November 1, 1955 Jack Gilbert Graham placed a bomb in his mother's suitcase and killed 44 people that day.
Daisy Walker was on her way on a much needed vacation and decided to book a flight to Alaska to visit her daughter. Before her so drove her to the airport, Jack decided to place a bomb in her suitcase. He thought he planned the perfect murder, as he set the timer on the bomb to go off once she was in the air far away from their city. Once he was at the airport, he bought life insurance on his mother's life, kissed her goodbye and watched her load onto the plane with many other innocent souls. Buying life insurance by passengers was pretty common during the early days of commercial flights. They were readily available in vending machines.

The plane departed from New York, landed in Chicago, continued on to Denver picking up more people on the way. The next stop was going to be Seattle but it never arrived as it exploded soon after leaving Denver.... Read story It killed every single person on board, 44 people total. The FBI, Police and United Airlines all teamed together for extensive investigation! It all lead them to the same conclusion once they found explosive debris in a passenger's luggage. Putting all the pieces together on who the passenger could be, soon lead them all to her son. He was notorious for using these same methods, in other situations, to collect funds to pay off his debts. He blew up his bar and he left his truck on some tracks. He was also wanted for embezzlement and forgery. When he was arrested and officially charged, all they could charge him with was one murder. The premeditated murder of his mother after confession. In 1955, none of the federal laws or books had anything saying it was against the law to blow up an airplane. So what he did wasn't actually a crime. Even though his actions killed 44 people, he could not be convicted of murdering them because using a bomb on a plane was not a crime. It would've been called an accident and nothing more. So his confession and conviction of his mother's murder is the only thing that lead to his execution, by gas chamber on Jan, 1957.

SO Sad! Transgender Woman Pleads For Life Before Mob Beat Her To Death A video footage has revealed that a transgender woman, who was dragged from her home and dumped in a wheelbarrow before being rolled away, begged for her life moments before she was beaten to death amid cheers and laughter. 42-year-old Dandara dos Santos, was kicked, punched and hit with shoes and a plank of wood in front of residents in Fortaleza, Ceara state, Brazil. The person behind the camera who spoke in portuguese was heard saying; "they will kill the gay". Dandara's attackers also made cruel taunts about her hormone-therapy induced Bosom , hurling homophobic insults at her. The February 15th incident, which has long sparked an online outrage in the LGBT community, is alleged to be the 5th transgender murder recorded in Brazil last month. The footage which has gone viral, also helped the police who are still investigating the murder case, in identifying 6 persons. According to MirrorUK, between

On this day,March 10, 2022, Brazen couple caught having roadside sex in Google Street View photos This is not the kind of roadside attraction Google users were expecting. A couple has been caught having sex by the side of a highway in photos uploaded to Google Street View. The explicit images were reportedly taken on Dukes Highway just outside the Australian town of Keith — about halfway between the cities of Adelaide and Melbourne.

The pair are not identifiable from the saucy images and it’s not believed they were arrested over the ac
