There is no good reason why people with perfectly valid permanent residentgreen cards have been rounded up at airports, handcuffed, and threatened with deportation.

A sea of protesters gathered outside of Terminal 4 of JFK after people from Muslim countries were detained at border control.

Uber CEO Travis Kalanick said the ride sharing app will compensate its drivers who may be barred from entering the US as a result of Donald Trump's executive order.

Protest on Saturday.

An Iranian PhD graduate who has been living in the US for nearly seven years was pulled off a plane headed to the U.S. following Trump's immigrant ban.

Nazanin Zinouri, from Tehran, Iran, was escorted off her flight by two officers at a Dubai airport on Saturday after President Donald Trump severely restricted immigration from seven countries.

The PhD graduate from Clemson University has lived in the United States for nearly seven years and shared her emotional story on Facebook which said 'everything I worked for all these years doesn't matter.'



Zinouri, a data scientist, left to visit her family in Iran on Friday, January 20, and said in a Facebook post that she only gets to see her relatives around once a year.

She left behind her dog (pictured) who is reportedly being watched by friends in South Carolina.

Following up on his most famous campaign promise, Trump said he will: 'secure the southern border of the United States through the immediate construction of a physical wall on the southern border.'Mexico has said they will not pay for the wall.

I believe the club already have staff who do that

However, all you need to do is figure out a service or product to offer him that is worth that amount and he will surely get it and more

Sure, i no that.

Was discussing about footballers' pay generally and how rich these guys are with someone last night.

So i mentioned C.Ronaldo that if the guy can even ask me or employ me in this recession to be packing his boots, sneakers, trainers, to the traning field or stadium for #5million weekly out of the #145m he's earning every week that i will gladly take the job.

Who is the alternative??

That's it bro.

A couple was on their honeymoon in Australia while this rare photo was taken.

It was believed that the couple entered the ocean together and the husband left his wife lying at the bottom of the ocean.

It is also believed that he must have turned off her air regulator too.

As newlyweds, Gabe and Tina went on a scuba diving excursion in Australia.

Just before this photograph was taken (by an unsuspecting friend of the diver posing in the foreground),

Gabe was seen giving her what looked to be a bear hug.

In reality, he was likely disabling her air regulator and holding her down until she lost consciousness.

When he finally resurfaced for help, he swam leisurely back to the boat and calmly notified an instructor that his wife was experiencing difficulty.

The diver swimming towards Tina in this photo is the instructor struggling to rescue her, but it was already too late.

Back in America, Gabe Watson was acquitted of murder charges based on lack of evidence and cashed in big due to Tina’s substantial life insurance policy, and the dangerous environment in which she perished.

A photographer accidently captures a suicide by a couple when they jumped off a bridge.

He originally intended to take a picture of the heavy fog that had blanketed the bridge across the Wuhan Yangtze River in Wuhan but ended up capturing this mishap.

Permanent shadows, also called “Nuclear Shadows” were formed during the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

The reason behind the formation of these permanent shadows is what’s known as“thermal radiation”.

The body of John Torrington.



In the 1840s,John Torrington and a crew of 100 explorers sailed thousands of miles away from civilization in the arctic attempted to find the fabled Northwest Passage that would allow for quicker and safer travel between North America and Asia.

However, during the expedition, Torrington’s ship was damaged, and the crew was forced to abandon and trek back through Canada on foot.

No one made it back.

136 years another crew set sail to recover their bodies, upon opening the graves, the scientists were simply baffled by what they found: three perfectly preserved bodies who stared back at time.

Torrington’s body was buried along the way, perfectly preserved by the frigid temperatures.

The aftermath of a car accident in 1945.

The result of traveling at a high rate of speed without wearing a seat belt.

A group of friends in Beirut, Lebanon, moments before a car bomb explosion, and then moments after.

(The bomb was in the gold car you see in the first photo.)

This woman in this photo is actually dead.

Her husband took it two days after she passed away.

There’s no word on what her cause of death was.

Photographs (similar to the one above) of deceased loved ones were a normal part of American and European culture in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

Hisashi Ouchi received a fatal radiation dose with a mortality rate considered to be 100%.

Despite desiring to die, he was kept alive in horrendous pain for 83 days against his will.


Hisashi Ouchi was one of the three workers who was preparing a small batch of fuel by adding aqueous uranyl nitrate solution to the precipitation tank.

The accident occurred when they added a seventh bucket of the solution and the tank reached criticality.

A self-sustaining nuclear fission reaction started and emitted gamma and neutron radiation.

Ouchi, who was the nearest one, received 17 sieverts (Sv) of radiation while the permissible annual dose of radiation is considered to be 50 mSv and the fatal dose as 8 Sv.

He suffered serious burns, severe internal organ damage, and had a near-zero white blood cell count.

The doctors who treated them were under pressure as it was considered a matter of national dignity, and so he was kept alive despite his wishes for 83 days before his heart finally failed.

Mummified body of German adventurer who vanished was found inside his drifting yacht.



The mummified body of Manfred Fritz Bajorat was discovered in his yacht, most of which was underwater, by two fishermen.

He had spent around 20 years cruising the world before meeting his end.

The exact cause of his death is not known though the doctors believe that he could have died of natural causes.

He was found lying near the radio as if trying to call someone over the radio.

Instead of being decomposed, his body was preserved probably by the dry ocean winds, hot temperatures, and salty air.

Maori are the indigenous people of New Zealand who tattooed their faces.

When someone with tattoos died, their heads are preserved by sealing orifices with flax fiber and gum, then boiled or steamed in an oven, then smoked over an open fire, dried under the sun for several days, and treated with shark oil.

These heads are called Mokomokai.

In the early 19th century, with the arrival of Europeans, the Maori had to sell them for firearms to defend themselves.

Major-General Robley, a British army officer who served in New Zealand during the 1860s, built up a collection of 35 to 40 Mokomokai which he later sold to the American Museum of Natural History.
