TimetyTales Rare Historical Photos Titan Submersible Wreckage: Photos From the Ocean Floor On the morning of June 18, 2023, a small submersible named Titan slipped beneath the surface of the North Atlantic Ocean carrying five people bound for one of the most famous shipwrecks in history. None of them would return. The events of the next four days drew global attention and forced a reckoning with deep-seated questions about safety, regulatory oversight, and the limits of experimental deep-sea exploration that experts had been raising for years. Behind the search operation that dominated headlines was a story of ignored warnings and calculated risk that would only become fully visible once the wreckage was found.

Mom Slams Boy Into Cart Knocking Him Unconscious.  A 28-year-old Bristol Township, PA woman is locked up after police say she lost it with her young son inside a Tullytown Walmart earlier this month, dragging him around by a leash on his backpack and then slamming him into a shopping cart multiple times until he went unconscious. According to Tullytown Borough Police, officers got called to the store on Levittown Parkway on March 14 for a welfare check on a mom and her two small kids. A shopper who saw the whole thing told cops Samantha Eliza Fletcher looked like she was under the influence. She was screaming profanities at the children and dragging the boy across the floor by the backpack leash while he cried hysterically. The witness said Fletcher picked the kid up and dropped him into the cart, making him hit his head. Another shopper even stepped in and asked if she needed help. Fletcher reportedly told the woman she could try, and the boy calmed down a bit resting on th...

This photo wasn’t taken by a bystander. It was taken by Patricia Birmingham herself, seconds before she was k*lled outside her home in Spring, Texas

Image
This photo wasn’t taken by a bystander. It was taken by Patricia Birmingham herself, seconds before she was k*lled outside her home in Spring, Texas. In December 2021, prosecutors said Patricia was recording during a confrontation with her husband, Carey Birmingham. The footage shows him arguing with her in the driveway, and investigators said the encounter ended with him shooting her. The video later became central evidence in court, because it captured her final moments in real time. In March 2024, an all-women jury sentenced Carey Birmingham to 10 years in prison for Patricia’s d*ath, along with a fine.  WATCH VIDEO FOOTAGE Under Texas law, he is expected to be eligible for parole after five years, a detail that sparked widespread outrage and renewed debate about how the legal system handles domestic violence cases. It’s hard to shake the idea behind that image: Patricia wasn’t just documenting an argument. She was trying to leave proof. And even with proof, the ending...

The Nazis had a secret plan known as Operation Greif. German soldiers wore American uniforms and drove stolen US jeeps to fool the enemy. Their objective was to confuse the Americans by switching road signs and cutting telephone wires. Since they were dressed in incorrect uniforms, appeared in battle were not treated as regular prisoners in the event of a capture. A soldier who got caught in his own uniform would often be sent to a prison camp, but these men were considered spies. There were three men, Schmidt, Billing and Pernass, which were caught and after a very quick trial, were executed on the spot in the cold. The scariest occurred on December 23, 1944. The men were lashed to wooden posts in a Belgium courtyard. An American firing squad was on hand and a med. officer was present to confirm a dead body. In a famous picture Wilhelm Schmidt hangs limp on the ropes after the shots. The above picture depicts a severe reality of what spies face.

Dad Convicted of Murdering His Five-Week-Old Baby Girl. A 35-year-old man from England has been found guilty of murdering his tiny daughter after she suffered a catastrophic brain injury and dozens of broken bones from repeated assaults at their home. Sean Jefferson, of Birch Court, was convicted at Stafford Crown Court of killing Darcy-Leigh Jefferson. The five-week-old baby, born premature, died in hospital on March 29, 2022, just two days after getting the fatal head injury. Court heard she'd been hit with multiple attacks in the days before, ending up with 47 rib fractures plus breaks in both legs inflicted at different times. Prosecutors said Jefferson caused the brain injury by shaking her violently or striking her head against something when she was crying. The mom, Amy Leigh Clark, 34, got convicted of causing or allowing the death of a child and two counts of causing or allowing serious harm. Charges of murder or manslaughter against her were dropped earlier in t...

Washington Teacher Venmoed Gas Money to Student to Keep Relationship Going.

Washington Teacher Venmoed Gas Money to Student to Keep Relationship Going. A former high school teacher in Washington state sent cash for gas to a 17-year-old student through Venmo while they were involved in a relationship that started online, according to court details reported by the New York Post. McKenna Kindred, now 27, used to teach at Central Valley High School in Spokane Valley. Things kicked off in June 2022 when the teen spotted her Instagram account and they began exchanging messages that included explicit texts, photos of her breasts, and videos. By fall 2022 the boy's mom, Ashley Beckley, noticed her son got gas money through Venmo from someone she later learned was a teacher and thought it seemed off at the time. In November 2022, while her husband Kyle was away on a hunting trip, Kindred had the student come over to their place. The two spent about three and a half hours together, according to texts and her later admissions. After that, messages showed the t...

He was only four years old when he was taken from his home and thrown into the nightmare of Buchenwald

Image
He was only four years old when he was taken from his home and thrown into the nightmare of Buchenwald. His name was Joseph Schlipstein, and among thousands of faces filled with fear, his was one of the youngest. In that place, there was no mercy for children. But his father refused to give up. In a desperate move, he hid Joseph inside a suitcase, keeping him out of sight from the SS guards. For a while, that small case of canvas and leather became his shelter — a thin shield against a world trying to erase him. The hiding place, however, could not stay secret forever. One day, the guards found him. And something unexpected happened: instead of punishing him, some of them — maybe out of a sudden sense of pity, maybe just on impulse — began calling him the “mascot” of the camp. It was a strange and almost unbelievable act in a place created to destroy every sign of kindness. And so, Joseph stayed alive. In 1948, when he was seven, he sat in front of an American journalist. He ...

In 1991, at the ripe age of 15, Latasha went to her local Korean owned food mart and never made it out.

Image
In 1991, at the ripe age of 15, Latasha went to her local Korean owned food mart and never made it out.  The store owner’s wife, Soon Ja Du, mistook her for trying to steal a bottle of orange juice and a minor struggle ensued. Du grabbed Latasha and ended up getting pushed to the ground. Du then went and got her gun and pointed it at Latasha. Latasha bends down, picks up the orange juice, and places it on the counter. As Latasha had walked away to leave the store, Du shot Latasha in the back of the head at a 3 foot distance, k.illing her immediately.  Du tried to claim self defense, but there were 2 eyewitnesses and the store’s security camera showed otherwise. The jury convicted Du and advised the judge to go with the maximum sentence of 16 years. Du walked away with 400 hours of community service, 5 years probation, and a $500 fine, as the judge said although Mrs. Du acted inappropriately, her actions were justified. Judge Joyce Karlin states that Mrs. Du was the v...

The Mysterious Disappearance in the Tatra Mountains

Image
The Mysterious Disappearance in the Tatra Mountains  In August 2023, three friends—Henrik, Maria, and Thomas—set out on what was meant to be an unforgettable hiking adventure in the majestic Tatra Mountains, straddling the border between Slovakia and Poland. Henrik, the most adventurous of the trio, had recently claimed to discover the entrance to a hidden cave tucked along a remote rock face. Excited and curious, he insisted no official map had ever marked it, and he believed they were about to explore something truly undiscovered. Before leaving, he shared the exact GPS coordinates with his parents, just to be safe. The friends began their journey, eager for exploration and discovery—but they never returned. After days without contact, Henrik’s parents alerted authorities. Rescue teams scoured the mountains with helicopters, search dogs, and intensive ground operations. Yet no trace was found—no backpacks, no equipment, no sign of the friends themselves. Officials suggeste...

This picture looks like a normal dad with his little girl smiling for the camera.

Image
This picture looks like a normal dad with his little girl smiling for the camera. But it’s actually one of the most horrifying true stories in America. The man is Franklin Delano Floyd. The little girl is Suzanne Marie Sevakis, a child he stole back in the 1970s when she was only a few years old. After kidnapping her, Floyd wiped away who she really was. He gave her new names, moved her all over the country, and pretended she was his daughter. She never had a chance to be herself. As she grew up, he forced her to be his girlfriend, then his wife under fake names. They even had a baby boy together named Michael. In 1990 Suzanne finally tried to run away with her son and get free. She didn’t make it. Someone found her badly hurt on the side of the road, and she died in the hospital soon after. Little Michael went to foster care and got adopted by a new family. Then in 1994 Floyd stole him back. Michael has never been seen again. This happy-looking photo is all that’s left of...

Image
On September 13, 1944, a princess from India named Noor Inayat Khan died at the Dachau concentration camp. She had been tortured by the Nazis and then shot in the head. The Germans knew her by a different name, Nora Baker, and thought she was a British spy. She had gone into France using the code name "Madeline." She carried a radio transmitter from one safe house to another, helping her Resistance group communicate while the Gestapo chased her. Wireless operators in France were expected to be captured or killed within six weeks. Noor lasted more than three times as long. During her time in France, every other operator in her network was caught, and Noor became the only link left between London and Paris. Her job was extremely dangerous and important. She was offered a way to return to Britain, but she refused. In fact, she once told London that she was having "the time of her life" and thanked them for letting her do this work. Noor was captured by the Gesta...

Julissa Thaler, a 28-year-old woman from Minnesota, was found with the body of her son in the trunk of her car in the early morning of May 20, 2022. She told the officer someone had shot his son, but that wasn't the case. Thaler had lost custody of her son, 6-year-old Eli Hart, due to her drug abuse and history of mental illness. Eli was placed in foster care while Thaler and Eli's biological father, Tory Hart, battled over who would have custody. However, Thaler was finally granted full custody despite her history with substance abuse. On the day Eli was fatally shot, Thaler became angry when he refused to go to bed early. She took him downstairs, strapped him into her car seat, and fired nine shots into his tiny body. This occurred just 10 days after she was granted full custody.
