The Last Titanic Supper
This eerie menu from the Titanic outlines the last meal of the passengers on board the Titanic on the night it sank. It was shortly after this deliciously hearty dinner when the Titanic sank, taking down with it the frightened passengers with their last meal of roast beef, boiled potatoes, rice, plum pudding and stewed figs. Unfortunately, most of the passengers drowned or froze to death in the icy waters.
Nuclear Drills in American Schools
During the Cold War, when there was the ongoing threat of a nuclear attack, American schoolkids would undergo drills to duck and cover in case of a nuclear bomb. It’s kind of terrifying that they thought this would offer the children protection in this scenario, but here they are in 1951, ducking and covering. Thankfully, these maneuvers would only ever be precautions, and hopefully they will remain so for all eternity.
