Earlier this month schoolboy Harris Wolobah sadly lost his life after eating the spiciest chip in the world.

The One Chip Challenge emerged as a social media trend back in 2016, following the release of Paqui's Carolina Reaper chip, renowned as one of the world's spiciest chili peppers.

Participating in the challenge entails devouring the chip and refraining from consuming any food or beverages afterward in an attempt to endure the intense heat.

Tragically, 14-year-old Harris Wolobah, a student from Massachusetts, received this fiery tortilla chip from a classmate as part of the challenge and consumed it.

Shortly after ingesting the extremely spicy chip, Harris began experiencing severe abdominal pain. His condition rapidly deteriorated, and by the time he was rushed to the hospital, he had already tragically lost his life.

In 2004, the future President of Ukraine, Viktor Yuschenko, fell victim to poisoning with Dioxin during the lead-up to the presidential elections.

Experts confirmed that Yushchenko had been exposed to TCDD dioxin, with his body containing a concentration 1,000 times higher than normal.

The poisoning incident has been linked to a dinner gathering with senior Ukrainian officials held on September 5.

Yushchenko himself implicated Davyd Zhvania, the godfather of one of his children, in the dioxin poisoning.

Although he survived the assassination attempt, he has lasting skin scars as a consequence.

Following four hours of intricate surgery and the application of 462 stitches, Rodney Fox survived one of the most severe non-fatal Great White Shark attacks in history, living to share his incredible tale.

In Minnesota, October 1962, a wild animal nearly sparked World War Ill. At around midnight, a guard at a Duluth air base saw a figure climbing the security fence.

Assuming a Soviet saboteur, the guard shot at the figure and activated the "sabotage alarm," alerting all bases in the area.

However, at Volk Field in Wisconsin, the alarm was incorrectly wired, and the Klaxon sounded, signaling a nuclear war and ordering nuclear- armed F-106A interceptors to take off.

By the time the error was realized, the aircraft were already starting down the runway.

Luckily, a truck racing from the command center successfully signaled all the aircraft to stop, preventing a potential nuclear war.

The intruder was just a black bear.
