atomic bombs on japan these bombs would devastate the cities of hiroshima and nagasaki killing over 100 000 people america's goals in dropping these two bombs was to hasten japan surrender and end world war ii as well as avoid any further allied casualties but america also wanted to showcase to the world really the soviet union that it had this new extremely destructive technology at their disposal so on august 6 1945 at 8 15 a.m the crew of the b-29 bomber enola gay dropped the first ever wartime atomic bomb over hiroshima japan at the time hiroshima was a bustling regional hub that served as a military communications center storage depot and troop gathering area when the bomb detonated over hiroshima immediately there was this flash of boiling light that scorched everything it touched the blast burned at 10 000 degrees fahrenheit and the 70 000 people that were within 1600 feet of the initial blast radius were instantly incinerated after the dust had settled five square miles of the city were just rubble the sumitomo bank was within that blast radius that morning before the bomb detonated an elderly resident of hiroshima had been sitting on the front steps of the bank waiting for the doors to open they were clutching their walking stick and they had their other arm against their chest right as the bomb exploded and when it did they were one of the 70 000 people that were instantaneously vaporized this hiroshima shadow as it's called is all that is left of this person their shadow remained on the front steps of this bank for over 20 years before they finally removed that section of the stairs and brought it to a museum in 2008 famous inventor peter madsen along with a former nasa contractor began what they called the ultimate diy project in copenhagen denmark their plan was to build a rocket ship from scratch and then fly it into space this project made madsen and his partner kind of like anti-establishment celebrities in denmark but by 2014 they still hadn't completed their rocket ship and in fact their efforts were stalled because madsen and his partner had had this really public nasty falling out and madsen had actually left the project and moved literally across the street and set up his own rocket building project with a separate team three years later in 2017 a freelance journalist named kim val who was staying in copenhagen with her boyfriend at the time heard about the rival rocketship makers and wanted to do a story about them in the four years kim had been a freelance reporter she had traveled to places like haiti to write about practitioners of voodoo to sri lanka to document the tourism that goes on on their former battlefields from their long civil war and to cuba to follow the underground network of people bringing tv and internet culture to the people kim was fascinated with what she called the undercurrents of rebellion and here was just such a story literally down the road from where she was staying she desperately wanted an interview with madsen but he was proving to be very difficult to get in touch with and as months went on and still no luck she was starting to lose hope that she would ever get to do this story but on august 10 2017 the day before she and her boyfriend were planning to leave denmark she got a text message from madsen saying that not only would he do the interview but he would do it that night while riding on his homemade submarine prior to being known for his rocket building escapades it was this homemade submarine that really put him on the map of famous inventors kim immediately said yes this is exactly what she was hoping for and then some the idea that she got to write from the submarine would only add to the story before she left she asked her boyfriend if he wanted to come along and he would say that he was really close to wanting to go but their friends had thrown them this big going away party because they were going to leave the next day and since kim was already not going to be there he told her he would stay with all their friends to make sure they weren't too upset and that she should just go have a good time and that he would see her in a few hours when she got back kim leaves their apartment and heads down to the dock to meet madsen she and madsen would get on the homemade submarine at 7pm but before going underneath the water madsen thought it'd be funny to drive past their apartment so kim could wave to her boyfriend and all of her friends that were at this party and so they drive past the apartment kim waves to her boyfriend and all the people at their going away party her boyfriend would take a couple pictures of her and then kim would go back down into the submarine madsen would follow her close the hatch behind them and disappear into the ocean later that night when kim still hadn't returned kim's boyfriend started to get worried that something could be wrong they did have a flight very early the next morning and so it seemed odd that they wouldn't be back by now and so he took his bike and he went down to the dock and he just waited for them and by 1 45 in the morning and still no sign of them he decides to call the police police launch a search and all night they're looking and they can't find the submarine they can't get in touch with madsen the next morning the submarine was spotted near a lighthouse and one of the boats that was out looking for them saw madsen climb out of the hatch right as the submarine actually sank into the water so madsen's now swimming in the ocean and the submarine's gone under and there's no sign of kim the boat goes over and picks up madsen brings him to shore madsen would tell police that he started to notice some ballast issues with the submarine and he thought it might cause it to sink and so he took kim to the surface and dropped her off at a nearby island he went back down into the submarine to try to fix the issue he said he couldn't do it and he was only able to barely escape before the submarine ultimately sank and if you just go over to that island right over there you're bound to find kim but kim was never on that island this is the picture of kim waving goodbye to her boyfriend and to the goodbye party right after this picture was taken kim and madsen would go down into the submarine madsen would offer kim coffee and cookies and she would sit down in the control area while madsen would step away go into his room and begin watching videos of women being beheaded on his computer shortly after watching those videos he walked up behind kim and beheaded her one month later kim's torso would wash up on a beach and her head would be discovered in a plastic bag along with a knife it's unclear why madsen did this but he had previously tried to get other women to take a private ride on a submarine with him kim was just the first person to accept madsen was given a life sentence in 1978 16 year old bridget geiger was waiting outside her home in ohio for a boy named jeffrey to take her to prom she wasn't particularly excited to go to prom with jeffrey he was known to be really nervous around girls and so she figured it was going to be a pretty awkward date but nobody else had asked her to go and she really wanted to go to prom so she said yes when jeffrey showed up she was immediately disappointed he was wearing this odd ensemble of vest and bow tie as opposed to the standard tuxedo that she was anticipating him wearing and so now they weren't going to match he was also so nervous that he was visibly shaking and couldn't pin her corsage to her dress and so bridget's mom had to come out and put the corsage on after the corsage was on bridget's mom would take a couple of very awkward photos of them kind of stiffly standing in front of her house before they ultimately got in jeff's car and headed for the prom when they arrived bridget wanted to go on the dance floor to see her other friends to kind of lighten the mood because she was not having a good time with jeffrey so far but she did stay with him and it was clear that jeffrey hated being at the prom he hated being around the swarming group of teenagers bridget felt kind of bad and said hey jeffrey do you want to go sit down and just grab a bite to eat over at the little food cart they have here jeffrey's very relieved and says yes i'd love to do that and the pair leave the dance floor and walk over to the little food court area as they're about to sit down jeffrey pulls the chair out for bridget she sits down he kind of pushes her in like a gentleman but then instead of sitting down with her he just walks away without telling her where he's going bridget assumed he was just going to the bathroom but after a really long amount of time had passed and it was clear he had not just gone to the bathroom she got up to go look for him and so she went on the dance floor she can't find him in the building and so she goes outside to see if maybe his car's not there anymore maybe he just left and she sees his car it's still in the lot when she turns around to go back into the prom she sees jeffrey sitting on a curb just eating mcdonald's cheeseburgers and she goes over to him and she's like what are you doing out here and so he told her that he just wanted to step outside and get a couple cheeseburgers and then come back and he would sit with her while she ate but they wouldn't let him back in and so he just went and got more cheeseburgers and thought he would wait here until she came outside and now that she was outside she couldn't get back in either so she just says hey i'd like to just go home and so jeffrey is mortified and he tells her i'm so sorry i wanted this to be a nice evening for you i'm sorry it wasn't he drives her home he says goodbye she walks into her house he drives off and that was that bridgette only saw jeffrey one more time after that it was about a week after prom and jeffrey actually invited her to come over his house for what he was calling a house party and bridget's like there's no way this kid's throwing a house party he can barely stand to be around just me let alone a crowd of people but she was polite and said sure i'd love to come to your house party she gets there and there's no food there's no music there's like three people there and as soon as she walks in all jeffrey wanted to do was have a seance and communicate with the devil she was so immediately creeped out by jeffrey's behavior that after only a couple of minutes she just turned around and left his house party and did not see him again well until 13 years later when she would read about him in the newspaper 13 years later on july 22nd 1991 milwaukee wisconsin police spot a man named tracy edwards running down the road in handcuffs they run over to him and they say what's going on and he says that a man was holding him hostage in his apartment that he threatened to kill me i was able to overpower him and escape and here i am the police go to this apartment that he apparently escaped from and they knock on the door the door opens and the police are confronted by this tall man who introduces himself as jeffrey he tells police this is all a big misunderstanding and that tracy edwards is a friend of his and i don't know what's gotten into him and the police were actually close to believing him they would even say he was really convincing but as they're talking to him one of the officers kind of looks behind jeffrey into his apartment and he sees on the coffee table what are clearly pictures of dismembered body parts and so they arrest jeffrey and when his apartment was fully searched a house of horrors is revealed in addition to photos of body parts the apartment itself was littered with human remains there were several human heads in the freezer and the refrigerator and in his bedroom was a 57-gallon drum containing more dead bodies that were decomposing in chemicals there was also evidence that suggested jeffrey was eating these people now jeffrey lived in a crowded apartment complex and so other neighbors had complained about this awful smell coming from his room but he had been able to explain it away and convince everybody that it was just some bad meat however the most horrifying revelation about how jeffrey was able to conceal these horrible crimes he was committing in the middle of a city apartment would come a few days later apparently two months before tracy edwards had run out of jeffrey's apartment in handcuffs and flagged those officers down another boy had left the apartment in handcuffs and was running down the road and police stopped him but the boy couldn't really speak he wasn't able to articulate why he was there or what he was doing and as police are talking to him jeffrey comes running up the road flags the officers down and thanks them for finding his boyfriend they had gotten into a lover's quarrel and that everything was just fine and so the police shrug it off and say no problem we'll even give you a ride back to your apartment and so they drive the boy and jeffrey back to jeffrey's apartment they watch them go inside and the police leave but if the police had paid a little bit more attention they would have seen there was a hole drilled in the back of his head by jeffrey he had been pouring acid into this kid's head to try to control him and that was why this boy couldn't speak and as soon as the police let them go back into the apartment jeffrey killed the boy because jeffrey bridget's prom date turned out to be none other than infamous serial killer jeffrey dahmer who killed 17 people over a 13-year period just days after this picture was taken of jeffrey and bridget right before they headed off to prom together jeffrey would kill his first victim and start that 13-year killing spree dahmer was ultimately given a life sentence but was killed by another inmate so that's going to do it guys let me know what you thought of these three stories in the comments and i will pin the best comment at the top of the comment section if you enjoyed today's video
