Bootleggers. USA, 1925

Bootleggers - sellers and suppliers of alcohol during the years of prohibition in the United States. There were 5 times more women among them than men. The fact is that in many states there was a law prohibiting the search of women, which criminal syndicates did not fail to take advantage of. And women came to bootlegging on their own very willingly: with all the danger of the enterprise, earnings could be fantastic.

In the Middle Ages, those convicted of a crime were subjected to ordeal ("God's judgment", or trial by water and fire). In one of the variants of the trial, the convict had to lower his hand into boiling water — if the hand remained unburned, it meant that God protected him, and the person was released.

Pakistan International Airlines Flight 404

An aviation accident involving a Fokker F27 that disappeared without a trace shortly after takeoff on August 25, 1989. At 07:36 a.m. the aircraft, a domestic scheduled passenger flight operated by PAI Airlines, departed from the northern city of Gilgit, Pakistan to the capital, Islamabad. One of the plane's pilots made a routine radio exchange at 08:50, which was the last communication with the plane.

After the disappearance, several aerial search missions were launched by the Pakistani military during the first three or four days. Later, ground search teams made up of civilians and military personnel were organized to search the area around the 8,125-meter-high Nanga Parbat Mountain. The plane is believed to have crashed in the Himalayas, but no wreckage has yet been found.
