9. Leatherman
For over 30 years during the late 19th century, a vagabond known as the “Leatherman” repeatedly walked the same 365-mile (587 km) circuit between the Connecticut and Hudson rivers, completing the journey every 34 days. He stayed in rock shelters, locally nicknamed “leatherman caves,” and stopped at various towns along the way for food and supplies.

8. Slovenian War Hero
Born to a working-class family in Yugoslavia in 1925, Albina Mali-Hočevar became a resistance fighter at just 16 years old. She was one of eight siblings and went to work at a young age, helping to support her family after her father died in 1934. When Axis forces conquered Yugoslavia in 1941, Albina joined the National Liberation Army, an anti-Nazi resistance movement.

7. The Hindenburg
In the 1930’s, zeppelins or hydrogen filled airships were the future of air travel. The Hindenburg was a German commercial passenger-carrying airship and the largest aircraft of its type ever built, measuring 804 feet (245 meters) long. It carried passengers between Germany and the United States at a cruising speed of 84 miles per hour (135 km/hr).
The luxurious airship had a bar, a smoking lounge, and even cabins.

6. George Mallory And Sandy Irvine
Mountaineers George Mallory and Sandy Irvine vanished from the Northeast Ridge of Mount Everest during the 1924 British Mount Everest expedition. They were last seen about 800 feet (245 meters) from the summit before they disappeared from sight. This is the last known photo ever taken of Mallory and Irvine before their unsuccessful climb.

5. Japan Airlines Flight 123
Japan Airlines Flight 123 began experiencing mechanical problems 12 minutes after takeoff on August 12, 1985 while en route from Haneda Airport in Tokyo to Osaka. During the routine flight, the Boeing 747 experienced sudden decompression, and part of the plane’s tail and vertical stabilizer were destroyed. At some point, the aircraft veered hundreds of miles off course.

4. Joseph Avery
One day in July 1854, a man named Joseph Avery and two other men were working on a dredging boat on the Niagara River, supposedly while drinking. Not surprisingly, they lost control of the boat amid the river’s strong current, and it smashed into a rock.

3. Archduke Franz Ferdinand
June 28, 1914, sparked the beginning of WWI. On that day, Archduke Franz Ferdinand, the heir to the unstable Austro-Hungarian empire, and his wife, Countess Sophie Chotek, were on a trip in Sarajevo in an open vehicle. Someone snapped an image of the couple before things went south. On that fateful day, there was a series of assassination attempts, starting when a black package landed on the open hood of his car.

2. Johnny Gosch
Johnny Gosch, a 12-year-old paperboy from West Des Moines, Iowa, disappeared on the morning of September 5, 1982 while delivering newspapers just two blocks away from his home. According to eyewitnesses, someone forced the boy into a blue car and quickly sped off, leading authorities to believe he was abducted.

1. Challenger Crew
In early 1986, all seven crew members of the Space Shuttle Challenger died when the spacecraft exploded just 73 seconds after takeoff, tragically disintegrating over the Atlantic Ocean. The last known photo of the Challenger crew was taken as they walked down the ramp, unknowingly to their deaths.
