Chris McCandless

On September 6th of 1992, the decomposed body of hiker Chris McCandless was discovered by some moose hunters just outside of Denali National Park. Chris was 24 when he died and he was found inside of a rusting bus that served as a makeshift shelter for trappers, dog mushers, and other backcountry visitors. Tragically though, Chris had taped a note outside of the door saying that was in need of medical attention, that he was searching for berries to eat so don’t leave, just wait for his return. It was the story of Chris that sparked the book and movie Into The Wild.

Concord Air France Flight 4590

In July of 2000, Air France Flight 4590 was scheduled to fly from Paris, France, to New York City. However during takeoff, the aircraft ran over some debris that was on the runway which caused a tire to blow up after a fuel tank was punctured. This caused a fire and engine failure. All of the 100 passengers and nine crew members that were aboard the flight died after the plane crashed into a hotel and four people in the hotel also died.
