them. But in June 2019, the authorities faced something more than just prejudice. You may see people visiting the graves of people they have lost, but there are only pits. There is no one there. The villager takes out his phone to film what he sees. This video is pretty awful from the start. You walk through the cemetery, the ground near each gravesite is wide open. This is truly a horrific sight.
There are no corpses. Not one or two, but all of them It looks like someone just grabbed them and pulled them. And you think: why did this happen? There are a lot of things in this video that, at first glance, just don't make sense. Myths about the undead can be found throughout Asia, although the names of these creatures vary. Strangely, in 2007, several American soldiers told a reporter from an Oregon newspaper that they had seen real vampires while on a deployment in neighboring Afghanistan. In response to this incredible footage, experts are considering possible explanations.
What if these people were actually buried alive, and then they woke up and dug themselves up? This really happens, it has happened throughout history. Before the advent of modern medicine, determining human death was far from an exact science. The Victorians in England were very afraid of this. In fact, some coffins had bells on them so that if they were buried alive, they could ring to alert people If a person wakes up buried in a coffin, they have a little over 5 hours of It's scary to think that people can actually be buried before they die. It's unbelievable, but even today the chance of being buried alive is very real. In 2014, a 78-year-old man in Mississippi woke up just before he was to be embalmed at a funeral home, started kicking, and
they realized he was alive. He was declared dead because they couldn't find a pulse. Tajikistan is one of the poorest countries in the world and the poorest of all the former Soviet republics. Doctors are often undertrained, and there is only one doctor for every 625 people. The few resources that doctors have are severely overstretched It turns out that in many places, you literally don't need a medical degree to be a coroner, the person who declares a person dead or not. Solget highlights one medical condition that Tajikistan's health service can find difficult to diagnose. There is a condition called catalepsy, where you don't feel a pulse and your muscles become rigid, similar to what happens in rigor mortis.
This can happen if a person suffers from epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, or drug withdrawal. If that were the case, it would be a misdiagnosis of death and burial on a massive scale, all in one place. But that can't be the explanation here. Analysts are looking into whether these tombs were robbed. You might ask if these could have been grave robbers. But if so, it's a very well-coordinated simultaneous attack. In Tajikistan, grieving villagers visit the graves of their loved ones and find them empty. But this is such a poor part of the world that there really isn't anything valuable to steal. Unless what is being looted is not in the graves, but inside the bodies themselves.
China has recently faced international condemnation as people reported that they were harvesting organs from prisoners who had recently died. According to a 2016 report by Human Rights Lawyers, Chinese authorities are accused of arresting political opponents and using their organs for transplantation. It has been reported in various online sources that some prisoners who are executed before burial actually become organ donors against their own choice.
China executes more people than all other countries combined. But even if they use their prisoners as an organ bank, there will still be a shortage of them worldwide. And so the black market compensates for this. The kidney has a street value of $150,000 . But for it to be usable, it must be removed from the body within a few hours of death. However, other tissues, such as heart valves or corneas, can remain viable for longer. This shot is from Tajikistan, and the people were undoubtedly Muslims. Uh, according to Islamic tradition, the dead should not be cremated, but should be buried within 24 hours.
The organs in the bodies here are almost certainly unusable. But for a ruthless street gang, exchanging valuable body parts for fresh ones can be an irresistible source of illicit income. If this cemetery was filled with a recently buried body, it's entirely possible that the grave robbers wanted the organs. The thought of a loved one's grave being desecrated is traumatic. This is terrible. But chemist Simon Foster wonders if it could be a strange result of bad weather combined with rotting corpses.
Looking for an explanation for this, one can see that in fact similar events occur during floods, when, unfortunately, there was a hurricane or typhoon. Nature can do some pretty terrible things, and is that what happened here? Perhaps the coffins used here are airtight and waterproof. As corpses decompose, they release gases including hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide, and methane. Inside this sealed container is not only air, but also increasingly gas. So, essentially, it will make it increasingly buoyant.
The color of the soil in the video indicates a high clay and silt content. Heavy rains can quickly turn this type of soil into wet, light dirt. It would be a strange sight, but coffins filled with gas could rise from the ground and float away, carried away by the torrents of rain. So wherever this floodwater goes, unfortunately, the coffins will go with it. But not a single coffin was found along the road to the village. What happened to the dead in this Tajik village remains a mystery So the question is, where are the coffins now? Where did they go? The real tragedy is that you could have lost the body
and coffin of your loved one. Latin American church where locals come for worship, marriage, baptism and burial in the surrounding cemetery. Evening service. First, a few large insects. Then even more. Then tens of millions of insects completely overwhelmed the church and its parishioners piles of insects crawling on the floor and all over the walls. This is puzzling If I were in that church, I would panic. There's no way I could stand this. The number of insects on Earth is truly terrifying. These footage are a chilling reminder that there are 200 million insects for every person.
Pound for pound, the planet's insects outnumber humans by a ratio of 300 to insect world has been around much longer than we have, and will be here much longer. Moreover, insects are humanity's deadliest enemy. It is estimated that throughout human history, insects have killed half of the people ever born. Their destructive nature is incredible. And they have many ways to kill. Insects have always been able to carry many different encephalitic or other types of diseases that would kill people. There are fewer of us. We can be destroyed very quickly.
If you look at the big picture of things, we are just trying to survive. After looking more closely at the video, biologist Danny Washington believes she knows the species of insect in the church. Based on the body type, I'm pretty sure these are termites. Termites are the rulers of the land. The most ancient termites are solitary scavengers, like cockroaches. But 150 million years ago, they began to cooperate in colonies numbering in the millions. Now these termite terminators stop at nothing. Termites are one of the most destructive forces on the planet.
Termite colonies never sleep. They feed 24/7. What makes termites so powerful is their ability to organize themselves. Termites have different castes. They have workers, and they are the ones causing the damage. And they also have soldiers, and their job is to protect the colony. And they are kind of fierce fighters. Soldier termites actually have mandibles strong enough to pierce skin. And maybe one of those wouldn't hurt, but you can imagine that if you have an army of termite soldiers, that's not the kind of battlefield I want to be around. And then there are the alates, the future kings and queens, the reproductives, if you will.
Like transformers, termites can change their bodies into whatever the colony needs. If the queen needs more workers, the soldier will become a worker. If she needs more soldiers, the worker will become a soldier. Not many species can do that. Entomologist Kevin Caskey knows that with so many termites on the surface, there must be a truly enormous colony somewhere underground nearby. They need a food source, whether it's in that church, under that church, around that church, that's where these termite colonies will operate. But upon closer inspection, Kaski notices that the church does not appear to be made of wood, the
termites' usual food. There are different types of termites. They discover that termites actually now eat more than just wood. It turns out that these termites may have a taste for bones. These termites may have literally risen from their graves. There are so many of them, and they may have feasted on the dead Researchers found bones with clear signs of termite gnawing. It is actually possible that termites may have eaten some of the corpses in the cemetery. If you think about it, we put a lot of fresh meat right there in the ground. For termites, it's a graveyard- like an all-you-can-eat buffet Feeding on the buried might explain why
termites are in the area at all, but it doesn't explain why they're up inside the church now, because they always feed on these bones underground, and that's where the bones should be. So why are they in church now? What's worrying is that these termites may have taken a liking to humans. Scientific consultant Dustin Grovik also notes that they have grown to enormous sizes. Most termites are only about a quarter of an inch long. There's a shot in this video where a human leg comes into the frame, giving it scale, and you can see that one of these insects is about an inch long, which is four times larger than the termite you see underground. An ominous swarm of termites descends
on a church in Peru. Noting their enormous size, scientific consultant Dustin Groyck admits that these are probably kings and queens. The termite king and queen are about an inch long, and they have the same dark brown body that we see in the insects in this video. It looks like we have royalty in town So kings and queens are reproductive individuals. Their only goal, nothing more, is to propagate the species. Once a queen mates, all she does for the rest of her life is produce eggs for the rest of her life. eating termites can soon multiply at a terrifying rate.
Termite queens produce an average of one egg every 3 seconds. That's 30,000 eggs per day. Hundreds of thousands of termites can appear in a year, and that's just from one mating pair These supertermites can devour human corpses. If they move to living organisms, it will be a challenge for our species. In neighboring Brazil and Peru, a termite supercolony about the size of Great Britain was found. Imagine the destruction this could cause. Could this massive mating swarm be the start of a new supercolony? A termite supercolony knows no boundaries or limits. A supercolony of this size could migrate from South America to the United States. The US already has termites.
What could indicate that this cannot happen here? Just imagine an entire colony just eating its way across America. Sosnovy Bor, 43 miles west of St. Petersburg, this town was built in 1958 to house workers for a new nuclear power plant. It is located so close to a classified facility that you need special permission just to enter. August 30, 2015. A local resident finds a small creature. She looks like a newly hatched baby of some kind, but what? She is unlike any animal I have seen before. This is really strange. This does not match any known creature on Earth, living or extinct.
Scientists occasionally find new species of fossilized dinosaurs, but they are always variations of the ones we already know. This creature is different. Alien," where this creature looks a lot like the one that pops up. Experts are puzzled as to what kind of animal this is. I've never seen a real animal that looked like that. This is truly disturbing. She is dry, exhausted, and strange. Biologist Craig Zolgot wonders if the location where it was filmed could provide a clue to the creature's origins.
She was found near the Leningrad Nuclear Power Plant. And when you think about nuclear power plants, you start to think: well, are there any crazy mutations? Anyone who has ever seen a superhero movie knows that radiation causes cell mutations, but in real life, these consequences can be horrific. Radiation can cause, well, cancer at a basic level, and that's mutation. That's when your cells don't grow as they should. They are growing wildly and Could this have happened due to contact with radioactive waste?
Is this some kind of mutant? But for this creature to be a nuclear mutant, some kind of accident would have to have occurred. There are several different ways that accidents can occur at a nuclear power plant. The worst would be a meltdown, of course, but chemical leaks could also occur, which could leave nuclear waste in the Safety performance at the Leningrad Nuclear Power Plant was, to put it mildly, unstable. Since its commissioning in 1975, it has had a long history of accidents and outright failures.
There were fires in 1976 and 79, and the water used to put out the fire did leak into the environment. Much later, in 2015, the steam pipeline burst. So, there were pollution problems in this area, unfortunately, encounter a source of high radioactivity and mutate or change with it? An unknown creature has been found in Western Russia. It does not correspond to any known animal, living or extinct. When entomologist Kevin Caskey studies the video footage, he believes this demonic creature may have been created intentionally. It looks like a dinosaur head on a chicken body with the body of a snake. Kaski wonders if this disturbing creature is a chimera, the result of human interference with nature.
Bioengineering is something that humanity has been playing with for decades, and probably even longer, but it is documented. We believe we can create things from what already exists. There are many hybrid creatures in nature. The most famous is the mule, the offspring of a horse and a donkey, but there are many others, such as the liger, the offspring of a lion and a tiger. Towering above its parents, it is the largest big cat in existence. But some scientists have tried to push the boundaries by combining two very different organisms into one. This specimen is located in Russia. And Russia has a history of trying to interfere with bioengineering things.
Western countries typically limit scientists' ability to interfere with human genes. But not in totalitarian regimes. The Nazis wanted to breed a genetic master race, and early Soviet regimes believed they could scientifically control the entire world, including the genetic makeup of living things. In the early 20th century, the post-revolutionary government, the Bolsheviks, had an ideological reason to support such experiments. They wanted to prove that there is no God, no soul mystical element in the creation of life, that it is a scientific, mechanical process. One pioneering scientist and follower of Darwin is at the forefront of bioengineering in Russia, having made significant advances in the field.
Ilya Ivanov actually experimented with crossbreeding animals using artificial insemination. Ultimately, his goal was to try to take the characteristics of one animal and combine them with another. Ivanov's radical breeding program resulted in the appearance of the guinea pig-mouse, the cow-antelope, and the zebra-horse. But his ultimate plan is to try to crossbreed humans with apes to create a race of super- warrior apes who would be invincible against enemy armies. Authorities discover that Ivanov is planning to impregnate three African women with chimpanzee sperm.
He is being expelled from the country. Ilya Ivanov experimented with creating a new species. I don't care what your motives are for doing this. Nothing good will come of this. That's all I can say Ivanov returns to the Soviet Union and opens a secret institute where he is believed to continue his perverted work. Stories of disturbing genetic experiments continue to this day. The Russians are working on a super chicken. I know this sounds like something out of a comic book, but they're working on this to expand the food production of chickens to help feed the Russians. Russia imports a huge amount of chicken from the US, but the situation has become tense following US restrictions following Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2014.
Relations between the United States and Russia have deteriorated in recent years, leading to a significant reduction in food imports. Again, super chicken. The Russian breed, known as Smina 8, is now actually available for market testing Could this creature be a failed attempt to create a super chicken? We may never know. The creature's body was taken for research by experts from the Institute of Biophysics in Krasnoyarsk. All they say is that what was found was some kind of non-viable mutant. But it still begs the question: did nuclear mutation or humanities have the final hand in its creation? Are we dealing with some kind of genetic experiment that no one wants to admit, no one is conducting, but again, it's there, it's right there, for all to see.
Colombia, the criminal base of Pablo Escobar, the richest drug lord in history. The value of which is equivalent to $70 billion, which is more than 20 times that of businessman and President Donald Trump. At the peak of its popularity, Escobar's drug cartel exported 15 tons of cocaine per day to the United States. It is estimated that their criminal activities led to the deaths of 5,000 people. This is the cruelest city. There is a murder here every 3 hours This person is single-handedly responsible for approximately 80% of the cocaine exported to countries around the world. most famous and cruel drug lord in the world.
Medellin, Colombia, February 22, 2019. Late morning. The local government has ruled that Pablo Escobar's luxurious six-story private housing complex should be demolished as a symbolic act. A gigantic luxury home called the Monaco was built for his wife, but it was from here that Escobar and his assistants planned many of their most daring deeds. There he couldn't buy, and that meant politicians and beautiful homes, including this one where these shots were taken It was a labyrinth of incredible luxury. Two swimming pools, a tennis court and many hidden passages, exits and secret rooms.
Seconds before Escobar's mansion is blown up, something or someone appears to still be inside. When this thing is about to collapse, it looks like a figure of sorts, a person dressed in white, moving inside. A moment later, a huge explosion occurs and the building collapses, taking with it the figure seen in the image. Seeing this ghostly phenomenon moving through what appears to be an abandoned building is shocking in itself. And then when you find out who previously occupied this building, it becomes even more ominous., as some claim, or is it Escobar himself, still lurking years after his alleged death? In the city of Medellin, Colombia, a camera captured a strange white figure in Pablo Escobar's mansion seconds before it was destroyed.
Pablo Escobar is the Al Capone of our generation. He wrote a book about the ruthless. After committing numerous horrific crimes in 1991, Colombian authorities pressured Escobar to surrender. He agrees to be in his own luxurious prison, guarded by Escobar's own men. Pablo Escobar believed he had the right to own everything and everyone. The so-called prison was called the "Hotel Escobar." Among the luxuries enjoyed by her sole prisoner were a rotating bed, a jacuzzi, a football field, and even a nightclub. But none of this was enough, and he soon found himself back on the cliff. In December 1993, he was reportedly shot dead. Colombia is a Christian country, but religious beliefs here carry echoes of an ancient pagan past. And for
poor Colombians, Escobar's immense wealth and power bordered on the supernatural. So there is a belief that it could be the restless soul of Pablo Escobar, who for some reason is wandering the building. But perhaps it's not a spirit, but a very real person, one of Escobar's men or a looter desperately trying to recover hidden piles of cash. Escobar literally made billions and billions of dollars, a lot of money. Pablo couldn't just walk into a bank with a billion dollars and put it there. There's a reason he bought so much real estate. He needed to have a place where he could hide his prey under the floor, in the walls, in the gardens. He had to put that money somewhere, and he did. Billions. And some of them were not found.
This main Escobar penthouse was literally overflowing with money, most of which may not have been found. Is it possible that this is a looter in one of Pablo Escobar's properties looking for gold, money, weapons? Yes. If so, then this is someone having a really, really bad day. Or maybe Escobar faked his own death? There is no doubt that he had the resources, means, and ingenuity to do so. There is much controversy over how It is suspicious that it is still unclear who exactly killed Escobar. The police officially claimed responsibility for his death, but a vigilante group made up of many of Escobar's enemies also claimed that one
of their forces fired the final shot. Different versions come from, was a very proud man, and his son says that he would never want to be taken alive, he was determined that if this was the end, if he was cornered, he would commit suicide. There are very conflicting versions of how Pablo Escobar was killed. Whether it was a marauder, a henchman, or a human himself, if this creature was human, then it is definitely dead now. This is one of those cases where you just don't know what the camera captured. This is a fittingly strange and dramatic end to the story of Pablo Escobar.
Escobar's life was full of controversy, violence, and death. So it's only fitting that when his own mansion is blown up, controversy ensues.
