[VIDEO] Crazy: Man Electrocuted While Trying to Help Electrocuted Friend
WARNING: THIS IS SOME CRAZY SHIT.
YouTube: What we have here was a man trimming trees with a machete. He was slicing protruding branches but didn’t pay proper attention of the power lines. One of his swings caught a live wire and electrocuted him on the spot. His friend with help of a few neighbors tried to pull him out of the danger when said friend touched the high voltage wire hanging off the post.
You can see sparks on his skin as electric current runs through his body, sending him down to the ground. Woman in yellow shorts gets a zap trying to pull him out but gets out of there before it could electrocute her too. Others try to help the frying man with sticks but it’s not working out. Soon the body starts producing smoke — a clear sign that when the electricity takes a hold of a human, the consequences are brutal.
This took place in December of 2011.

[VIDEOS] Amazing Story Of A Teen Who Coincidentally Left His Own Memorial On YouTube
This is a truly heartbreaking story and definitely worth watching.
Ben Breedlove, 18, recorded two courageously touching videos explaining his heart condition and the few near death experiences that had happened. Coincidentally, these videos were posted by the high-school student one week before he passed away, which happened to be Christmas Day.
Breedlove lived in Austin, texas and suffered from hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, which is a disease that makes the blood muscle abnormally thick which in turn makes it rather difficult to pump blood. As he got older, he understood the severity of his disease and was aware that these near death experiences would most likely stop occurring, because unfortunately, he would succumb to his disorder. Bravely, he got in front of the camera and shared his story in two compelling videos:

The young man you see in these videos is inspiring and shares how being different to any degree is difficult for kids to understand and cope with. Regardless of sexual orientation, physical disorders, mental disorders, emotional disorders, race, etc. Breedlove operated two YouTube channels: YouTube channels: Our Advice4You and BreedloveTV and had gained quite a following, around 80,000 subscribers.
Kid Cudi has seen these videos, and wrote a message on his Tumblr in regards to Breedlove’s passing:
“I watched the video he left for the world to see, and him seeing me in detail, in his vision really warmed my heart,” wrote Cudi in a message that received 1,692 notes. “We love you Ben. Forever. Thank you for loving me. To Ben’s family, you raised a real hero, he’s [definitely] mine. You have my love.”
Although I am not religious, I am happy that this young man felt at peace and is happy to know that Angels and God are on his side. For him, this made him feel good about his passing and probably left his parents with the knowledge that he would be okay. They raised a good kid with a serious issue until the age of eighteen. He seemed appreciate and kind-hearted. While he may be gone now, they can forever remember how far he had come and that he was happy with who he was. This is amazing.

Kim Jong Il, Leader Of North Korea, Is Dead
Forbes -
Kim Jong Il, supreme leader of North Korea, died Saturday of an apparent heart attack during a train ride, state television reported Monday. He was 69, according to official sources. Kim, known in his homeland as “The Lodestar of the 21st Century” and by more than 2,000 other titles, is reported to have had a history of serious ailments, including diabetes, stroke and pancreatic cancer. He may have been on dialysis at the time of his death. In North Korea, he was considered a “contemporary god.”
Kim formally assumed power over the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, as North Korea is formally known, in October 1997 by becoming General Secretary of the Korean Workers’ Party. His elevation to supreme leader, a little over three years after the death of father Kim Il Sung, was the first dynastic transfer of power in a communist-bloc state. The younger Kim also ruled the nation as Chairman of the National Defense Commission, the highest state institution in North Korea. His father, whose embalmed body is on display in Pyongyang, remains the country’s president.
It’s nice to see a man like Jong Il pass away after the many years of famine and poverty that he forced upon the people of North Korea. He was a dictator who enjoyed living lavishly, while draining the resources of his country for building a more militant regime focused on nuclear weaponry.
Kim spent a reported 25 percent of his country’s budget on Korea’s nuclear military and ambitions while his people were starving. He showed no apparent remorse for anything.
Today is a good day, although we still have to see what’s next for North Korea. That alone, is a terrifying idea.

[VIDEO] China: Loyal Dog Refuses To Leave Owner’s Grave
Lao Pan was a man of 68-years-old that recently died after living a single life with his yellow-haired dog who is seen in the video above, sitting by his grave. After he was determined deceased earlier this month his home in Panjiatun village near Qingdao city, Shandong Province was cleared and the dog had gone missing.
Villagers later stumbled upon the dog who was politely guarding the grave of his previous owner. Once the people in this village realized that the dog had been there around 7 days without eating any food or drinking any water, they brought the loyal dog back to the village and fed it some buns. The buns were taken back to the grave where the amazing dog had brought them.
Luckily, the villagers have now taken it upon themselves to bring water and food to the dog since it’s been refusing to leave its place. There has also been talks of building a kennel so the animal can feel more at home and stay relatively close to its owner, or should I say, friend.

Steve Jobs Has Officially Died!!!
Steve Jobs, co-founder of Apple Inc., has been reported as dead. On Apple’s Home Page, there is a dedication to the man that made Apple what it has become today, the richest company in America and the only true competitor in technology advancement.
From the Wall Street Journal -
“Steve’s brilliance, passion and energy were the source of countless innovations that enrich and improve all of our lives,” Apple said in a statement. “The world is immeasurably better because of Steve.”
His family, in a separate statement, said Mr. Jobs “died peacefully today surrounded by his family…We know many of you will mourn with us, and we ask that you respect our privacy during our time of grief.”
During his more than three decade-long career, Mr. Jobs transformed Silicon Valley as he helped turn the once sleepy expanse of fruit orchards into the technology industry’s innovation center. In addition to laying the groundwork for the modern high-tech industry alongside other pioneers like Microsoft Corp. co-founder Bill Gates and Oracle Corp. founder Larry Ellison, Mr. Jobs proved the appeal of well-designed intuitive products over the sheer power of technology itself and shifted the way consumers interact with technology in an increasingly digital world.
Unlike those men, however, the most productive chapter in Mr. Jobs’ career occurred near the end of his life, when a nearly unbroken string of innovative and wildly successful products like the iPod, iPhone and iPad fundamentally changed the PC, electronics and digital media industries. The way he marketed and sold those products through savvy advertising campaigns and its retail stores, in the meanwhile, helped turn the company into a pop culture icon.

Adopted Parents Of Ethiopian Girl, 13, Arrested For Homicide After Girl Found To Be Abused And Starved For Years
The young Ethiopian girl, Hana Williams, 13, was abused most of her life and finally died after her body could no longer endure the abuse. Her adopted parents, Larry and Carri Williams, had called 911 on May 12th to report that their daughter was not breathing.
According to Carri Williams, the girl was being rebellious and was wandering around the backyard staggering and falling down. She also refused to come inside and stripped herself naked before falling to the ground face down with mud in her mouth. This is a pitiful lie, that thank goodness, no one believed. Both Williams’ were arrested and jailed on a $500,00 bond.
Shortly after 1:30am, Hana Williams was pronounced dead due to hypothermia. She had lost around 30 lbs. in the two years leading up to her death and was unable to survive outside in the 42 degree weather. An autopsy also revealed there was malnutrition and a stomach infection which contributed to the poor girls death.
Larry and Carri Williams were also charged with first-degree child assault due to the regular physical abuse of Hana’s 10-year-old brother, who was adopted with her in 2008.
Both children were treated differently from the couple’s six biological children, who ranged in age from seven to 17, according to an affidavit from the Skagit County sheriff’s office.
The document alleges the Williams repeatedly denied Hana food, locked her in a dark closet and beat her with a long plastic tube.
They also made her sleep in a barn, shower outside with a garden hose and even sit outside while the family celebrated Christmas inside.
