In 1989, during a fight for the puck, goalkeeper Clint Malarchuk had his throat cut by an opponent's skate.
As a result, the jugular vein was damaged and blood flowed like a stream onto the ice. From this spectacle, 11 spectators lost consciousness, two had a heart attack, and three hockey players threw up right on the ice.
Malarchuk got up and left the site himself. "I knew my mom was watching the match on TV and I didn't want to die in front of her."
Thanks to the prompt help of a coach (a former military doctor who served in Vietnam), he remained alive and continued his sports career.
By the way, in 2008, he accidentally managed to shoot himself in the head with a gun and stayed alive again.

Hattie McDaniel - the first American black actress to win an Oscar, 1940
She won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in Gone With the Wind. There was a scandal during the award ceremony, then in the USA blacks had to sit separately, or rather, do many things separately from whites.
The director of the film stood up for the actress, threatening to boycott the award. Nevertheless, it was not without troubles, which is why she has such a sad look in the photo.
McDaniel starred in more than 300 films, but in most of them her name was not even mentioned in the credits.

This day in history - the First World War began.
On June 28, 1914, the heir of Austria-Hungary, Franz Ferdinand, was killed. This led to the July crisis and attempts to solve something peacefully. It didn't work out - on July 28, Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia. Russia has announced the protection of the country. And as a result, a complex system of alliances led to the most destructive conflict in history at that time.
