“The 7 Worst Natural Disasters in American History”
I think the list is missing the event that was #1 by far: the Volcanic Eruptions of Mount Tambora. That volcano was far away from our shores, so no Americans were killed by lava or ash, but the effects of that series of eruptions caused the infamous “year without a…
Pete Hegseth calls on Jesus to bless his Crusade
To honor the Crusader legacy, just call him Peter the Lyin’-Hearted. In another demonstration that facts and satire have become indistinguishable, this is real, not from The Onion. Every day, on bended knee, with your family, in your schools, in your churches in the name of Jesus Christ. I’m not…

The Lars Mittank story is just wild. Worth digging up one of the many YouTube videos on the case. “Went crazy and vanished” isn’t a standard solution to a missing persons case.
He’s most likely been dead all this time. He was hit in the head in the fight, and his behavior immediately turned bizarre & paranoid. Suffering a head injury in a foreign country, then calling your mother to tell her to cancel all your credit cards because a bunch of unnamed people are after you, then running away from an airport into a forest, leaving all your possessions behind, is indicative of someone who’s probably not gonna be alive much longer. My guess is, the paranoia worsened until he ended up finding some cave or other secluded place to hide in, and died in there.
One thing about these people who vanish, they seem to have a real nose for finding places to die where they won’t be found. Ray Gricar, Maura Murray, Jim Sullivan, Rico Harris, Brian Shaffer (who went into a Columbus bar and never came out), Connie Converse, Mel Wiley, Robert William Fisher, Jason Derek Brown, DB Cooper… all gone without a trace, and Connie even managed to disappear her Volkswagen Beetle along with herself! At least the others had the courtesy to leave their cars behind, so amateur sleuths could come up with ludicrous theories from what few clues are left behind inside them.
The all time winner is Zaharie Shah, who managed to intentionally disappear 239 people and the entire plane he was piloting, MH370. He’d developed a complex plan for achieving this, and executed it almost to perfection. His only mistakes: failing to realize the plane could be satellite tracked even with the power shut off, and leaving behind a revealing flight plan on his home flight simulator in which he ditched the plane far into the Indian Ocean. Other than that, his diabolical suicide plan was entirely successful.
