Frightening moment teen girl falls to death trying to take a selfie

A horrifying video has captured the moment a teenager falls through the air and slams into the ground after taking a selfie on the top of a four-storey building.

Melike Gun Kanavuzlar, 15, died after she slipped and fell. It's believed she dropped her phone and tried to grab it, losing her balance before falling to her death.
The tragedy occurred in a town named Ortaca in the Mugla Province in Western Turkey.

The onlooker then flees the scene in shock while a terrified dog barks as it runs along the road.


The tragic incident was filmed by security cameras belonging to neighbouring buildings in the area.

Medical workers and police then tended to the fatally injured teen before she was taken to a state hospital in a critical condition, according to reports.

The 15-year-old was then transferred to an Intensive Care Unit in the city of Mugla in southwestern Turkey where she fought for her life for 18 days before she died

  German women were raped by all armies at the end of the second world war From the archive, 17 June 1955: Berlin woman's memoir of mass rape reviewed Controversial book suggests many Berlin women were raped by drunken Red Army soldiers during the second world war Observer, 19 June 2005: When rape was a spoil of war Two years after the end of the war Berlin still smelled of death. Each street contained dozens of ruins and every ruin, especially after rain had fallen and there was still a dampness in the air, retained the same sickly smell. It may have been, as some Germans honestly believed, corpses buried beneath them, or it may have been the state of the drains. It may simply have been the projection of a short but stormy past into the greyness of that particularly uninviting present. A Woman in Berlin (Secker and Warburg, pp. 284, 15s) tells the story of a single German woman of middle-class family, living in the Neu-Kölln district of Berlin. This district has not

Terrible! "Wooden Horse Or Spanish Donkey" Method Of Punishment

Image
The wooden horse, or Spanish donkey, was an extremely painful and gruesome medieval torture device.  It was first used by the Holy Inquisition in France and then in Spain and Germany, and then migrated to the Americas, gaining prominence during the colonial period.  The main design was the same wherever it was used.  It was a triangular wooden box with a very sharp top end (ie where the horse's spine would be).  The apparatus was constructed of wood, with planks nailed together to form a long, tapered ridge, which would serve as the horse's back.  These were supported by four legs attached to a bracket, about 6 or 7 feet (1.8 to 2.1 metres) high, with wheels fitted to the bottom of the legs so that the entire device could roll across the ground.  A head and tail would be attached to make the torture device look like an almost “fun” huge wooden horse.  The defendant would be mounted on the horse, with ankle weights and hands tied behind his ba
