Maggots are fucking gross they make my stomach turn, I'd rather piss shards of broken glass than to be infested with maggots.... Myiasis is the subject of the first installment of a new project im working on called 'Nightmare Fuel'.
We will see how this one goes and if people like it I'll make more, if people don't like then I wont.

heres some more videos of people infested with maggots
Case reports
41 years old female resident in Brazil, with history of psychiatric disorders, who lived with her 73 year old father and her husband, a known alcoholic with history of physical violence to both father-in-law and wife.
She suffered a knife injury to the 2nd finger of the left hand, and was not able to seek immediate medical care; instead a handkerchief was used to control the bleeding and cover the wound. Six months after, neighbours were warned by a strong odour emitting from the finger, and took the patient to seek medical care.
She was presented to the Emergency Department (ED) with a large area of finger necrosis and amputation, associated with cellulitis extending from the finger's base to the hand; at naked eye, one could observe the live larvae infesting the healthy tissue in drilled pocket-like holes under the skin (Fig. 1). In face of such an advanced lesion, asphyxiation or pharmacologic treatment alone would not suffice, and prompt treatment was conducted – broad-spectrum antibiotics and tetanic prophylaxis were initiated, and she was submitted to extended surgical resection (metacarpophalangeal disarticulation) and mechanical removal of 132 live larvae. Entomological study (morphological study) determined it to be Cochliomyia hominivorax (Diptera: Calliphoridae) – New World Screworm (NWS) – larvae. Besides infestation treatment, the socio-economic problems were identified and conducted to the proper social services.
A 52-year-old man presented with bilateral foot pain worsening on the left preventing him from ambulating. He recalled developing frostbite of all ten toes 4-5 months prior to admission, when at that time, he was admitted to a local hospital and underwent right transmetatarsal amputation but did not follow-up with his wound care. The patient was homeless and dwelled in shelters and abandoned houses. He reported developing erythema, tenderness and swelling of his left foot; however, he did not seek medical attention because he otherwise felt “ok.” He reported seeing maggots on the left foot but stated that “the maggots are fine, they are cleaning it out.” He denied fever, chills, nausea, vomiting, or lightheadedness. On physical examination, the patient's vital signs were normal except for mild tachycardia, which immediately resolved with one bolus of intravenous normal saline. His left foot (Figures 1 and 2) revealed severe skin ulceration extending to the mid-foot, exposing all phalangeal bones, and many colonies of maggots. There was surrounding erythema, swelling, tenderness and malodor, but otherwise clean margins with no necrotic tissue or purulence. Left peripheral pulses were normal at the dorsal pedis. Laboratory tests revealed no leukocytosis, lactic acidosis, and negative serial blood cultures. Imaging revealed acute on chronic osteomyelitis of left foot. The patient underwent an uncomplicated left below knee amputation and revision of previous right transmetatarsal amputation. He was discharged to rehabilitation but has not adhered to outpatient wound follow-up.
An 80 years-old female patient was brought to Accident & Emergency Department of a hospital in southern Poland by ambulance, presenting with a large ulcerative lesion covering most of the right side of her face and the nose. The wound was approximately 15x12 cm and encompassed the right eye socket with missing eye bulb; one could see moving maggots surrounded by liquefied tissues. The patient was in poor general status, not able to move and with very little mental contact, severely dehydrated with yellowish skin colour and visibly malnourished and hygienically neglected
The patient was found by accident during a police intervention in a flat inhabited by her alcoholic son. By accounts of her son, she was recently bedridden and an ulcerating lesion on her face was possibly noted many months before. There was no medical care sought and the sanitary conditions in the living quarters were very poor.
A 60-year-old male, smoker, and alcoholic patient with OSCC, who refused initial cancer treatment and sought hospital care with an extensive facial lesion and approximately 150 larvae in the extraoral region. The treatment was given through the administration of 6 mg of Ivermectin associated with the surgical removal of the larvae. Subsequently, palliative chemotherapy began.
44-year-old man diagnosed with invasive oral squamous cell carcinoma. The treatment consisted of manual removal of the larvae and cleaning with aqueous chlorhexidin. The patient's management was antisepsis, larval removal, and general care, performed weekly. The patient died 2 months later.
After a minor motor vehicle accident, police brought a 75-year-old man to the emergency room because he was observed to have a large cranial lesion. Examination revealed a 15 x 17 cm frontal bone defect with eroded frontal dura, exposed cortex, and massive cortical maggot infestation.
The patient was empirically treated with intravenous antibiotics for meningitis. Maggots (Phaenicia sericata, or the green bottle fly) were removed by suction, attrition, and gentle contact exposure to a mild bleach solution. Biopsy of the scalp and cranium revealed angiosarcoma, for which operative treatment was refused. The patient was transferred to a skilled nursing facility for palliative care where he died 3 months later.
43-year old homeless alcoholic male had gangrene of the scrotum and penis, urethro-cutaneous urinary fistula with numerous live and motile larvae on the surfaces. In both patients, some larvae were removed and sent to the lab for identification. The larvae were identified as maggots of the fly Luciliasericata. Antibiotic therapy, disinfection, and debridement with sterile covering of the wound were used. RESULTS For both patients, complex treatment of myiasis was successful, and patient recovered without parasitic consequences
Patient 73 years old, born in São Paulo. He reported an ulcerated lesion on the penis for eight months with progression in size during the period and also local pain and left inguinal nodulation. The main comorbidities were diabetes mellitus, hypertension, varicose ulcers in both lower limbs and obesity. There was no family history of neoplastic disease. The patient underwent incisional biopsy of the penile lesion. The diagnosis was invasive squamous cell carcinoma
After chest X-ray and computed tomography of the abdomen and pelvis, he was clinically staged as EcT2cN2M0. The proposal was partial amputation of the penis. While the patient waited to be called for surgery, he presented himself at the emergency room, with local bleeding and larvae emerging from the lesion. On the same date, he underwent treatment of penile squamous cell carcinoma and myiasis through partial penectomy
The anatomopathological report showed a squamous cell carcinoma of 6.0 × 4.4 × 3.3 cm, moderately differentiated infiltrating the glans, foreskin and balanoprepucial groove. Absence of infiltration of the cavernous and spongy body. There were free surgical margins. He evolved without dehiscence or infection of the postoperative wound, being discharged on the second postoperative day and receiving an outpatient orientation after antimicrobial treatment with clindamycin for ten days for scheduling bilateral inguinal lymphadenectomy
a 67-year-old homeless woman with hearing impairment who is living in extremely poor sanitary conditions and was taken by a friend to the gynecology service of a public hospital from Cali, Colombia. The patient presented with a clinical picture of undetermined onset, consisting of ulcerated lesions in the vulvar region, tenderness, and multiple larvae coming out of her vagina (Figure 1). Obstetric and gynecologic history was unknown. On physical examination, she had an edematous vulva, with multiple live maggots in the vulvar vestibule. After initial extraction of maggots, necrotic tissue, edema, friable tissue, and erythema was evident in the vulvar region and introitus.
She was admitted to the hospital for management and for investigation. She was initially evaluated by the gynecology team, and direct examination revealed multiple larvae in the vulvar vestibule and introitus. She was also evaluated by a multidisciplinary team, including clinical nutrition and psychiatry and was tested for other infections. During her stay, she was diagnosed with HIV, syphilis, and schizophrenia.
Although several larvae were extracted, no specimen was sent for larval species identification. Identifying the species may not change the treatment but is important to understand the epidemiology of local urogenital myiasis. It has been recommended that at least one maggot should be sent to the laboratory for identification of the species for epidemiologic purposes
An 85-year-old female patient was admitted to the Department of Ophthalmology, Dicle University Faculty of Medicine, with the complaint of a wound in her right eye for over 1 year. Larvae had been in the same eye for 1 week. The patient had a history of an acne-like lesion for 7 years in her lower eyelid, which had been excised 2 years previously in another clinic. One year after excision it had recurred in the same region. Despite all our attempts, we could not obtain the documents on the patient's initial surgery.
The clinical examination showed no light perception in her right eye; the eyelid was thickened and there was a necrotic, loose tissue lesion 3×4 cm in diameter, invading inferiorly into the upper side of the maxilla, superiorly to the roof of the orbita, medially to the lateral part of the nose, and laterally to the ossa zygomatica (Figure 1).The conjunctiva was hyperemic, the cornea was cloudy, the iris was normal, pupils were normal, and light responses were absent. There was a cataract in the lens of the right eye and the fundus could not be examined.
Light-sensitive and motile larvae were detected in the lesion. With forceps, 71 larvae were extracted from the lesion within 48 hours (Figure 2). The larvae had 12 segments and were 8–15 mm in length. By parasitological examination, it was determined that the larvae were in the third developmental phase of Hypoderma bovis, a member of the Oestridae family.
Visual acuity in the patient's left eye was 2/200 and intraocular pressure was 15 mm Hg. Anterior segment findings were normal except for an inferiorly dislocated lens with cataract. By ultrasound, both globes were evaluated as normal. A 3×4 cm-diameter solid mass with heterogeneous density filled the right maxillary sinus, and superiorly reached the nasal bone and medial rectus muscle. The impaired bone structure in the right eye was detected by computed tomography (CT). No escaped larvae were detected in the CT scan. The ocular bulbus, retrobulbar space, extraocular muscles and optic nerve were normal in the left eye. No intracranial invasion was found by CT. No metastasis was detected in other examinations.
Orbital exenteration, total maxillectomy and graft repair were conducted in the right eye. Pathological examination confirmed basal cell carcinoma. During the six-month period of follow-up, orbital tomography and clinical examinations were performed, and the patient was examined and evaluated for recurrence and metastasis.

Richard Cottingham claims to have started killing as an adolescent and has claimed to have killed as many as 100. Cottingham often sought female sex workers in their late teens to mid twenties and is believed to have killed people in Florida, Connecticut, New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Baltimore. He would approach his victims in bars, drug them, take them to a remote location and would bind, gag, torture, and stab them before killing them by strangulation or asphyxiation. Trophies like jewelry and other personal items belonging to his victims were taken by him.

Arthur Shawcross
Shawcross was born on June 6, 1945, and died on November 10, 2008, while serving a life sentence for the murder of 11 women. From his birthplace of Kittery, Maine, his family moved to Watertown, a small town near Lake Ontario in New York State, when he was still a child. Shawcross claims that his adolescence was turbulent, and cites a difficult relationship with both parents, particularly his domineering mother, for his later troubles. He says he also exhibited behavioral problems at an early age, including bed-wetting and bullying.
Shawcross also made extreme reports about his early sexuality. He claimed his aunt sexually molested him when he was 9, and that he had sexual relations with his younger sister. He also admitted to his first homosexual encounter at the age of 11, which he says was followed by experimentation with bestiality.
In contrast to these claims, however, his parents and siblings maintain that he had a normal childhood, and the described events were largely the product of his imagination. There is no way of knowing whose version represents the reality of his upbringing, but what became clear, later on, was that Shawcross would change his stories at will, as he was interviewed by various professionals in the course of their investigations.
From school records it can be independently verified that he was an inveterate truant, with a particularly low IQ, a tendency to bullying and violence and that he came under suspicion for a series of juvenile arson attacks as well as burglaries. He dropped out of school after failing to pass the ninth grade, and the next few years were punctuated with violence and jail sentences. He received his first probationary sentence in December 1963 for smashing a shop window.
Shawcross married first wife, Sarah, in September 1964. The couple produced a son in October 1965. But another probationary charge for unlawful entry in November 1965, proved the last straw for his marriage and he was divorced soon after.
His second marriage, following drafting into the Army in April 1967, was also tainted by violence and was equally short-lived. He served a tour of duty in the Vietnam War in October 1967, and he later claimed that he murdered and cannibalized two young Vietnamese girls and several children while there. There is no corroborating evidence to support this, however. He also claimed a "combat kill" total of 39 which, when investigated later, was also discounted as fabrication; authorities claim he killed no one on his tour of duty.
On his return from military duty in 1968, he landed in trouble yet again when he was caught and convicted for an arson attack. Shawcross served two years of a five-year jail term. He was released in October 1971 and returned to Watertown again. A year later, on April 7, 1972, he claimed his first victim: 10-year-old neighbor Jack Blake. Shawcross took him fishing just a few days before he disappeared, but denied any knowledge of the disappearance. Several weeks later on April 22, 1972, he married his third wife, Penny Sherbino, who was pregnant with his child.
Five months later, his victim's body was finally located. He had been sexually assaulted and suffocated, but police had no leads to the identity of the killer. Jack Blake would be the first of many more victims.
In September 1972, the body of 8-year-old Karen Ann Hill was found under a bridge. She had been raped and murdered. Police found mud, leaves and other debris had been forced down her throat and inside her clothing. Neighbors remembered that Shawcross had been seen with Karen in the vicinity of the bridge before her disappearance, and he had a history of minor run-ins with local children. Shawcross came under immediate suspicion.
He was arrested on October 3, 1972, and finally confessed to both killings, although he was only charged with Karen Hill's killing, given the lack of evidence tying him to Jack Blake's death. He received a 25-year jail sentence, and third wife Penny divorced him shortly thereafter.
After serving less than 15 years of this sentence, he was released on parole in April 1987. The well-publicized resettlement of a child killer in the Binghamton area of New York State was greeted by a public outcry, and he was forced to leave the area after a few months along with his new girlfriend, Rose Whalley.
His past meant that he would be unwelcome almost anywhere, and the authorities made the decision to seal his criminal record in order to prevent a recurrence of the public alarm in Binghamton. They moved Shawcross and Whalley to Rochester, New York, where she became his fourth wife. In Rochester, Shawcross took on a succession of menial jobs. His lackluster marriage to Whalley meant that he was soon seeking solace elsewhere, both from prostitutes as well as his new girlfriend, Clara Neal.
It did not take long for Shawcross to return to his murderous ways. Hunters discovered his next victim, 27-year-old prostitute Dorothy Blackburn, on March 24, 1988. Her body was found in the Genesee River, dumped there following a vicious attack, which included bite marks in the groin area and strangulation.
With little evidence, and no public impetus to solve the murder of a prostitute, her case languished for over a year. There were other murders of prostitutes in that time but, given the danger of the profession, nothing untoward was noticed that linked any of the cases.
The discovery of the body of another prostitute, Anna Steffen, on September 9, 1989, linked several of the victims. She died of asphyxia, and her body had been dumped in a similar manner to Blackburn's corpse. Her body, however, was found far from the original murder scene, so again the possibility that a serial killer was at work was not recognized.
On October 21, 1989, the body of homeless woman Dorothy Keeler, aged 59, was discovered followed six days later by another prostitute, Patricia Ives, in the same area. Both had been asphyxiated and the press started to show an interest as the cases were linked. They nicknamed the offender "Genesee River Killer."
In all the previous cases at least some attempt at concealment had been made, which police felt indicated previous criminal or military experience. They began to advise prostitutes working in the area to exercise caution, and sought as much information as possible about strangers operating in the area. They also began checking criminal records for offenders who might be living in the immediate area. Shawcross' sealed criminal record meant that he shielded him from police scrutiny.
As prostitutes continued to disappear, it became apparent that the killer must be someone familiar to the women who worked in the area. Police were able to piece together a description of a regular client called "Mitch" or "Mike." Women said this particular john was prone to violence.
Then the body of 26-year-old June Stott, who was neither a prostitute nor drug user, was found on Thanksgiving Day. She had been strangled, anally mutilated after death, had her labia removed, and was gutted from throat to crotch like a wild animal.
With the body count mounting, the police sought assistance from FBI profilers. They divided the 11 unsolved prostitute murders into sub-groups according to method and position. They developed a profile that described the killer as a white male in his 20s or 30s, who was strong, probably with a previous criminal record, familiar with the area, and comfortable enough with the victims that they would enter his vehicle without question.
The lack of sexual interference indicated it might be someone with sexual dysfunction. The post-mortem injury inflicted on June Stott, and not on any other victim, indicated that the killer was becoming more comfortable around corpses, probably returning to the crime scene again later to relive the attack.
The discovery of the body of Elizabeth Gibson, on November 27, brought a breakthrough: suspect "Mitch" had been seen with her shortly before her disappearance, but they seemed no closer to establishing his identity. Police tried various tactics, including canvassing all the local bars, to no avail.
When a pair of discarded jeans was discovered near the river on December 31, 1989, containing an ID card for a girl named Felicia Stephens, police began an aerial search of the surrounding area. On January 2, 1990, a helicopter spotted what appeared to be a naked female body lying on the ice surface of the river by a bridge in the forest. The body was not Felicia Stephens but that of missing prostitute June Cicero. She had also been mutilated post-mortem, as well as sawn practically in half.
Even more importantly, the helicopter spotted a man standing on the bridge next to a small van. He appeared to be either masturbating or urinating. Fortunately for the authorities, Shawcross had, as speculated, returned to the scene of one of his crimes to relive the pleasure of the attack.
Patrol teams on the ground were alerted to the vehicle, which had sped away. They finally tracked down Shawcross via the car's registration, which was in the name of his girlfriend Clara Neal. When approached, Shawcross agreed to assist the police with their enquiries. When they asked for his driver's license, he admitted he did not have one and then revealed that he had been in jail for manslaughter.
Police were confident they had their killer, and further questioning revealed the earlier child deaths and a grandiose account of his Vietnam War service, which was later discounted. A photo taken of him during the initial questioning soon confirmed his identity as "Mitch," and official enquiries unearthed the reason for Shawcross' sealed record, which prevented the police from tracking him down sooner.
Still, police were unable to get Shawcross to admit to the murders — until they confirmed that a piece of jewelery he had given to Clara Neal previously belonged to victim June Cicero. When police threatened to implicate her in the killings, Shawcross capitulated and admitted to most of the murders, giving detailed excuses about why he had been "forced" to kill each one. He even admitted to the killing of two undiscovered bodies, those of prostitutes Maria Welsh and Darlene Trippi, leading investigators to their bodies. His formal confession was nearly 80 pages long.
In November 1990, Shawcross went on trial for the 10 murders that had occurred in Monroe County. The last victim, Elizabeth Gibson, had been killed in neighboring Wayne County. The trial was a national media event, extensively televised and widely viewed.
Shawcross' defense team tried to build a case based on an insanity plea, citing various mitigating factors, such as his upbringing, post-traumatic stress as a result of military service, a cyst on the brain and a rare genetic defect.
The prosecution was quick to dispute the claims about his childhood and military service, casting doubts on Shawcross' testimony. The physiological evidence about brain science and genetic factors was, at best, spurious and beyond the understanding of the jury. It was also hindered by poor presentation on the part of the expert witnesses called to testify.
Shawcross was declared sane — and guilty of 10 instances of second-degree murder. The judge sentenced him to 25 years for each count, a total of 250 years imprisonment. A few months later, Shawcross was taken to Wayne County to be tried for Elizabeth Gibson's murder. Rather than claim insanity this time, he pleaded guilty and received a further life sentence.
Shawcross was held at the Sullivan Correctional Facility in New York State until November 10, 2008, when he complained of pain in his leg. He was transferred to a hospital where he died later that day of cardiac arrest.

Manhattan at night
https://newyorkpass.com/en/blog/mesmerizing-photos-new-york-city-night
As a child, Richard Kuklinski was abused by both of his parents. His father was an alcoholic that beat him daily. After becoming intoxicated and beating Richard's older brother Florian to death, his father abandoned the family. Life was not easier after his abusive father left; his mother hit him routinely, believing her children should be raised in a strict household. Abusive parents weren't Richard's only difficulty; because of his small size, he was an easy target for neighborhood bullies. In an effort to cope with his anger, young Richard mutilated cats and dogs to make himself feel more powerful.
In 1948, when Richard was 13 years old, he got his revenge on the leader of a small neighborhood gang that had been bullying him. After years of torment, Richard snapped and beat Charley Lane to death with a wooden dowel. After Richard killed him, he cut Charley's fingers off with a hatchet and pulled his teeth out with pliers to prevent the body from being identified. Richard then went after the rest of Charley's gang and beat them all nearly to death with an iron rod. In a later interview, he said that this is when he learned, “That it was better to give than to receive.”
As he got older, Richard became a well known pool shark in his area. He was feared by many because of his short fuse. In his spare time in Manhattan he would kill anyone that he felt had rubbed him the wrong way. He would shoot, stab, and bludgeon men to death but as a rule, he would never kill women. Sometimes he would dump the bodies in the Hudson River and other times he would just leave the body where it died. In later interviews, he said that this was a type of lab or training ground for his later career, experimenting with what felt right.
Through a connection with Roy DeMeo, Richard began working for the Gambino Crime Family, pirating pornographic films. He eventually became an enforcer for the Gambino Family, making sure debts were paid through violence. Standing at the monstrous height of 6 feet, 5 inches and weighing in at almost 300 pounds, he was extremely intimidating, and higher-ups in the family took notice. Richard was put to the test when Roy selected a target at random on the street and ordered Richard to kill him. Richard walked up to a man walking a dog and shot him in the back of the head. From that point on, Richard Kuklinski was Roy's favorite enforcer. Richard continued to do hits for the Gambino Crime Family, killing anyone who crossed them, including witnesses, cops, and rivals. Over the course of his 30-year career, Richard claimed that he had killed over 200 people.
Richard was a jack of all trades when it came to killing people; he had no preference for a weapon or style, which made him even harder to catch. He used handguns, crossbows, sawed-off shotguns, blunt objects, knives, and cyanide. Richard would sometimes administer poison to his targets by means of injection, placing it in people's food, aerosol spray, or by simply spilling it onto the victim's skin. He earned the nickname, “The Iceman,” because he would occasionally place his victims in freezers after he murdered them and leave them there for years until he dumped the bodies. This confused investigators who could not figure out time of death because the victims had been frozen.
It was an undercover agent who finally caught up with Richard Kuklinski in 1986. His claims launched a joint investigation by New Jersey's district attorney, the FBI, and ATF. On December 17, 1986 Richard Kuklinski was arrested after investigators staged a cyanide purchase deal. Investigators used undercover agent Dominick Polifrone's testimony to convict Richard. In March 1988 a jury found him guilty of five murders and he was sentenced to consecutive life sentences at Trenton State prison which made him ineligible for parole until he turned 110. While in prison, Richard agreed to various interviews about his former hit man life style. His most famous interview was with HBO called, The Iceman Interviews. While in prison, Richard claimed that he was involved in Jimmy Hoffa's disappearance. Richard claims that he stabbed him with a hunting knife and placed his body inside a barrel which was put inside a car that was later crushed.
Richard Kuklinski died on March 5, 2006 at the age of 70. His death was labeled suspicious because Richard was supposed to testify against a former mobster who was being tried for murder. An autopsy was performed but they determined that he died due to natural causes. His life also inspired the 2012 movie The Iceman

Richard chase
On December 29, 1977, Chase killed his first known victim in a drive-by shooting. The victim, Ambrose Griffin, was a 51-year-old engineer and father of two.
Two weeks later, he attempted to enter the home of a woman, but because her doors were locked, he walked away. Chase later told detectives that he took locked doors as a sign that he was not welcome, but unlocked doors were an invitation to come inside. On one occasion, he was caught and chased off by a couple returning home as he pilfered their belongings; he had also urinated and defecated on their infant child's bed and clothing.
On January 23, 1978, Chase broke into a house and shot Teresa Wallin (three months pregnant at the time) three times. He then had sexual intercourse with her corpse while stabbing her with a butcher's knife. He then removed multiple organs, cut off one of her nipples and drank her blood. He stuffed dog feces from Wallin's yard down her throat before leaving.
On January 27, Chase entered the home of 38-year-old Evelyn Miroth. He encountered her friend, Danny Meredith, whom he shot with his .22 handgun. He then fatally shot Miroth, her six-year-old son Jason, and her 22-month-old nephew David Ferreira, before mutilating Miroth and engaging in necrophilia and cannibalism with her corpse. A visitor's knock on the door startled Chase, who fled in Meredith's car, taking Ferreira's body with him. The visitor alerted a neighbor, who called police. They discovered that Chase had left complete handprints and shoe imprints in Miroth's blood. Chase was arrested shortly afterwards; police who searched Chase's apartment found that the walls, floor, ceiling, refrigerator, and all of Chase's eating and drinking utensils were soaked in blood.

In the United States, Canada, the UK, along with most European countries, South America countries, Russia, Australia, and Japan, and most of China, the Whittaker family is considered highly inbred.
but some countries like Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and pretty much all of the Middle East, most of Africa and all small isolated islands, this first cousin shit is the norm, and has been for a long ass time.... in fact, the Egyptian Pharaohs were hooking up with their siblings... that's why king Tutankaman was such a frail, sickly, awkward motherfucker, he was the result several generations of sibling marriages...
its almost a guarantee that cleopatra was the result of an affair and that's why she wasn't a fucktard like all the rest.

Michael ross
Between 1981 and 1984, Ross murdered eight girls and women aged between 14 and 25 in Connecticut and New York.[6] He raped seven out of his eight murder victims. He also was alleged to have raped, but not killed, a 21-year-old woman named Vivian Dobson in 1983 and a woman named Candace Farris in Indiana. Plainfield police rejected the possibility that Ross had been Vivian Dobson's rapist. They did not press charges and Ross made no confession.
Ross confessed to the eight murders and was convicted for the last four of them. He was sentenced to death on July 6, 1987, in Connecticut by judge G. Sarsfield Ford. In 2001, while on death row, Ross pleaded guilty to first degree manslaughter for killing Paula Perrera in New York in 1982, and was sentenced to 8 and 1/3 to 25 years in prison. He spent almost 18 years on death row before his execution in May 2005.

On October 8, 1860, Boston newspapers announced that painter turned photographer James Wallace Black would photograph Boston from a hot-air balloon hovering over the city. On October 13th, a balloon carried Black 1,200 feet over Boston, and he exposed eight plates. The photographer got one good print; he entitled it "Boston as the Eagle and the Wild Goose See It." The Herald printed the image.
In an account written by Samuel King, who supplied the balloon and was with Black when he made his photograph, described the feat. The first images were taken while the balloon was still tethered. Hoping to get an even more spectacular view from higher altitudes, the rope was detached. However, King noted that something unexpected happened at that point: "The gas, expanding as the balloon rose, . . . filled the surrounding atmosphere, penetrating even into the camera, neutralizing the effect of the light, and turning the coating on the glass plate to a uniform dark brown color." Several plates were spoiled and the effort had to be scrapped. Luckily, Black had already captured at least one good image of Boston from above.
Nasa's Parker Solar Probe
The Parker solar probe may not look like a super fast spaceship, but it is.... it's really, really, really fast, in fact the Parker solar probe is the fastest man-made object to ever exist. On September 27th 2023 this space probe was clocked in at a blistering 394,736 mph! And it hasn't even reached it's max speed yet. Scientists estimate it will reach it's top speed in late 2024 when it makes it's final trip past our star, scientists estimate it will hit a speed of over 430,000 mph!

David Ray Parker
Ray's “Toy Box” contained a gynecologist-type table in the middle with a mirror mounted to the ceiling so that his victims could see the horrors delivered upon them. Littering the floor were whips, chains, pulleys, straps, clamps, leg spreader bars, surgical blades, saws, and numerous sex toys.
Authorities also found a wooden contraption, which was apparently used to immobilize Ray's victims while he and his friends raped them.
Chilling diagrams on the walls showed different methods for inflicting pain.

The Dyatlov Pass
The Dyatlov Pass incident is the "mysterious" deaths of nine ski hikers in the northern Ural Mountains on February 2, 1959. The group consisted of eight men and two women. Most were students or graduates of Ural Polytechnical Institute. The goal of the 14 day expedition was to reach Otorten, a mountain 12 miles north of the site of the incident. This route, in the winter was estimated to be a category III, the most difficult category rating at that time. All members were experienced in long ski tours and mountain expeditions. The group arrived by train at Ivdel, a city at the center of the northern province of Sverdlovsk Oblast on January 25. They then took a truck to the last inhabited settlement (Vizhay) far north . They started their march toward Otorten from Vizhay on January 27. The next day, one of the members (Yuri Yudin) was forced to go back because of illness. Diaries and cameras found around their last camp made it possible to track group's route up to the day preceding the incident.
The hike started out fairly late on February 1 and only traveled 2.5 miles that day. Excess gear and food was stored on a platform in the forest called labaz, or camp base. Camp was set up around 5 pm on a slope of Kholat Syakhl just 10 miles from Mount Otorten. They had their dinner around 6-7 pm and one or two members of the group went outside to relieve themselves, presumably Semyon Zolotaryov and Nikolay Thibeaux-Brignolle, since they were found to have been better dressed than the others. Then something went catastrophically wrong.
It had been agreed beforehand that Dyatlov would send a telegram to their sports club as soon as the group returned to Vizhay. It was expected that this would happen no later than February 12, but Dyatlov had told Yudin that he expected to be longer, and so when date passed and no message had been received there was no immediate reaction. Delays of few days were common in such expeditions. Only after the relatives of the travelers demanded a rescue operation did the head of the institute send the first rescue groups consisting of volunteer students and teachers, on February 21. Later, the army and police forces became involved, with planes and helicopters being ordered to join the rescue operation.
On February 26, the searchers found the abandoned and badly damaged tent on Kholat Syakhl. Mihail Sharavin, the student who found the tent said: "the tent was half torn down and covered with snow. It was empty, and all the group's belongings and shoes had been left behind." Investigators said the tent had been cut open from inside and that skiers had fled in socks or barefoot. A chain of eight or nine sets of footprints, left by several people who were wearing socks, a single shoe or barefoot, could be followed and led down towards the edge of nearby woods.
At the forest edge, under a large old cedar, the search party found the remains of a fire, along with the first two bodies, those of Yuri Krivoshenko and Yuri Doroshenko, shoeless and dressed only in their underwear.
The branches on the tree were broken up to five meters high. The medical examiner recorded livor mortis on the back, but Krivonischenko was found facing up. This indicated that someone had moved them after their death.
On February 27 between the cedar and the tent the searchers found Igor Dyatlov and Zinaida Kolmogorova], and 6 days later on March 5th Rustem Slobodin. The three seemed to have died in poses suggesting that they were attempting to return to the tent. A medical examination found no injuries which might have led to their deaths, and it was concluded that they had died of hypothermia. Slobodin had a small crack in his skull, but it was not thought to be a fatal wound. A legal inquest started immediately after finding the first five bodies. Searching for the remaining four hikers took more than two months.
They were finally found on May 5 under four meters of snow in a ravine 50 m farther into the woods from the cedar tree. These four were better dressed than the others, and there were signs that those who had died first had apparently relinquished their clothes to the others. Thibeaux-Brignolle was wearing Dubinina's fur coat and hat, Dubinina's was wearing a brown sweater that tested radioactive and was most probably Krivonischenko's, Zolotaryov had Doroshenko's hat, and Kolevatov was wearing Doroshenko's overalls, the waistband of his sweater and lower part of his ski trousers tested radioactive. An examination of the four bodies found in May changed the course of the whole investigation. Three of them had fatal injuries: the body of Thibeaux-Brignolle had major skull damage, and both Dubinina and Zolotaryov had major chest fractures. According to Dr. Boris Vozrozhdenny, the force required to cause such damage would have been extremely high. He compared it to the force of a car crash. Notably, the bodies had no external wounds as if they were crippled by a high level of pressure. Dubinina was found to be missing her tongue. The group clearly realized their threats and did everything they could to preserve themselves. They had managed to dig out a den in the snow, lay it down with branches in an effort to keep themselves warm. But the things were about to get even more bizarre. Bodies were actually found few feet from their improvised shelter in the deep part of the ravin. Some of the clothes taken from the bodies underneath the cedar tree were placed on the cedar branches, but apparently they were not used.

DYATLOV GROUP'S DIARY
January 23
We're on the road again! We are now sitting in room 531, or rather of course not sitting but frantically shoving into backpacks oatmeal, cans, canned meat. The head of provision distribution (zavhoz) is overseeing that everybody gets everything.
Where are my felt boots? Y. K. (Yuri Krivonischenko) Can we play mandolin on the train?
Of course! We forgot the salt! 3kg
Igor! Where are you? Where is Doroshenko? Why didn't he take 20 packs? Give me 15 kopecks (cents) to call. The scales, where are the scales? It doens't fit, dam it. Who has the knife?
Yuri take this to the station.
Slav Halizov just got here.
Hello, hello! Can I get 15 kopeks?
Lyuda is counting the money, lots of money. The room is an artistic mess.
And here we are on the train. We sang all the songs that we know, learned new ones, everyone goes to sleep at 3 (am). I wonder what awaits us in this trip? What will we encounter? The boys solemnly swore not to smoke the entire trip. I wonder how much will power they have to get by without cigarettes? Everybody is falling asleep, and behind the window Ural taiga is spread in all directions.
Z. Kolmogorova
January 23 - The group leaves Sverdlovsk (Yekaterinburg today)
January 24
7.00 (am) We arrived in Serov (town). We traveled with Blinov group. They have... things for hunting and other accessories. At the station we were met with hell of a hospitality. They didn't allow us into the building. The policeman stares at us suspiciously. There is no crime or vandalism in the city, as it suppose to be in times of communism. And then Yuri Krivo started a song, the cops grabbed him and took him away.
At the attention of citizen Krivonischenko, sergeant explained that the rules of §3 prohibited all activity that would disturb the peace of passengers. It is perhaps the only train station where the songs are forbidden, so we stayed without singing.
Finally everything is settled by end fo the day. We are leaving Serov to Ivdel at 6:30 pm. We were welcomed warmly in the school near the railway station. The steward (she is also a janitor) boiled some water, and helped us with everything we needed for the preparation for the trek.
We have the whole day free. We want to go to the city, to visit the nature museum or take a trip to a factory, but too much time is passed in distribution of equipment and cleaning it.
12.00 In the interval between 1st and 2nd shifts in school we organized meeting with pupils. The room crammed with so many curious children.
Zolotaryov: "Kids, I will tell you now... Tourism is, enables you to..." Everyone is still, quiet, engaged.
Z. Kolmogorova: Tra-ta-ta-ta, what's your name, you went where, awesome, you have been camping, she went on and on...
Questions didn't end. We had to explain and show to every kid everything, from torches to tents. It took us 2 hours, and kids didn't want to let us go. They sang songs to each other. The whole school saw us at the station. Everything ended as expected, when we were leaving, the kids yelled and cried, asking Zina to stay with them. They promised to behave and study well.
In the train cart a young drunk accused us of stealing his booze from his pocket. For the second time this day the cops were involved.
Discussion about love provoked by Z. Kolmogorova. Songs, tickets check, Dubinina under the seats, garlic with bread and no water, and we arrived in Ivdel around 12am.
Large waiting room. Total freedom of action. We took shifts to watch over our stuff all night long. Bus to Vizhay leaves early in the morning.
Yudin
Around midnight the Dyatlov group arrives in Ivdel located 520 km (320 mi) North of their starting point.
25 january 1959.
We got up at half past five, quickly gathered and left for the city of Ivdel with the first bus. After an hour of waiting, we managed to grab a bus (such as GAZ-51). The twenty-five-seater bus was forced to accommodate a full twenty-five plus twenty backpacks packed to capacity and as many pairs of skis. We were full up to the ceiling. First layer passengers sat on the seats, on a pile of skis, on backpacks. Second layer passengers sat on the backs of the seats, finding a place for legs on the shoulders of comrades. It was not so tight, however, as not to sing, so we did it almost all the way to Vizhay.
The trip was not uneventful. The bus made a small detour away from the highway, in the village of Shipichnoe, and we were given the chance to step out, which we did with pleasure. Four of the most agile went far ahead to the settlement of Talitsa to see the power station. Suddenly they heard: "The bus." We rush out the door, but, alas, it was too late. The bus passed by and we were forced to chance after it as fast as we can, hoping fate would be merciful and, perhaps, we would catch up with it (I am part of the "agile" four). However, the first hundred meters clearly demonstrated the advantages of a fifty horse power engine. Our heels flashed far behind the bus, and the gap widened. The prospect to walk about thirty kilometers on the highway with no breakfast and lunch already seemed quite real, when suddenly ... I mentioned that fate is merciful. The mercy came in the form of a girl going to Vizhay that hailed the bus and stopped the object of our persecution. A minute later we were already safely sitting on the second floor of the seats and traveling to Vizhay. We arrived in Vizhay about two pm. It turned out that we can continue our automobile journey in the next morning.
Warmly said goodbye to Blinov's group, who went further (to the west of Vizhay in the deep forest area). After dinner, which was held in a warm "friendly atmosphere," we moved to the "hotel", which was the usual hut with three windows. We went to the cinema, leaving "home" Doroshenko and Kolevatov. We watched the "Symphonie in Gold", came back in "musical mood". Now we are busy getting ready the equipment. Tonight, according to the local commandant, we will leave on.
Kolevatov.
January 26
We slept in so-called hotel. Two people per bed. Sasha K. (Aleksander Kolevatov) and Krivo (Yuri Krivonischenko) slept on the floor between beds. Woke up at 9 am. Everyone sleep well despite the fact we did not completely close the small window and room got a bit cold.
Outside temperature is -17°C.
We did not boil water in the morning, wood was damp. In the evening it took us 6 hours to boil the water. Had breakfast in the dining room, goulash and tea.
When they handed us the lukewarm tea, Gosya (Igor) Dyatlov said with a smirk: "If the tea is cold, then go drink it outside, it will be hot." Original thought. We negotiated to go to Settlement 41 by a truck.
We started at 13.10, and arrived at 16.30. We froze pretty good at the back of GAZ-63.
While traveling we sang songs, discussed various topics like love, friendship, cancer illness and cures.
In Settlement 41 we were greeted warmly, they gave us a separate room in the hostel. We talked a lot with the local workers. I remembered particularly the red- bearded man. The Beard, that's what his friends call him.
Ognev is an old friend, he is described in Lyuda Dubinina's private diary.
Lunch was served, we ate and now we are resting. Some of the group is watching a movie in the adjacent room. The rest of the group is rummaging through their backpacks. Rustik (Rustem Slobodin) is playing his mandolin, while talking with Kolya (Nikolay Thibeaux-Brignolle). I am going to do some adjustment to the equipment.

January 26 - the group leaves Vizhay and gets a ride with GAZ-63 truck to 41st district
1.27.59
The weather's really good. The wind is at our backs, and the lads made a deal with the locals for a horse to drive us to Second North settlement.
But it will be about 24 km from the 41st Settlement. We helped Uncle Slava unload hay from a carriage and waited for the horse (it went to get more hay and wood).
The boys started copying some songs. One man sang beautifully. We heard a number of illegal prison songs (Article 58 counter-revolutionary crimes). Ognev told Igor how to find a loghouse in which to spend the night. We waited until 4:00 pm.
Before that we bought four loaves of bread. Soft warm bread. We ate 2 loaves.
The horse is slow. What a pleasure to go without backpacks.
We covered 8 km in 2 hours. (River Ushma).
It's getting dark. The horse is causing the delay. Yuri Yudin is still with us. He suddenly fell ill and he can't continue with the trek. He wants to gather few minerals for the University and return.
Second North is an abandoned geological site consisting of 20-25 houses. Only one is suitable for living. In complete darkness we found a village and the house. We started a fire with wood boards. Smoke came form the stove. Several people hurt their hands on old nails. Everything is well. Then the horse came. We were talking and joking till 3 in the morning.
Doroshenko
January 27 - Dyatlov group leaves 41st district with uncle Slava, backpacks on a sled pulled by a horse, skiing towards 2nd Norther setlement
January 28
We were awaken by the rumbling voices of Yurka Kri (Yuri Krivonischenko) and Sasha Kolevatov (Aleksander Kolevatov). Weather so far is smiling at us. It's only -8°C outside.
After breakfast, some of the guys lead by Yuri Yudin, our well- known geologist, went to look for local minerals. They didn't find anything except pyrite and quartz veins in the rock. Took them long time to wax their skis and adjust the mounting. Yuri Yudin goes back home today. It is a pity, of course, that he leaves us. Especially for me and Zina, but nothing can be done about it.
Started at 11.45. We go up the river Lozva. We take turns to head the group for about 10 minutes. Snow cover is significantly less than last year. We have to stop and scrape the wet, melting snow from the bottom of the skis. Yurka Kri is behind and makes topos of the route. The bank of the river near Second North (especially the right bank) are limestone cliffs that rise high at places. Overall the terrain becomes flatter, entirely covered by forest.
We stop to rest at 5:30 pm on river Lozva. Today we spend our first night in the tent. The guys are busy with the stove, sewing curtains out of sheets. With some thing completed and others not, we sit at dinner. After dinner we sit for long time around the campfire and sing heartfelt songs. Zina even tries to learn to play mandolin under guidance of our musician Rustik (Rustem Slobodin). Then we resume our discussions, mostly about love. Someone comes up with an idea that we need a special notebook for ideas that we might come up with. After a good long talk, we started going into the tent two people at a time. The suspended stove radiates heat and divides the tent in two sections. The further section is occupied by me and Zina. Nobody wants to sleep by the stove. We agree that Yurka Kri will sleep there. On the other side sleeps the person on duty (Aleksander Kolevatov). Yurka couldn't stand the heat and after laying down for 1-2 min, he got up and moved to the second section cursing and accusing us of treason. After that they still argued about something for a long time, but at the end all was quiet.
Lyuda Dubinina - this entry is not signed, but can't be anybody else but Dubinina.
January 28 - Yuri Yudin departs from a 2nd Northern settlement. Another depressing abandoned place on vast stretches of Siberia. Some of the houses ("izba" in Russian) are abandoned and began to fall apart.
1.29.59
Second day of our hike. We made our way from the Lozva river to the Auspiya river. We walked along a Mansi trail. The weather is –13°C. The wind is weak. We often find ice on the Lozva river. That's all.
Nick Thibeaux
P.S. Witless writing in two days!
30 January 1959
Diary is written in the cold on the go.
Today is a third cold night on the bank of Auspiya river. We are getting used to it. The stove does a great job. Some of us (Thibeaux and Krivonischenko) think we need to build steam heat in the tent. The curtains in the tent are quite justified. We get up at 8:30am. After breakfast we walk along the Auspiya river, but the ice again doesn't allow us to move forward. We went on the bank on a sledge-deer trail. In the middle of the road the saw Mansi shed. Yes, Mansi, Mansi, Mansi. This word comes up more and more often in our conversations. Mansi are people of the North. Small Khanti-Mansi nation located in Salehard with 8 thousand population. Very interesting and unique people that inhabit the North Polar Urals, close to the Tyumen region. They have a written language, and leave characteristic signs on forest trees.
30.01.59
Weather: temperature in the morning - 17°C (in the typed copy the minus sign before the temperature is omitted - ed. note)
day - 13°C.
night - 26°C (in the typed copy the minus sign before the temperature is omitted - ed. note)
The wind is strong, south-west, snow begins to fall, heavy clouds, drop in temperature. The temperature is normal for Northern Urals.
This is a story about the forest. Mansi signs tell about animals they saw, resting stops and other things. It is particularly interesting to solve its meaning for the hikers as well as historians.
Deer trail turns into а trodden path, and then ends. To go without a trail is very hard, snow is 120 cm (4 feet) deep. The forest gradually thins and trees get smaller. You can feel the altitude. Lots of dwarf birches and pines. It is impossible to walk on the river. It is not completely frozen, there is ice and water under the snow. We have to go back on the bank of the river. The day is over and we have to find a place for bivouac. That's the stop for the night. Strong west wind. It blows the snows off the cedar and pine trees, creating the impression of a snow fall.
As usual we quickly start a fire and pitch the tent on some fir branches. We are warmed by the fire and go to sleep.
31 January 1959
Weather today is a bit worse – wind, snowing , since the sky is perfectly clear.
Started relatively early. Got back on the Mansi trail. (Up to now we are following a Mansi trail on which not so long passed a hunter with deer.)
Yesterday it seems we stumbled upon his resting stop. Deer didn't go any further. The hunter took the beaten trail by himself, we are following in his steps.
Had a surprisingly good overnight, air is warm and dry, though it's -18°C to -24°C. Walking is especially hard today. We can't see the trail, have to grope our way through at times. Can't do more than 1.5-2 km (1 mile) per hour.
Trying out new ways to clear the path. The first in line drops his backpack, skis forward for five minutes, comes back for a 10-15 minute break, then catches up with the group. That's one way to keep laying ski tracks non-stop. Hard on the second hiker though, who has to follow the new trail with full gear on his back. We gradually leave the Auspiya valley, it's upwards all the way but goes rather smoothly. Thin birch grove replaces firs. The end of forest is getting closer. Wind is western, warm, piercing, with speed like the draft from airplanes at take-off. Firn, open spaces. I can't even think of setting up a labaz here. It's nearly 4. Have to start looking for a place to pitch the tent. We go south in the Auspiya valley. Seems this place has the deepest snow. Wind not strong, snow 1.2-2 m (3-4 ft) deep. We're exhausted, but start setting up for the night. Firewood is scarce, mostly damp firs. We build the campfire on the logs, too tired to dig a fire pit. Dinner's in the tent. Nice and warm. Can't imagine such comfort on the ridge, with howling wind outside, hundreds of kilometers away from human settlements.
Dyatlov
January 31 - Dyatlov group leaves some of their gear in a forest on a platform set high above ground
February 1 - The group leaves on the last day of their trip. They start out fairly late and walk for only 2.5 miles. They set a tent around 5 pm on a slope of Kholat Syakhl just 10 miles from the Mount Otorten. They eat their last dinner between 6-7 pm. Subsequent investigation showed that one or two of the members left the tent to relief themselves. Since Semyon Zolotaryov and Nicolay Thibeaux-Brignolle were better dressed it was suggested that it was the two men who left the tent before something happened.
Diary of unknown group member
January 24, 1959
Last night, about 9-00 we boarded the train №43. At last. There is 10 of us. Slavik Bienko didn't come, they didn't let him. We are going with Blinov group. Fun. Songs. Around 8 am we arrived in Serov. We were not allowed to stay on the train station, the train to Ivdel is at 6-30 pm. We are looking for a room. We are trying to get into the club (to the right of the dining room of the station) and school, but fail. Finally he (? not sure about the identity) finds school number 41 (about 200 meters from the train station), where we were very well received.
January 30.
In the morning it was 17° now it is getting colder. Those on duty (S. Kolevatov and K. Tibo are repeating their duties as a punishment for slowing the group yesterday) took a long time to start a fire. In the evening it was decided that we will leave the tent exactly 8 minutes after waking up. Therefore, all have been awake and waiting for the command. But it is useless. Around 9:30 in the morning we began slowly to rise. Nick T. is joking about something in the morning. Everyone is reluctant to get up.
And the weather! In contrast to the rest of the warm days - today is a sunny cold day. The sun appears playful.
Today as yesterday were are following the path of Mansi. Sometimes Mansi writings appear on trees. In general, all sorts of obscure mysterious characters. There is slogan for our trek, "In a country of mysterious signs." If we knew these letters, it would be possible, without any doubt, to go down the path, confident that it would lead us to the right place. Here the trail takes us to the shores of the river. We lose track. In the future, the trail follows the left bank of Auspii river, but the team of deer crossed the river and we are going through the woods. At the first opportunity we will turn back to the river. As it is easier to follow it. At approximately 2 pm we stop for a lunch. Dried meat, guest crackers, sugar, garlic, coffee, stocked in the morning - that's our lunch.
Good mood.
A couple more hours - and we will stop at 5pm for the night. We have been looking for a place, then we returned about 200 meters back. Charming place. Deadwood, high pines, in short, everything you need for a good night.
Lyuda quickly got tired and sat down by the fire. Nick Tibo changed his clothes. He began to write a diary. The law is that until all the work is done, do not approach the fire. And so they had a long argument, of who will sew the tent. Finally K. Tibo gave up and took a needle. Lyuda remained seated. And we sewed the hole (and there were so many that there was enough work for all except two attendants and Lyuda. Guys are terribly outraged.
Today is the birthday of Sasha Kolevatov *. Congratulations. We give him a tangerine, which he immediately divided into 8 pieces (Lyuda went into the tent and did not come out until the end of the dinner). So another day of our trek went well.

24.2.59. (note: the figure of the month is corrected, visible simultaneously, one on top of the other in an unknown sequence, the numbers "1" and "2")
Here we are on a trek again. Now in Serov. The entire evening yesturday till 3 AM we sang songs. With us is sr. instructor of the Kaurov sport base Aleksander Zolotaryov. He knows a lot of songs, it's just happy somehow that we are learning new songs. Especially something called Zumba and others. Today I feel little sad. But it's nothing. We are on duty with Rustik. We went and talked to the schoolchildren, then they all saw us off, even burst into tears, didn't want to let us go.
25.1.59 (note: the figure of the month is fixed, visible simultaneously, one on top of the other in an unknown sequence, the numbers "1" and "2") arrived in Ivdel at midnight, spent the night at the train station pitching a tent on the floor. Yes, we have already been spotted 2 times by the police. Once Yuri Kriv was taken to the police station. He wanted to raise money for candy. It was funny. Then on the train Serov-Ivdel reached Ivdel, spent the night at the station, in the morning got on a bus, drove to a hotel in Ivdel. Then we took the bus and drove off. We are 20 people, backpacks and skis. Had to pile up on 3 levels, but we sang songs all the way. Arrived in Vizhay. First we stopped at the same club where we were 2 years ago. Then we were taken to the hotel. The whole evening there was a discussion about love about friendship, about dances and other things, etc. I talked a lot about things which are completely unfamiliar to me and I scarcely do, but I tried, sincerely. But this is all nonsense. But again the words of Volt come to mind. How well did he say it. We went to see "Symphonie in Gold" so powerful! So great!
26.1.59
We slept in beds. We got up late, very late. Rustik and I are on duty. We went into the dining room. And then we waited for the car and drove off. Today the road is not so beautiful, there is less snow. We are driving off road now. Drove for a long time. I, as always, was approached by some countryman. We arrived at the 41st settlement. Workers are simply working here, not prisoners, but recruits. There are many smart ones. We were accommodated in the small room of the driver. Today is the last day of civilization. Rustic plays the mandolin very well, I really enjoy listening to him. Today I wore Yuri's mittens, but how I did not want to! I was told that is not good not to accept them, so I took them. We talk. Not much.
27. Today is the first day of our journey. The backpack is not much but somewhat heavy. Yes, Yura Yudin is leaving us today. His sciatic nerves inflamed again and he is leaving. Such a pity. We distributed his load in our backpacks. It turns out that on the last day we see some kind of civilization,stove, people, etc. Today we arranged out backpacks to go on horseback and we are waiting them to be ready, and we will go skiing. Everyone is singing, the workers living in barracks, did not go to work, they sing. We sit and write songs. Many workers are very talented, intelligent people. Especially "the beard", his beard is ginger, ginger, and his eyes are also ginger, and brown. The guys sing well. And Rustic plays the mandolin very well. Today was the last day me and Lyuda slept in beds. Tonight we are going to be in a tent, apparently. Now we are in the 41st quarter, today our goal is to reach the 2nd Nortern. They say, there is a hut there, but no one lives in it. Hurry to the road, to the skis ... How about we go? I'm lately somehow very deeply affected by music, guitar, mandolin and other. Yesterday saw 3 movies here "On his own", "Est takoy paren" and "Sympnonie in gold" again. I want to see "Symphonie in Gold" even more times.

The whole day went, in front of the horse, behind the horse on the river Lozva. They often flew to ice, cleaned skis. They came already in the dark for a long time looking for a hut with windows and doors. 2nd North is an abandoned village, nobody lives here at all, and what beautiful places! It's just Chusovaya. The stones on the banks are some cliffs, limestone, white. Today we go a few km along the Lozva River, and then we pass to the Auspiya river.
(note: the arrow from "Today" is drawn down to "Auspiya River" and to the following date "28.2.58")
28.2.58 (note: she got wrong the month and the year)
Uncle Slava is leaving today on his horse, and Yura Yudin is leaving too. He took a few samples. I saw this type for the first after the drilling. There is a lot of chalcopyrite and pyrite. Last night the boys made stupid jokes. In my opinion, if we don't pay attention to them, maybe they will be less rude. And so far, nothing. It's time to go out, but they are still digging and digging. I do not understand what's taking so long. The first 30 minutes are over. Of course, the backpack is somewhat heavy. But it's possible to go. The first day is always difficult.

Lunch was an hour at 4 pm
After lunch we did just one more hike and stopped to rest.
I mended the tent. We lay down to sleep. Igor was rude the whole evening, I just couldn't recognize him. I had to sleep on the wood near the stove.
29.1.59
Today is Yurka's birthday (note: Yuri Doroshenko). We go first to Lozva then we turn to Auspiya. Surroundings are beautiful. Along the Auspiya Mansi have passed. A trail is visible, grooves, a path is visible. We often see Mansi signs on the trail. I wonder what they write about? Now the Mansi trail goes south.
(note: the turn is the sketch of the notch, the initials with the date Oct. 5, 1958, the drawing of the ax?)
Now we sit the three of us: Rustik, Yurka and I Waiting for the rest. For the night stopped near the ski tracks. We are burning firewood with Yurka. We talked about the past. Such a playboy.
30.2.59 We go on Auspiya
cold (ayserm). Mansi trail ended. Pine forest. There was sun in the morning, now is cold (ayserm). All day long we walked along Auspiya. Will spend the night on a Mansi trail. Kolya didn't get to be a watchman so me and Rustik will stay on duty today. Burned mittens 2 and Yurkin's quilted jacket. He cursed a lot. Today, probably, we will build a labaz.

LYUDA DUBININA DIARY
23 january. It's the last day of preparations and everything has been quite hectic. From eleven in the morning I was scampering between stores buying different bits and pieces. And I was silly enough to buy five meters of cambric which cost 200 rubles. I was packing in such a rush and of course I've forgotten at home my sweater. Everyone was busy with something, and we had so many things to do. Just before our departure, those who wanted to say goodbye came to meet us. We were really short of time, but arrived at the railway station with seconds to spare. Then we had to say goodbye to everyone. Before leaving we sang a few songs, but in the cart Blinov group joined and we continue singing together. Among all the most notable is Krotov's bass. This time there were a lot of very new songs that we were writing down with the help of an instructor A Zolotaryov, who came with us on the trek. At first nobody wanted this Zolotaryov, for he is a stranger, but then we all agreed, because you can't refuse. Thus, as we were ten, and remained ten, for Slavka was not released by the faculty bureau.
24 january went to bed We arrived in Serov very early. We were not allowed in the station with the backpacks. We settled nearby the station. The boys cross the treasurer, that's me, with accusations of stinginess and greed. Alas, the canteen at this point is a great luxury for us. There was one small incident - Yurka K. was taken by the police charging him with deception. Our hero decided to walk around the station handing a cap for change after singing a song. Yuri had to be rescued.
Then we managed to move to the elementary school together with Blinov group. After lunch we began to prepare the equipment. Decided to read talk to the children in 1st and 2nd grades about tourism. They liked our stories and things very much, and they became very attached to us. Time flew by till 6 pm in the company of our new young friends. The children bonded so much, especially to Zina, that they parted with tears.
In the train we all sang songs accompanied with a mandolin and just like that. Then out of the blue a young alcoholic came to the boys and accused them of stealing a bottle of vodka. He demanded her return and promised to punch them in the teeth. In the end, he did not prove or get anything and got lost. Yurka came and sang with us for a while and left. We sang and sang, and no one even noticed how we started to discuss love issues, talking about kisses in particular. We talked all kinds of nonsense, of course; everyone was interested, everyone wanted to speak out, eventually trying to out-shout each other and prove their own opinion. Sasha Kolevatov was the best in our debates. Probably he expressed not only his own thoughts but, anyway, he obviously won. We arrived at night in Ivdel and bunked at the station. We settled in the corner, spreading the tent, and laid down to sleep at once. I stayed watch. I used the time to sew overshoes and copy songs. Yurkina Olva from time to time shouted probably from boredom and hunger. I lasted till 3 am. At that time I lay down, only Borya continue to sew something for a long time, but he finally retire.
Zhenya (Evgeniy Zinovyev) often picks on me, sometimes he even says offensive things. He seem to consider me foolish. It's my fault that I like to add fuel to the fire, damn me.
25 january They woke us up, without really to have slept much. Itold Rustic that I won't wash up due to lack of conditions. He agreed. The bus came right away, we climbed quickly. Had to travel on 3 levels. Kolka Tibo (Nikolay Thibeaux-Brignolle) had to push his body to the ceiling, Olva first stood in (illegible word) position, but soon she couldn't stand it anymore and got down on her knees.
We sang again, of course. I totally lost my voice. Zhenka was bickering again. He goes on and on. Things stated to make sence, it wasn't really a knew, but it is now clearer and better. But despite this, Yurka is still a good-natured person, at least, judging by his behavior. I'm still true to myself.
Zhenka and Zina sang "If you eyes hadn't been blue..." ("Если б были глаза твои не такие синие...")
When we arrived at а turn the bus went to a village and had to return for us in an hour.
We continue on foot. It was so nice to walk along the road in such good weather. We went a little nuts and roll in the snow.
During our walk there was an incident - a car coming from the forest got stuck in the opposite direction. Our guys rushed to the rescue. Finally they pulled it out in half. Then our bus came up and we hopped on it. The discussion now was about happiness. Basically our guys were the most active. They tried to give a definition of happiness, but everyone had it its own way.
Arrived in Vizhay at four two. Blinov group is going further to settlement 41, and we stay to spend the night. We had a tearful goodbye with Blinov group. The mood sank. At parting, we sang with Zina and Zhenya: "If you eyes hadn't ..." In general I am very very sad.
We are extremely lucky! The Symphonie in Gold was showing. We left all our things and packs at the hotel and went to the club. The image was a bit fuzzy, but it didn't overshadow the pleasure at all. Yurka Krivo, sitting next to me, was smacking his lips and oohing with delight. This is real happiness, so difficult to describe with words. The music is just fabulous! The mood after the movie greatly improved. Igor Dyatlov was unrecognizable. He tried to dance, and even started singing: "O Jackie Joe"
We are on duty with Yuri today. We decided to cook noodles on the stove. But it was very difficult to heat the stove with such raw firewood, so it took a lot of time. Finally we began to eat. During the meal, a discussion arose about the rights of boys and girls to freedom, etc. In my opinion, such discussions lead nowhere. But we are doing it anyway, to vent the soul. We went to bed late. Had to lay down in beds by two, only Yurka Krivo and Sasha slept on the floor between the beds.
26 january In the morning Sashka jumped up from the cold and said that he had a cold night. Zina and I slept perfectly. Went to the dining room then began to gather.We go by car.Tried to sing, talked about abstract topics and in general nobody was warm. The surroundings were uninteresting at the beginning, a scorched forest.
In general, we had to go to 2nd North, but it was getting dark and we decided to stop at the 41st. At 4.30 we were met very hospitably. They stayed in the barrack, where the guys live. In general, here are all civilians, there are no women at all, except two. The guys are all young, as Igor noticed, there are even cute and generally interesting. Especially memorable among all is Ognev with a red beard and the nickname of his "Beard". In general, very rarely there are such people in such a hole. A true romantic, a geologist and generally developed. Many of the guys play the guitar.
We watched three movies right away: "On his own", "Est takoy paren" and "Sympnonie in gold" again. And again this music Co First in (illegible word) were divided into two groups one watched the movies, the other wrote diaries, and Rustik and Kolya reasoned a little about everything, about work, etc. I like these guys.
A big difference between them, graduated from the institute Rustik, Ko, Yura and us. All the same, their judgments are more mature and smarter than ours. My God, I do not even talk about mine
After the cinema, everyone was very tired and wanted to sleep. We lay down with Zina on a spring bed. It's a dream come true. And the guys are all on the floor. Mood is bad and probably will be for two more days. Evil as hell.
27 january Temperature is 5°. Warm, skis are useless. We are getting ready since the morning. Today is the first day of the route. Now we sit and wait for the horse to carry the backpacks, and we go on skis. Fortune smiles at us. Yuri Yudin got sick, something with a nerve of his leg, in general he radiculitis and he is going home. So, there are nine of us in the future. At the moment we are sitting and singing songs. Guys play the guitar, Rustic plays along with the mandolin. Catches your heart. This is the last place of civilization, and it is rare that we met people like that. Overall I love the guitar and I adore all musical people. And the guys in general are all good, they dance, they are musical. We talked with Ognev. He knows a lot and is interesting with him, now he talks about where we are going and more like this. This, in my opinion, is the most interesting object here on the site. He has such a long red beard, although he is only 27 years, he looks older. And then there is Valya, who plays the guitar well (many play) and about whom I jokingly said that I like him. Now most of the guys sit here and sing songs to the guitar, on the occasion that they do not work today. It seems this is the last time we heard so many good new songs. But we hope that Rustik will live up to the challenge. We learn some Mansi words from the guys.

YURI YUDIN DIARY (This is group member who left early)
26.1.59
We arrived by truck with no brakes, broken springs, etc., (only in the taiga you can ride on any vehicle.) in the village of District 41.
Ognev, Nick? since 1931. - long beard. He knows the whole of the Northern Urals. I was a participant of many geological expeditions. Quite knowledgeable on many issues. He graduated from the Ufimskiy Technical College. In the truck (that) city we came, we brought 3 movies: "On His Own" by Gorki, "Est takoy paren" and "Sympnonie in gold".
"On his own" - under the usual circumstances, in the city, I would have never gone to see this movie. It seems nothing of interest in it for me, waste of time. Here - you start watching ... and from the very first frames you feel that the movie is new for you, you see it with different eyes than before and many new thoughts are rushing one after another under the impression of what's on the screen.
Grandma plays excellently. Above all, full penetration into the role. Wealth, depth,
importance of thoughts, content, and all this follows by itself, without any imposition ... himself as in a life without words and simple ??? a person and there is another recently released motion picture. Paren (est takoy paren - there is such a guy) - the characters here, the artists portraying, are represented only by what they say at the moment and is not clear where and how did they originated, what they say and what they do. It seems like they (the characters) are created to say only these particular words, and there is nothing else for them to say, and to do. Roles like that are not clear, maybe I find the screenplay weak and superficial, bad stage director, bad artists and in short - it seems there are not living people on the screen full of thoughts, capable of creating stories themselves, but some automatic machines tuned to a spec. program, and that's why there is no performance in the whole movie. They could have said in advance what the movie is about, and how will it end. The whole movie in 5 mins. "Symphonie in gold" - austr. About ballet on ice. The ballet itself is a good show. Good skating rinks, skill, technical performance, but feelings, thoughts in dances - none. Maybe since music to me is not just an income. It seems to me that way? The light music in places is excellent, it can't be better, but in general I couldn't feel the Person, his soul. Maybe that's why everybody that saw the movie was saying: "It feels so good, nothing is missing, they say "like life itself"
We are warmly welcomed here. they ride all kind of They gave us the only horse available here to take our backpacks tomorrow for free to 2nd Northern about 200 150 km? from such a northern town as Ivdel. There is no radio, no newspapers. (They still can't check the lottery and I promised to send back the newspaper immediately from Sverdlovsk). They live in a dormitory. No order whatsoever, but people are everywhere. Read everything that they can get their hands on and do they sing ... Quietly, from the heart. The songs are old, long forgotten or never heard. Here they are ... It's so good!
Why don't we sing such good, already forgotten songs. And in general, we don't sing about the soul in places where there are some outsiders, it's not singing, not soulful, loud. We must fight for the culture of choral singing. Voices and change the repertoire. So that there were no empty screaming song-trinkets. Loggers are working poorly, work and life conditions are bad. Are they paying poorly? Strike. Everything is possible, but there is no good intelligent leadership. Master - once he studied and did not finish the Moscow Forestry Institute. The workers are very different. Recruits after the army, after serving time (to earn some money and stayed, or for free).
Many don't last, - they quit They work The majority has primary school or no education at all. But there are widely erudite and even If you meet them in the city, you would never have thought that this person all his time in the taiga.
Uncle Slava. Funny, somehow people do not think how this or that name will sound after uncle or grandpa *... What a funny grandpa!
Until 1953, they threw in jail everybody that they could catch, innocent, then they figured it out and cleaned up, everybody was given rushed amnesty
27 We spent the night in the hut of the 2nd Northern settlement. There are so many houses, warehouses, premises, forgotten old vehicles, machine tools. Everything was abandoned since 1952. Here worked а geological expedition. They took out what they could, the rest was written-off and abandoned. The houses are all dilapidated, there is only one with a stove and glass on the windows. The place is picturesque. Lozva river is wide. Lots of lime rocks. Uncle Slava says that in the summer you can cross the river. There are many warm, hot springs. Sagebrush and water is not entirely frozen and there are places under the snow where water is not frozen after which we need to break the ice from the skis.
Village Vizhay - camp (???) you can buy products. Apothecary - artist Herzen ?. German, wife is German. Idyll in the family. On the walls, relief paintings with filigree decoration, very masterfully, unusually finely executed. Thousands of Ornate box with a view of Lozva in the summer and another in the winter, more jewelry boxes, paintings - everywhere. Big ones. In the pharmacy - roses from red wax, fluorescing, Kremlin - from test tubes with fluorine. compositions, glowing. Built in wrist watch "Pobeda". It works fine.
An unusually polite gentle, kind person. His wife is German, very affable and hospitable. They are really short of medicine and keep what they have for the children. He begged me to get penicillin in tablets from Ivdel, as they have very little. It is difficult for them to get good medication.
Boring, all tired of the lecture and something After all, it's so good from time to time to introduce a new thought, a new direction in the conversation ... especial
So what the fuck happend?
well, lets take a look at some of the theories....
The Bigfoot/Yeti theory
This theory is based on a joke diary entry and a blury photo of what proponents of this theory say shows a bigoot stalking the group... in short this theory is that the group was terrorized and killed by a bigfoot.
The magic mushroom theory #1
(yes there is more than 1 mushroom theory)
The first shroom theory is that afew rouge hunters from a local tribe (the indigenous people of the Ural Mountains) ate some shrooms which caused them to go 5150 and kill everyone in the expedition.
The magic mushroom theory #2
This one is similar to the other shroom theory but instead of a local tribe getting twacked out and killing the group, it's the members witnin the group that eat the shrooms and kill everyone.
The ball lightning/strange lights theory.
This one is based on a out of focused photograph and a handful of alleged sightings of ball lightning or orbs (i wasn't able to find any recored of these sighting) this theory says the group was killed when ball lightning or orbs of light got too close to them.
The UFO/Aliens theory
This one is based on the same photo, and sightings as the ball lightning theory.
Aliens in UFOs attacked and killed the group.
The Mansi theory
Early on, it was theorized by Soviet authorities that the Dyatlov party may have been killed by the Mansi, an indigenous people of the region. The idea that the hikers were slaughtered for straying onto sacred land, or perhaps as part of a shamanic ritual
The KGB Theory
Two members of the Dyatlov group have been the focus of particular speculation. Why was Semyon Zolotaryov, a 37-year-old veteran of World War Two, attached to this group of young students and graduates? Furthermore, is it significant that, a few years earlier, Yuri Krivonischenko helped clear up a radioactive leak at a secret Soviet nuclear facility – an incident which has since been compared to the Chernobyl disaster?
According to one theory, Zolotaryov and Krivonischenko (and potentially a third hiker) were working for the KGB and had joined the Dyatlov trek to rendezvous with CIA agents in the Ural Mountains. While handing over radioactive materials and fake nuclear secrets, the Russians were supposed to take photos of the American agents. The theory goes that the CIA men got wise to what was going on, leading to a fight breaking out and the eventual massacre of the Dyatlov party
The internal conflict theory
Out of all the none weather related theories I believe this one is thd most plausible.
This theory suggests that fight broke out between two of the male group members which ultimately resulted in the camp being destroyed and the group separated into a few smaller groups and the demise of evryone... this theory seems plausible because of the fact that this was a group of people in their vary early 20's and there was 2 female and 7 males, and at least one of the females (zina) was at one time romantically involved with one of thr males (one of the two Yuri's) and we all know how jealously can bring a ship down especially when we are talking about a group as young as this group and without a real leadership to keep everything on track (Dyatlov was more of an organizer than a leader)
The weapon test theory
This one says the group became victims of a Soviet weapons test
this could be any one of the following
•a nuclear weapon
•a bio weapon
•a sound weapon
•a toxin weapon
•a psychological weapon
•a combination of any of the above
The hurricane theory
This one is pretty straightforward and doesn't require a lot of text to explain..
a hurricane caused the group to flee the tent, and they were separated and couldn't find their way back and died.
The Avalanche theory
This one makes the most sense to me and would explain the state of the tent, the reason for the group separation, the injuries to the group and does all of this without having to take a leap to explain itself around and of the evidence.
RainOnTheScareCrow's thoughts about this case...
Just like most of the people who have heard about this "mysterious" case, I'm also fascinated with it, but not for the same reasons everyone else is...
To me there is very little mystery as to how a group of college kids died while hiking in Siberia during a severe winter storm in January/February when the temperature is around -22°.... In fact thr how and why they died is pretty clear to me, but what I do find interesting is how other people look at this case.. they hear the story, look at the phonographs and all of the evidence and they are totally baffled and can't see how this could have happened.... it really is amazing how someone can be presented with all the facts and come to the conclusion that it must have been Ufo's or bigfoot because nothing else makes sense...
It reminds me of the "Mandela effect" where people say they remember Nelson Mandela dying in jail before he became the first president of south africa, but fail to realize that if he would have died before becoming president of south africa they would have never heard of him... it's like saying you thought John Lennon died before he became a member of the beatles... but anyway yeah, people are stupid.

Quick stats for TL;DR: 52 hours (1st to 3rd of September 2004), during which around 1200 people were held hostage, 344 civilians died (186 children) and more than 750 people were injured. I'll describe how it happened, as well as importance of that event. There's gore in photos and videos, there's something to read, and in the end - dead terrorists to warm your hearts.
Numbers are a bit questionable. As for early 2023, Beslan school siege is 7th deadliest terrorist attack. With 1st being WTC, places 2nd to 6th are occupied by either African or Middle Eastern incidents.
⠀⠀ATTACK 
Here's short video on events unfolding. It shows both timeline (I'll just describe main events) and model of school, with all highlights.
1st of September 2004. Wednesday (national holiday)
School No. 1 was one of 7 schools in Beslan, town of about 35,000 population located in Republic of North Ossetia–Alania (south-western Russia; border with Georgia). Here school year of 2004 begun from terrorist attack.
Militants stormed and captured school during opening ceremony, at 9:00. They warned if security forces storm the building, they will blow up school and hostages. For every one of them killed, militants would kill 50 hostages. Kids were put in windows as "human shields" to prevent rescue operations. Few dead men (either teachers or fathers) were thrown out the window. Beslan was visited by Nikolai Patrushev (head of Federal Security Service, FSB) and Rashid Nurgaliyev (Interior Minister). Initial reports about 200 hostages were misinformation; in the evening, FSB official Valery Andreyev informed that there are nearly 300 hostages. Real number was only 'discovered' on the last day.
School was surrounded not only by military and police, but also some civilians - thanks to quite common firearms access. Here one with rifle:
This video was taken by terrorists themselves and shown in NTV.
In the evening, problems with food and water started. Militants didn't care about basic means of keeping hostages alive. Some kids were peeing on hands to drunk urine. Others went desperately hungry and ate plants from school bathroom, stocking some in underwear 'for later'. Some hostages had to stay in pools of urine. Sometimes crying babies annoyed captors to the point when they were taking them away from parents and bringing outside gym, not letting parents know their fate.
2nd of September 2004. Thursday
In the morning officials released 'updated' info on number of hostages, claiming there are around 400 schoolchildren inside. Former Ingushetia President, Ruslan Aushev, started talks with hostage takers.
25 hostages - 11 mothers and 14 children - were released. This was the only success - some kids escaped on first day, some were released on second. Not all mothers were allowed to take more than 1 kid. E.g. Zalina Zandrovna was forced to choose. She said it was beyond words, but one of kids had to live through it. 6 yo daughter was left inside afraid, Zandrovna get out to safety with 2 yo son. After the event, she found daughter alive - claiming that sole surviving terrorist let her go out alive, only suffering some burn injuries.
Here's another story, if you'd like to know more: https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-36378981 this time no happy end. There were 3 mothers forced to leave kids who later died - including woman interviewed for this article. Some were orphaned, and linked article also mentions such a case (mother refusing to leave - died with baby, but second kid survived).
Video published in 2006 by CBS, taken inside school. It shows e.g. freeing some hostages and bodies thrown outside the window - fathers, teachers.
Babies carried out on 2nd day:
3rd of September 2004. Friday
Automatic-weapon fire started near the school, followed by two explosions, at 6:27. It took around 10 hours until fighting stopped on 16:22. In the meantime, negotiators secured an agreement to recover some bodies of hostages and security troops. Group of hostages escaped, another was led out. On 19:16 presidential adviser Aslambek Aslakhanov acknowledged there were around 1200 hostages inside.
The end of this horrific standoff began with an explosion in the afternoon, 52 hours into the siege. "After the explosion, there was a pile of dead children's bodies, and then complete silence," says teacher Elena Kosumova, who was in charge of the opening day ceremonies at the school. She and her son, Timor, were held hostage during the siege.
Moments after the two explosions rocked the building, an enormous gun battle erupted. Special Forces snipers started picking off the terrorists. "They just opened fire," says Beliakov. "They started firing at school." It took nearly 10 hours before all the shooting stopped.
Teacher Elena Kosumova (pictured) was separated from her son, Timor. "I saw a lot of children climbing over the windowsill. That gave me the idea to escape through the window," she says. "The first people I saw were two men from our town. They were armed. One told me to run over to him. He helped me cross back to safety."
Here is Elema Kosumova and her son Timor. (whole photorelation: https://www.cbsnews.com/pictures/tragedy-in-beslan-2/)
There are many photos of the escapees, but not especially gory. Many of children were at least partially without clothes. This is both because of hot temperature (in general at this time of the year), just worsening when crowded at the gym, and because of stripping down to avoid burns.
Storming the school on 3rd day.
Bodies outside the morgue in Vladikavkaz, regional capital.
Beslan cemetery.
I'll include only one terrorist here - rest goes for aftermath. Among 32 assailants were two women. 31 died (at least one - lynched), and one surviving was Nur-Pashi Kulaev. He got a life sentence on 26th of May, 2006. His naked ass photo kinda caught my attention, not matching other tragic photos. Here's what happened:
One militant was dragged from the building, his trousers pulled from his waist. Once the locals checked he was circumcised (and therefore, by their logic, Muslim, and hence a gunman), they beat him to a pulp and left his body in the back of a truck.
It took the mob longer to realize Kulaev is one of militants because he hid under a truck - like many civilians during shooting - and instead of uniform wore tracksuit and sneakers. He claimed that he 'personally' didn't kill anyone, just was part of the group, and he wants to live. At least that's what was written in http://pravda.ru, and few other Russian sources. Later in court, Kulaev stated that he also wasn't aware they were attacking school, and tried to shoot into the air. Formally, he was responsible for some deaths or injuries. Opinions among victims' families or other impacted by attack were divided. Some wanted Kulaev dead, and he only didn't end up executed because of moratorium on death penalty. Others pointed out - and I agree with them - than instead of focusing on sentences for terrorists and details of their crimes, gov should focus on why did they fail on multiple levels. Quoting FoxNews:
The group said investigators had not probed who was responsible for a chain of alleged errors: the failure to take security measures in spite of a heightened danger of terrorist attacks, the refusal to negotiate with the hostage-takers, underreporting the number of hostages involved early in the crisis, the lack of preparation for storming the school, the unpreparedness of the rescue services and the "uncontrolled use of tanks, flame-throwers, grenade-launchers and other weapons."
30 seconds long video from Ogrish, to bring classic content back. Notice civilians, helping military and police on 3rd day, too.
Here two parts of hostage children running away video (around 4;30 and 5;20 mins long). It ends after 13;17 local time.
I didn't search for any subtitles, not sure if you're interested. In second video, that boy who talks to cameraman around 2;10 says they were held four days without water. The second one, screaming in the background, asks where's water.
⠀⠀AFTERMATH (both victims and terrorists)
10 minutes long video showing searching through debris (we had it, but now it's unwatermarked, just shorter version).
I can barely understand Russian, so don't get many of their conversation. They both just comment on type of victims - the age or gender - and on what some scenes tell about the terrorists. Around 4;30, they comment on two corpses here (man is elder PE teacher, Ivan Kanidi). Assailants had no mercy on men and women (previously they mostly talked about kids), and even barricaded windows. Around 5;24-5;36, they note that despite there's tap water being available, hostages were left dying. 7;45 - explosives found on woman's corpse ('shahid belt'). 8;55 - unexploded grenade.
It's just a part of longer footage, at least partially (didn't check all) on YouTube - search for Beslan, 4.09.2004, survey of school. Here's https://watchpeopledie.tv/h/aftermath/post/12143/child-warning-beslan-siege-aftermath some missing part, from 7;10 onwards. Still, you can see timeskips. Few stillshots, some had comments.
One of terrorists, explosives intact:
In next classroom grenade launcher was discovered and items belonging to terrorists: clothes and food (powdered milk, canned food, dates).
Their explosives apparently worked:
I'm not sure if these photos show dead only:
Machine gunner, also blown apart:
More dead militants. Second last photo shows corpse of Vladimir Khodov.
You remember Khuchbarov smiling on the video from 2nd day of siege? He didn't get the last laugh:
Here 5 not so gory pics from Ogrish.
It'd be really hard to put all photos here. So if you wish to see more gore pics (especially all of you who 'are bored and have seen all content here'): here you go http://www.reyndar.org/~reyndar1/1/Thumbnails.html Various aftermath photos.
Here's explanation of aftermath I really like (autotranslated, so a bit weird):
What else? Officials made idiotic statements, the media gave idiotic comments and reports, relatives of the victims howled with grief and tore their hair, relatives of the wounded - rejoiced that they had found their living. The country was in shock. Putin spoke on TV. Zakayev was giving out an interview from London and telling that Maskhadov was good, and Putin was bad.
And what about numbers?
The number of people who were held hostage is also unknown. The latest data –1,200 people – was delivered by Vladimir Ustinov, although a day earlier it had been reported that 1 181 people had been taken hostage. According to Ustinov, as a result of the terrorist attack, 326 people died, although the number of 335 was previously reported for several days.
It's from article Report on Russian media coverage of the Beslan tragedy: Access to information and journalists’ working conditions. Here's abstract.
The coverage of the events has proven that media freedom had taken hold in Russia. However, several worrisome developments in the relationship between the government and the media drew the attention of local and international experts and human rights activists. Cases of detention and harassment of journalists occurred, seriously impeding their work.
Even more importantly, the government did not provide in a timely manner truthful information on the handling of the crisis:
How many people were taken hostage;
What was the number of hostage takers;
Who were they;
What were their demands.
As a result, journalists were physically attacked in Beslan for allegedly misinforming the public. A triple credibility gap arose, between the government and the media, between the media and the citizens, and between the government and the people. This is a serious drawback for a democracy.
The main sources of information for the Russian people are the three nationwide broadcasters. Unfortunately, they did not provide accurate and up-to-date information. In the end, the print media and Internet news sites stepped in, filling the information void as much as they could.
I didn't link every source, because of e.g. not exactly knowing about Russian sources affiliations. And there's already enough text.

With special focus on Abu Zubaydah (and his drawings), with *a lot of* reading. Also basic info with maps, other drawings for comparision, a few videos - including the of Omar Khadr interrogation (CW, teenager) - and a few recommendations

As expected for this topic, this is an exceptionally long post. While the lack of videos and photos is understandable, there aren't even so many torture descriptions or drawings that I'd find good enough. The same goes for the videos that could replace the walls of text.
Sections go as follows:
Introduction. How this place looks and how it's organized.
The beginnings of the controversy. Some more general info, and photos by Shane McCoy (11th of January 2002, the first detainees arriving).
Enhanced Interrogation Techniques. There are two videos there (25 mins and 10 mins, timestamped) and a wall of text - both backstory and CIA personnel's initial observations. A few drawings by Zubaydah included, as well the other ones for comparision.
Case of Abu Zubaydah. Includes a 23 mins long video from Democracy Now! (timestamped).
Zubaydah's drawings. Matching other reports on torture, and the most detailed drawings we have for now. Also link to the report with all of them.
Want more? Just links for those who would like more torture descriptions or depictions. Only these outstanding in various ways, so for certain users they may go beyond informative (peer-reviewed, literally
).The interrogation of Omar Khadr. The only video we have for now - it's a short part from the whole footage (recorded in 2003, released in 2008). Khadr was, at least in 2008, the only one in modern history to be tried for war crimes that he allegedly committed as a minor.
Sources.
⠀INTRODUCTION 
Events described later may be hard to imagine, so let's start from the basics. Even the basics are a fucking mess, though, when it comes to informing the public.
Map of the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base from gitmomemory.org (go there for interactive version). Red X means it's closed, orange X means it is or may be closed, and it's not related to the prison. Explanations about the detention camps is under the next picture.
Here, map of the camps from the BBC website:
What the camps were or are for:
Camp X. 'Housing' detaines from January to April 2002, before pernament facilities were built. 'Housing' was in cages ('wire mesh units, with wood/metal covers and concrete floors'), lacking privacy, exposing the detainees to the weather conditions and scorpions. The iconic photos of Guantanamo Bay detention camp, and the one starting the media outrage, are from Camp X.
Camp Delta. Operating since April 2002. Various sources claim it was consiting of 3, 4 or 5 units, with their layout being unclear. Around 2005, they had a capacity of above 1000. According to the HRW website, the specific camps' use were as follows. Camp 1 - constructed in similar way to Camp 3, but the prisoners housed in adjacent cells and able to communicate with each other. Camp 3 - opened in 2002, temporarily closed in 2006, reportedly served as a punishment unit with single cells and no options for contact between the detainees. Camp 4 - opened in February 2003, 'to ease restrictions and allow detainees who don't pose disciplinary problems to congregate more freely'.
Camp Echo. Detainees deemed unsitable for communal living in Camp 4 were housed there in shed-like buildings. Previously, they were used as interrogation and isolation units.
Camp Iguana. Used for short, for only three detainees between 13 and 15 yo. Important for PR purposes. Detainees 16 yo and older were treated as adults, as Defense Department decided to set other standards than the international ones.
Camp Five. This is where the most of reported abuse took place. Opened in May 2004, reportedly designed in a way similar to maximum-security prison. It was meant to at max 100 detaines, 'deemed to be the highest threat to themselves, other detainees or guards'.
Camp 6. Completed in November 2006, intended for at last 160 detainees.
Camp 7. Two-story building, a maximum-security facility, built in 2004 and kept secret for the first 2 years. It was housing the most 'valuable' and 'dangerous' prisoners. Closed in April 2021, to cut costs.
The following quote is from the beginning of May 2023:
Since 2002, roughly 780 detainees have been held at the American military prison at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba. Now, 30 remain. Of those, 11 have been charged with war crimes in the military commissions system — 10 are awaiting trial and one has been convicted.
In addition, three detainees are held in indefinite law-of-war detention and are neither facing tribunal charges nor being recommended for release. And 16 are held in law-of-war detention but have been recommended for transfer with security arrangements to another country.
For the comparision, stats from November 2010 (when 174 detainees were remaining, 6 confirmed to die in custody). Last new detainee arrived in 2008.
⠀THE BEGINNING OF THE CONTROVERSY 
I haven't seen any well-done timeline to put you here, that'd explain the parallel storylines - both of certain topics and certain detainees. Here is the interactive timeline of the events relating to CIA's secret interrogation program (may no work on mobile version). That's the type of a situation about which everyone knows, but it's hard to tell when did specific controversy start or surfaced, or it doesn't even have a timeline.
Photos of the first 20 detainees, who arrived on 11th of Janury 2002, were taken by Navy Petty Officer Shane McCoy. He was there on duty, but his photos - now iconic - are sometimes incorrectly thought to be a leak. They had to be taken and are a public domain (as every US federal gov work). Not all photos showed the detainees, some were depicting the infrastructure. Below, a few of them of them with descriptions quoted.

Jodi Smith watches from the outer perimeter as detainees in orange jumpsuits sit in a holding area in Camp X-Ray at Naval Base Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, during in-processing to the temporary detention facility on Jan. 14, 2002. The detainees will be given a basic physical exam by a doctor, to include a chest x-ray and blood samples drawn to assess their health.

Zoom on the detainee:
In 2011, WikiLeaks released classified pictures of a few prisoners from leaked intelligence dossiers. Portraits of some prisoners taken by the International Committee of the Red Cross were released by their lawyers. Another series was published in June 2022:
Using the Freedom of Information Act, The New York Times has obtained from the National Archives less antiseptic photographs of the first prisoners who were brought from Afghanistan to the wartime prison in Cuba.
Released this year, these pictures were taken by military photographers to show senior leaders, chief among them Donald H. Rumsfeld, then the defense secretary, an intimate view of the offshore detention and interrogation operation in its early stages.
In September 2006, President George W. Bush officially stated that the CIA's secret interrogation program exists. Reportedly, the use of EITs ended in November 2007. There were videotapes, recorded from March 2002 to the end of 2002, destroyed in November 2005. In March 2009, news started spreading about the court papers confirming what, when, and where was destroyed. Tape destruction went under investigation by the federal prosecutor.
The Red Cross warned about the 'deterioration in the psychological health of a large number of detainees' in October 2003.
I don't know if there is any specific reason why (not when) waterboarding became an 'iconic' human rights abuse in this case. But:
Waterboarding entered the american lexicon on May 13, 2004, amid the scandal of Abu Ghraib, when the New York Times described the practice—“a prisoner is strapped down, forcibly pushed under water and made to believe he might drown”—and its authorization by the Department of Justice.
The article mentioned is 'Harsh C.I.A. Methods Cited In Top Qaeda Interrogations'. It states:
In the case of Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, a high-level detainee who is believed to have helped plan the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, C.I.A. interrogators used graduated levels of force, including a technique known as ''water boarding,'' in which a prisoner is strapped down, forcibly pushed under water and made to believe he might drown.
Ironically, euphemisms used to describe torture were already a case for waterboarding itself: water torture, water cure and water treatment. 'Water board torture' was first used in 1976, and referred to what were US Navy trainees subjected to. Here is an article about the history of language used.
In May 2008, for the first time, a former detainee - Murat Kunraz - testified before the US Congress (via VC, as he was already released and living in Germany). In October 2021, for the first time the abuse was described publicly. Majid Khan detailed both the improper conditions and abuse during a sentencing hearing, delayed for nearly a decade.
Certain color drawings by Abu Zubaydah were already released in December 2019. The accompanying report, 'How America Tortures', contained around a dozen of pictures, some text, and redacted extracts from the documents. News about the full report, containing all of them, come from May 2023.
⠀ENHANCED INTERROGATION TECHNIQUES 
EITs were developed to 'overcome the resistance' of the high-value detainees. Abu Zubaydah was the first of them, captured in March 2002 (above: photo from right after capture), and initially questioned in a 'classic' (no torture) way. He was incorrectly assumed to be a high-ranking member of Al-Qaeda and to know more about possible threats to US national safety. CIA contacted one psychologist, formerly serving in the US Air Force, who together with another psychologist, became a CIA contractor, working on the EITs program. Its goal was to achieve learned helplessness (this is what made these techniques 'enhanced'), breaking the detainee mentally, so they would 'cooperate' with the interrogators. It was claimed to be scientifically justified. Leaving aside ethical problems - inducing learned helplessness has only been studied in animal models before. The program itself was made based on reverse engineering the SERE program. So: inspiration from studies done on dogs was combined with a program meant to teach soldiers how to resist interrogation and torture if captured. One of the points of this SERE program, though, was putting maximum effort to make sure that the trainees do not develop learned helplessness.
Using the name 'EITs' instead of torture is just one of the possibilities. Other examples: 'coercive interrogation', 'applying psychological pressure', 'harsh treatment', 'more aggressive techniques'. Not only the specific measures are described vaguely or euphemistically, but also the overall outcomes. The point of the EITs is to turn the detainee into an emotional clusterfuck. The more fancy description is quoted below the photo (left - James Mitchell, right - Bruce Jessen).
In 2002, the two psychologists – given the pseudonyms “Grayson Swigert” (Mitchell) and “Hammond Dunbar” (Jessen) – designed a system of interrogation methods euphemistically named “enhanced interrogation techniques” (EITs). They did this by reverse engineering the SERE program, refining techniques intended to disrupt detainees’ resistance, produce compliance, and understand the threshold at which the techniques could achieve “learned helplessness” [...]
In essence, Mitchell and Jessen’s goal was to “break” detainees to such an extent that any resistance to intelligence collection would be impossible. Their intention was to deprive detainees of a sense of control over their own minds through the use of abusive confinement conditions and brutal “interrogation” techniques. This they believed would ensure each detainee regressed to a state of extreme psychological debilitation, suffering, and submission. Theoretically, the interrogator could then “establish absolute control,” “induce dependence to meet needs,” “elicit compliance,” and “shap[e] cooperation.”
Significantly, Mitchell and Jessen’s EITs were intentionally designed to maximize suffering while showing no long-term visually observable physical manifestations. [...] interrogations were deliberately designed to have the long-term effect of breaking down both the psyche and brain function through the use of physical and mental pain and suffering.
Prior to Mitchell and Jessen’s program, “debility, dependence, and dread”[...] had never been used for interrogation by U.S. forces, although it had been studied and had influenced the CIA’s historical counter-intelligence strategies. The phenomenon of learned helplessness, effectively a continuation of that theory, had also been studied in animal models, but it had never been used, let alone demonstrated as effective for producing cooperation, accurate intelligence, or meaningful confessions.
Quoted from this document. SERE - Survival, Evasion, Resistance, Escape.
The most intense period was August 2002, during the 'aggresive phase' of testing EITs. This is when Zubaydah was waterboarded. It's commonly stated it took place 83 times, which is incorrect. This was initially the number of individual pours or splashes of water.
According to [the 2004 CIA report], the interrogation team decided at the outset to videotape Abu Zubaydah’s sessions, primarily in order to document his medical condition. CIA OIG examined a total of 92 videotapes, twelve of which recorded the use of EITs. Those twelve tapes included a total of 83 waterboard applications, the majority of which lasted less than ten seconds.
And, in his own words:
[...] during each session, apart from one, the suffocation technique was applied once or twice; on one occasion it was applied three times
These 92 videotapes were destroyed. 90 were showing interrogations of Zubaydah, 2 - of Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri. The latter was also waterboarded. CIA officially confirmed waterboarding only of them two and Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.
Few remarks from more detailed descriptions of testing EITs on Zubaydah, from CIA personnel in Detention Site Green (Thailand):
5th of August. The medical officer was warned that almost for sure he hasn't yet been at this point in his medical career. He was warned about scenes he was about to witness being 'visually and psychologically very uncomfortable'.
8th of August. Staff members were at some point wondering on how long the sessions can be carried on. They've been already 'profoundly affected' by the torture witnessed. A note from the same day mentions a few of them choking up and brought to tears.
10th of August. Two or three staff members reported 'likely to elect transfer' away from the detention site, if the EITs would continue.
10th of August. The interrogation team stated it was 'highly unlikely' that Zubaydah has the information needed by CIA. However, the Headquarters disagreed. Personnel were also concerned about the techniques approaching the legal limit. The answer was to stop using such speculative language in written communication, as 'it's not helpful'.
11th of August. These viewing the torture tapes should prepare 'for something not seen previously'. Watching them caused 'strong feelings of futility (and legality) of escalating or even maintaining the pressure'.
Over this whole period, 'at times'. Zubaydah was going 'hysterical' and distressed to the level of being unable to effectively communicate. He frequently 'begged, cried, pleaded and whimpered', but continued to deny he has any more information.
One of the goals was to make sure that the detainee actually doesn't know, and isn't lying. If the interrogators weren't sure, the detainee would either be tortured or would make up stories. I wanted to know how it was assessed, but Mitchell's explanation didn't help:
Oddly enough, if you spend years and years and years watching people try to lie and tell the truth under various circumstances where coercion exists, you get some sense of what people are like when they’re lying or telling the truth.
That's a good part of the post to start complaining about not enough decent torture depictions being available. Decent in the gore context, for which Abu Zubaydah's drawings would be the best example. Many depictions are either former detainees' sketches or simple illustrations from other sources, e.g.:
Zubaydah's drawings were released through his lawyer, as they were considered 'legal materials' instead of 'art'. The detainees' artwork can be released, but not if explicitly showing their daily life in detention, interrogations or torture / abuse. The artwork shouldn't contain secret messages, too. Apparently, conveying one's emotions into the abstract art may be improper. Look at this Khalid Qasim's painting:
His paintings were showing both nautical scenes, landscapes or other nature-related sights and symbolic or abstract art. Qasim didn't intent to provide a proper interpretation, claiming that each piece carry several meanings, which the viewer should search for. He also corrected negative news, saying that his paintings 'are always powered by optimism rather than despair'. In 2022, prison authorities have stopped Qasim from sharing his artwork with the outside world; it's hardly possible for him to share the paintings with attorneys, too.

'Vertigo at Guantanamo' by Pakistani detainee Ammar al-Baluchi, suffering from the brain damage after 'walling' (resulting e.g. in vertigo):
A few sketches by Mohamed Ahmed Ben Soud were published in 2012. I just put two here; rest was, also simple, drawings of e.g. confinement box or board he was strapped to and turned around.
Below, some of the EITs on Zubaydah's drawings. Unlike the simplified depictions shown few paragraphs above, these ones actually express something emotionally.
Walling:
Waterboarding board:
Confinement box:
Stress positions:
Below, map of the black sites. Zubaydah was moved between a few black sites or other secret facilities - Thailand, Poland, secret prison in Guantanamo, Morocco (not controlled by the CIA), Lithuania, and unknown one, probably in Afghanistan. On 6th of September 2006, he was transported to Guantanamo - as a one among 14 high-value detainees - and remains there.
In 2015, Mitchell and Jessen were sued by the ACLU on behalf of three torture victims - Suleiman Abdullah Salim, Mohamed Ahmed Ben Soud, and a family of Gul Rahman, who died in custody (November 2002 - hypothermia). The suit was settled out of court in 2017. Here's the video, nearly 10 minutes long, where both of these guys and the former detainees are interviewed.
Two men who proposed interrogation techniques widely viewed as torture are part of a lawsuit filed on behalf of former C.I.A. detainees. Deposition videos, obtained exclusively by The New York Times, reveal new insights into the enhanced interrogation program and the C.I.A. officials behind it.
They point out there Mitchell saying earlier that he's aware if someone was given a choice, they'd choose breaking legs over waterboarding as it's 'less distressing' for them. It's from the interview I will link next, after 18;00.
Here's the VICE interview with Mitchell, reportedly the first time he was interviewed on camera.
5;35 - main part of the interview starts.
10;30 onwards - there is a comment from the lawyer of Abu Zubydah, and some more loose talk with Mitchell.
13;30 - the interview continues, e.g. on 'Jihadi mindset'.
15;05 to 15;35 - short scene with volunteer waterboarded. Then the talk continues, with a few inserted scenes or photos.
21;40 - the final part of the interview, just in another place.
⠀CASE OF ABU ZUBAYDAH 
Actually Zayn al Abdeen Mohammed al Hussein, born in in Saudi Arabia on 12th of March 1971. His capture and abuse by the use of EITs was already described. In July 2008, he filled a petition challenging the legality of his detention (month after the right to do so was granted to the detainees). Federal courts declined to rule on it for years. European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) ruled that Poland (2014), Lithuania and Romania (2018) - all 'hosting' CIA's black sites - had violated the European Convention on Human Rights. ECHR ordered these countries govs to pay both Zubaydah and al-Nashiri in damages. Legal cases regarding either Zubaydah or him and other detainees were mentioned multiple times in the news; honestly, I don't get a half of them. In April 2023, a decision of United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention was published:
The UN body reached damning findings on the unlawfulness of Guantanamo, torture and enforced disappearance by the US and the 6 other states that share 'joint responsibility' for the ongoing violations of our client's rights. It called for Abu Zubaydah's immediate release, after 21 years of arbitrary detention without charge or trial, as well as compensation and the investigation of what it terms "crimes against humanity."
Zubaydah was cooperative in the beginning, when questioned by Ali Soufan and his FBI partner. The interrogators were showing him photos from the FBI most wanted list. One of them was shown on accident, but Zubaydah recognized the unidentified man - Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. He was known to the FBI as 'KSM', and it was a surprise to both learn his identity and that he was allegedly a mastermind of 9/11 attack (apart from involvement in other attacks). After 10 days, Soufan was told to stop talking to Zubaydah. CIA agents thought that the detainee knew more - that could be obtained with EITs.
He was at first assumed to be a No. 3 member of the Al-Qaeda; was never a formal member, though. The 'corrected' versions of his affiliations are often vague, e.g. 'played a key role in Al Qaeda’s communications', ran a 'mujahedeen facilitation network', and had close contact with Al-Qaeda No. 2 member at the time (of the capture) . Apart from this, he was 'generally aware' of planning for the 9/11 attacks, 'possibly' coordinated training at a camp called Khalden when two of the future hijackers were there, and 'possibly' had advance knowledge on two attack (1998 and 2000),... The more precize mentions seem to focus on supporting the trainings in various ways.
Here's a 23 mins long video from Democracy Now!, including interviews with two guests: one of Zubaydah's lawyers and one guy involved in catching him (also CIA whistleblower). Timestamps after the intro:
1;30 to 3;35 - trailer of 'Forever Prisoner'.
3;35 to 10;30 - an interview about the Zubaydah's story, from capture through the early detention and torture to the report.
10;30 - beginning of the part strictly about the torture drawings and report. Also about their significance. 92 tapes destroyed by the CIA are mentioned (correction: from which 2 were showing the interrogation of Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri)
Democracy Now! has alredy released a video on him, 'Abu Zubaydah Was Tortured for Years at CIA Black Sites. Biden Is Trying to Keep the Abuse Secret', in October 2021. However, only the black and white drawings were included.
⠀ZUBAYDAH'S DRAWINGS 
All 40 drawings were published in a report 'American Torturers: FBI and CIA Abuses at Dark Sites and Guantánamo' (download here), which you may have seen mentioned in the news, literally a month ago. However, certain drawings - both black and white, and these in color - were already published at least in 2018. It has both drawings accompanying the text and, later, pictures posted separately (in higher resolution). How these 130 pages look like:
First half is not so organized text (both informative and comments on the drawings and the torture depicted) with accompanying drawings. The second half is drawings in higher resolution, followed by the author's descriptions, only referring to this scene.
The drawings are far more detailed than the typical illustrative ones, which you can usually see in Amnesty International or Human Rights Watch Reports. It applies both to the amount of details and covered reactions. The faces of some of the interrogators and staff members had to be even censored for this reason.
Descriptions are also detailed, both these of the actions and the emotional sides. Mentions of how it looks like on moral / religious side are quite common.
A few I've chosen on my own criteria are below, for the rest - check the linked report. About the accuracy, for these wondering:
His drawings dovetail with the recent accounts of Dr. James Mitchell, a chief architect of the torture regime, who both wrote a book on EITs and testified in hearings on Guantanamo. These sources, together with the report of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, provide the most complete – and compelling – account to date of America’s torture program.
Drawing 11. Exposing the detainee to the extreme cold. Fan and AC were cooling down the room, in which detainee was subjected to cold water while naked. Both the investigators and guards had proper clothing, suitable for low temperatures.
Drawing 15. A wooden soffin-sized box, in which the detainee was left until urinating on himself. It had two hatches, one for talking, another one for pouring water. During the interrogation, it was filled till the point of detainee's face - he wouldn't drown, but was already coughing off water.
Drawing 16. Restraining the detainee in such a way that they both can't stand straight and sit down. Insects could be intentionally put there (it's also known that detainees' phobias were used, once realized), also in large numbers. Zubaydah mentioned one or two scorpions, which were scary themselves, but even more when randomly disappearing from his field of view.
Drawing 23. For most of the time, if no interrogation or torture was going on, the detainees were wearing a hood. It could cover a headphones, ducktaped to one's head, either with the ear muffs (completely cutting off sounds) or with blasting music.
Drawing 24. One of a few scenes showing the female interrogator, improperly clothed, on purpose. In this case, the detainee was nearly hallucinating because of weeks of sleep deprivation, sitting naked, hungry and in cold. During the interrogation, two men in thick clothing were present. The female interrogator was very lightly clothed, and the detainee thought at first it's just a hallucination. He found it unacceptable to be forced to sit naked straight in front of a woman. During half an hour, she didn't get any answers from him, and left shaking from anger and cold.
Here is Drawing 25, another female interrogator scene.
I screamed at them that day, saying, “If you don’t want to respect me, respect this (female) interrogator…respect her feminism. Don’t be animals.”
They beat me hard until it felt as if my legs had fallen off; my genitals became more exposed rather than dangle. [...] I kept refusing and they kept beating me, thinking that I’m arrogant to deal with a female interrogator and for not respecting a woman, as they told me. On the contrary, I wasn’t being disrespectful, I refused because I was respecting her feminism. Though, I didn’t respect her as a person who agree to be part of this filthy work.
Drawing 27. Forced cavity search. If the detainee refused, he would be slammed on the floor, and the search was performed more violently. He claimed that it happened 'before, during and after movement from one cell to another; or from one prison to another; or from one country to another; or from one mode of transportation to another'. Usually, a finger was inserted, but sometimes it was a plastic, metal or wooden object. It also could happen that for the more humiliation, a female was watching, or guys were laughing at the detainee and mocking him.
(He isn't the only one mentioning the intentional, rather than 'natural'/spontaneous laughter, directed at certain type of actions)
Drawing 29. Forced rectal feeding and hydration. Technically - just a sexual abuse, because:
A coalition of medical physicians and professors stated that the practice “simply doesn’t make physiological sense,” and thus “there is no current medical reason” for its use. In referring to the CIA’s practice, it specified: “Pureed food and nutritional supplements, such as Ensure, should never be administered rectally,” as the colon cannot absorb pureed food. Although the CIA has tried to defend its actions as consistent with medical necessity, rectal feeding has little value in sustaining life or administering nutrients, “since the colon and rectum cannot absorb much besides salt, glucose and a few minerals and vitamins.” The larger U.S. medical community has been unified in its opposition to both rectal feeding, and, to a lesser but nevertheless significant extent, rectal rehydration, as humiliating and barbaric treatment that has “no place . . . in medical treatment today.”
(look up 'Rectal Feeding, Rape, and Torture in the U.S. Interrogation and Detention Program' for more)
Drawing 32. Rape threats. The detainee was stripped to the table (for hours or days), with upper body tilted. Previous drawings were showing force-feeding and hydrating - either anally or by tube inserted into the nasal opening. Staff members were trying to do this before he became unconscious. At the time, the prisoner would stay stripped to the table, and either piss or defecate under himself. The interrogations started from beating the rear end of the prisoner's body; sometimes hitting hands or feet, too. Threatening the detainee with raping him with a stick till the point of bleeding. Then - threats of 'just' raping, either him or the wife, daughter, mother (depends on the family), no matter their ages.
There was a word lacking in the text, '[...] and thinks'. I assume, from the context, it was about the interrogators saying and apparently thinking the things mentioned. And it were doubts about whether these techniques are even legal, or if they will regret it later, or maybe it were putting them in trouble. Abu Zubaydah wrote about his associations or moral views once again (it's quite common in this report), mentioning how the dark sunglasses and bandana made the interrogator look rather like a carjacker or another criminal. He managed to talk with one of them - before leaving the CIA black site - aware of him being 'the wrong guy', and dude felt like crossing the line in what he was ordered to do.
A few drawings that were published in 2018 after FOIA request:
⠀NEED MORE? 
What if you want more torture and actually good depictions or descriptions? Have a list. I will shortly explain what's exceptional about this one.
Testimony of Jumah al Dossari. It is well-written, really detailed, and this also applies to the physiological level. Mainstream sites don't usually go into shit, piss, blood and humiliation in related topics. Here, author goes. If I was reading similar descriptions without knowing the context and not seeing Amnesty's site url, I'd think it was some description from an article on problems in the porn industry.
Documentary 'Guantanamo Guidebook' (2005). It is on YouTube as a 'Inside Gitmo: Terrifying Methods of Torture at Guantanamo Bay Detention Camp' but age-restricted, I will put the links in the comments. It features volunteers put in the softcore procedures for a short period (around 2 days); on the other side were retired US Army interrogators and guards. You can see the volunteers do not enjoy it. This doc has sparked controversy and raised worries around the time of release, because of e.g. 'accustoming viewers to torture' (???), 'not having a clear point' or being a 'reality-show' in its convention.
'Guantanamo Diary' (2015, then in 2017 published with previously redacted parts), by Mohamedou Ould Slahi, who was imprisoned for 14 years without charges. I barely checked through it, as the book has around 460 pages. Descriptions are detailed (emotional state descriptions have a different style than in the testimony linked previously), including the dialogues and some black humour. The author points out the irony of both the general approach towards the detainees and of specific methods of torture, like earrape with a song that has love-themed lyrics.
⠀THE INTERROGATION OF OMAR KHADR 
On the left: Omar Khadr when 15 yo, photo taken in Afghanistan in 2002. On the right: photo 'recent' in 2015 (undated, though), taken in Bowden Institution in Innisfail, Alta., when Khadr was serving the rest of his sentence.
Khadr, born on 19th of September 1986 in Toronto, spent his first few years in Pakistan. In 1995, his father got arrested in connection with bombing of the Egyptian embassy in Islamabad, later freed. In 1996, the family moved to Canada for a short period, then returning to Jalalabad in Taliban-controlled eastern Afghanistan, where they lived in Osama bin Laden's compound. Khadr spent the last few years before the arrest mostly on travelling between Jalalabad, Kabul (Afghanistan) and Peshawar (Pakistan; family owned a house there). He finished the 8th grade in school, and claimed he enjoyed school and horse riding as a teenager. On 27th of July 2002, coalition forces moved in on Khadr's compound. Two Afghan gov soldiers were killed, and several US troops were wounded. U.S. Sgt. 1st Class Christopher Speer was killed by a grenade, and Khadr was accused of throwing it - according to one witness, whose testimony (and a whole story) is questionable. The teenager himself was badly wounded. Arrested that day, he was transferred to Guantanamo in October 2002.
Below is around 8 mins long footage, showing the different angles of the same interrogation by Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS). The original footage was about 7 hours long, and was recorded over four days - from 13th to 16th of February 2003. It appeared in the news in July 2008.
This report (link is directly to download) summarizes the four days mentioned, and the conclusions (or lack of them).
A more detailed timeline is linked in the sources (CBC website). In May 2017, Khadr underwent a 19-hour operation in Edmonton on a shoulder damaged during his capture. Two months later, the government publicly apologized Khadr, and it was confirmed that $10.5 million payout - mentioned a few days earlier - already took place.

case #6.
The fatal event took place last Monday, January 22, in the El Jardín neighborhood, located in the municipality of La Unión, in the department of Valle del Cauca. In records captured by security cameras, you can see the terrifying moment when Diana Carolina walks down a street. Her attacker, Hernando Suárez, chases her with a machete along a block before decapitating her in broad daylight, while several people look on.
Despite Diana Carolina's desperate attempts to flee, Suárez catches up with her and attacks her until she dies. In a heartbreaking attempt to survive, the victim asked for help from those in the area, but, unfortunately, no passerby intervened to stop the aggressor.

Tips for women who don't want to end up murdered.
1. if a man is a psycho don't hook up with him... I don't care what you think, you're not going to change him.
2.if it is too late and you're already in a relationship with a psycho then for god sake don't fucking cheat on him!
3. if you're a slut then don't get married
4. Murder him... He can't kill you if you kill him first... you're probably not as big as he is and nowhere near a strong so I recommend killing him while he is sleeping and with a gun... trying to beat him to death or strangling him to death will only make him laugh at you, and if you attack him with a bat or knife you are likely to only piss him off, so shooting him while he sleeps is the safest option... good luck
Tips for men who would rather not murder their partners.
1. If you are the jealous type then don't hook up with a slut....
2. If you can't handle other men looking at your woman then consider hooking up with ugly chicks...
