A story in 5 parts
Locomotive 91 023 at the front of the 12:10 Kings Cross to Leeds service on the 17th of October, 2000. A piece rail shattered underneath it as it passed over at a speed of 115mph, just south of Hatfield. 4 people sitting in the buffet coach (far right) would be killed after it was torn open by an overhead line stanchion.
Locomotive 91 023 at the rear of the 04:45 Newcastle to Kings Cross service, 4 months later on the 28th of February 2001. A driver asleep at the wheel of his Land Rover, towing a loaded car trailer, left the M62 Motorway near Selby, continued through a field and crashed onto the tracks. Shortly before 06:15, the Driving Van Trailer (cab car) would strike the wreckage, partially derail, and collide with a freight train 515 metres down the track, flattening the DVT and resulting in the deaths of 10 people, including both train drivers. The driver of the 1 month old freight loco died by drowning in mud. The troglodyte driving the Land Rover escaped the crash unharmed (but at least not unpunished).
On the 25th of July, 2000 improperly repaired wear strip would fall from the engine cowling of Continental flight 55. The Concorde would then run over this strip, causing the front right tyre to explode, sending debris into the port (lhs) wing, igniting the fuel inside. The Concorde would continue in flight for another 2 minutes before crashing into a hotel, killing all 109 souls and 4 people on the ground. All Concordes would be grounded after this to receive modifications to strengthen their fuel tanks, however, by the time they re-entered service in November 2001, the majority of their passengers had died 2 months prior in 9/11. The type would be retired just under 2 years later.

Following this, 91 023 was refurbished with the rest of the class and renumbered to 91 132. It became the first Class 91 to be scrapped in April 2021.

I recall seeing that on the news, and everybody was wondering what happened to cause those flames for the first few hours I recall someone on the news swearing up and down it had to be a Bird Strike.
It's a shame they canned them off they had the safest flight record of any aircraft that's ever flown before that crash.

Puyi was definitely a proto-lolcow.

The battle of the Aegates/Egati Islands was one of the last engagements of the First Punic War, where a fleet of 200 Roman ships defeated a Carthaginian navy made up of 250 ships burdened with supplies off the western coast of Sicily.
In 2010, the battle site was discovered by a fisherman. While the wooden hulls of the ships have long since rotten away, the bronze rams at the front of the ships survived.
Restored Roman ram. The figure above the text is most likely Victoria, the Roman goddess of victory.
Close up on the same ram's inscription, which lists the names of two quaestors (Roman public official in charge of finances). M(arco) Populicio L(ucii) f(ilio) and C̣(aio) Paperio Ti(berii) f(ilio). The former would be elected consul (the highest office in the Roman republic) a few years after the battle in 232 bc.
An inscription in Punic on a Carthaginian ram.
Discoveries at the site are still ongoing. In 2019, several Roman helmets were discovered on the ocean bottom.
Close up on the helmet crest
And a heavily corroded Roman sword was discovered too.
Hundreds of amphorae were discovered surrounding the wreckage too, corroborating the ancient historian Polybius' account that the Carthaginian ships were overloaded with goods.

I'm not sure where they are now, but apparently the rams and helmets have been on display at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford and, most appropriately, the ancient Temple of Romulus in Rome.

A compilation of images of the horrors we had to deal with back in 2020 and 2021, future generations would look back at this as one of the worst times of human history and it's culprits will be viewed as massively hated people.

Also extra pictures of Social Engineering towards it's citizens as well as people who succumb to the false COVID narrative.
The worst part about it is that there are still people who want to bring back these horrors and make it permanent. Imagine going back in time 20 years ago and showing them these images.

The government here has eased up on this shit, but left the option for private business to do what they want, so of course some still require proof of vaccination (some up to boosters) and mask usage.
If you're going to a medical facility, you need to wear a mask...

Shit I still see social engineered weirdos wearing covid mask while being alone in their car.
Hopefully future generations will look back at this time period with scorn and mockery.
