camp89 | 10 months ago | +1 -1So this is where the saying "I'd fuck a cord of wood if I thought a snake was in it"' comes from.
malachim | 10 months ago | +14 -1As a former lineman I applaud the man trying to save the others life. This photo really hit home. The only one that can save a lineman when injured on the pole or tower is another lineman. No other services ( fireman,police) is allowed to attempt rescue. These men put their lives on the line every day so the rest of society can have creature comforts. That's why it's the worlds most dangerous job!
electricalalchemy | 10 months ago | +7Crab fishermen don't give CPR while hanging on power lines or towers. They are usually on boats.- malachim | 10 months ago | +1taking into account of men to deaths in each industry Tower hands/ Linemen work is the most dangerous and deadly.
RazeCrusher | 10 months ago | +1Well yea...I assumed they were on boats, not debating, I've just always heard that it's the most dangerous job in the world.
pandafuck | 10 months ago | +11the photographer who took the shot of the African boy with the vulture in the back, he committed suicide.
kittyripper | 10 months ago | +12Kevin Carter
From a different article
The reaction to the picture was so strong that The New York Times published an unusual editor's note on the fate of the girl. Mr Carter said she resumed her trek to the feeding centre. He chased away the vulture. Afterwards, he told an interviewer, he sat under a tree for a long time, "smoking cigarettes and crying". His father, Mr Jimmy Carter said at the time of his death, "Kevin always carried around the horror of the work he did."
If you do a Google image search for his photography, he did photograph some pretty horrible things.- kittyripper | 10 months ago | +10He was the first person to photograph someone dying via an execution method called "necklacing". They put a tire filled with gas around your shoulders and light you on fire. It takes up to 20 minutes for the person to die.

TheDunwichWhore | 10 months ago | +1Fuck, I'd off myself too.
Thanks for the link and story.
I just love when a seemingly innocent sfw upload takes a morbid turn.
- electricalalchemy | 10 months ago | +1Sounds like an appropriate gift for some people that have been posted up here.
friendlygarfield | 10 months ago | +1Kittyripper - great link - side note "necklacing" was big in apartheid SA between black on black - did it start here ?
you do know W Mandela was BIG in "necklace killings " ?
all pimpies (those whom worked for SAP ) that was caught died this way- kittyripper | 10 months ago | +1I found it to be gruesomely interesting so I did look up some more information.
From 1984-1987 about 672 people in Africa were burned alive, half of them were Necklaced. The first widely reported cases were in 1985 Thamsanqa Kinini and a young girl Maki Skosana.
So it did start during the time of apartheid and seems to be specific to Africa. It is still happening there.
It was often carried out in the name of the ANC (African National Congress), even though they later condemned the practice.
Nelson Mandela's wife did condone it and made many public statements approving of it.
CaptainFlyscratch | 10 months ago | +2if you want to see the movie about him and this incident, it is called the Bang-Bang Club
Wagingwetard | 10 months ago | +2Can't blame him.. they have a very hard job.. being exposed to that stuff all the time and not really being able to do much about it.. I couldn't do it.. kind of like being a doctor for kids who have terminal cancer, or being a fluffer for a gay porn movie.. ;)
brohamn | 10 months ago | +1 -2I'm glad he killed himself. He even stated that he just walked away from the poor kid and never knew what even happened to him.
psychmike | 10 months ago | +9 -1I would like to applause the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers for their acceptance of the LBGT lifestyle.- TheDunwichWhore | 10 months ago | +7 -1According to the law of conservation of energy the woman's head in pic eight will hit the ground at the same time as the pot on the right.
- psychmike | 10 months ago | +6 -2Really? He seems to be doing a pretty good job. Let's all.....give him a hand!
- Wagingwetard | 10 months ago | +3Boris, always good to see a pic of him.. the dude was definitely a partying kind of guy..
- Wagingwetard | 10 months ago | +2I wish someone had a picture of when he apparently tried to hail a Washington d.c. cab in his underwear.. dude was a legend.. but despite his flaws he was effective at what he did.. and he didn't exactly take easy projects..
- camp89 | 10 months ago | +2This is what I think of everytime I see your Avi Boris. Very cool for me.
MasterBaker | 10 months ago | +1we have an idiot named Boris here in England too.. unfortunately, he runs our capital city
mammarysex | 10 months ago | +2Not a Pulitzer Prize Winner, But The National Press Photographer Association (NPPA) awarded the photo a first-place award and published it on its Web site with the woman’s face digitally altered. A disturbing image from Seattle’s Mardi Gras 2001 — the drunken melee that in included the fatal, racially charged beating of Kristopher Kime.[image]Now that's a photo that captures Male Human Nature in a moment rarely visually publicized. There was nothing the photographer could do do as he was too far away, and it was all over in the instant it began. To this day, the victim has never come forward.
