The Tragic Final Prediction Nostradamus Allegedly Had For Himself
Nostradamus: History's most famous guy who gazed at a bowl of herbal water and wrote apocalyptic poetry about it. If you squint hard enough and do a little bit of abstract interpretation you could believe that he predicted many, many tragic and horrific historical events. Some of Nostradamus' most often-cited greatest prophetic hits include the Great Fire of London in 1666, the rise of Adolf Hitler to power, the atomic bombs being dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the 9/11 World Trade Center terrorist attacks, and more. And at the end of his, he might have seen his own death coming.

Film fans of all generations were saddened to hear that one of Hollywood's most revered legends, Donald Sutherland, died recently at the age of 88 from an unspecified "long illness," as Today quotes. With a life of many tragedies and a career spanning over six decades, around 200 film credits, and a litany of awards to his name, the actor brought his tremendous talent and potent presence to every role, large and small. Few things illustrate his impact more than the words of the fellow celebrities with whom he worked.

What Happened To The Bodies Of The Radium Girls?
By now, modern industry has done a decent job vetting hazardous elements we could come into contact with — albeit often accidentally. Lead was slowly removed from paint starting in 1960, although it still exists in certain paints today. We all know that handling mercury with our bare hands is a dumb idea, although some cosmetic products still contain it. In the late 1800s arsenic pills hit the market as a way to beautify skin, only to cause arsenic poisoning.
The Most Bizarre Unsolved Mysteries Of The Vietnam War
It's no stretch to say that the Vietnam War was a rather controversial conflict, especially in the eyes of the American public. More generally speaking, though, this was largely a war perpetuated by communist North Vietnam against West-aligned South Vietnam and its allies (including the United States). The overall conflict ran from 1954 to 1975, with the North Vietnamese trying to unite both halves of the country under a communist flag, coming to a close with the fall of South Vietnam. Amidst all of that, however, the Vietnam War saw some messed up things, and, like many other wars throughout history, plays host to quite a few unsolved mysteries.
What It Was Like The Day The Music Died
History is full of significant events that have come to define the day they happened on. However, it's easy to forget the grand scheme of things around such incidents. For instance, the day Martin Luther King Jr. died started civil disturbance all over the U.S., and news spread like wildfire on the day of Kobe Bryant's death, shocking fans and colleagues and prompting memorial events and gestures. It can be incredibly fascinating to look into the events surrounding such tragedies, since it provides so much more insight into the incident itself.
