This is just a bunch of astronauts hanging out at the pool and generally being awesome, right? Nope. That’s the crew of Apollo 1. See the hatch on the capsule that opens inward? They died in that capsule, unable to escape the fire. — M1ghtyPen

In this photo a man took of his wife diving, you can probably see another diver on the sea floor. That’s Tina Watson. A few minutes before this photo, her husband took off her respirator and held her underwater until she drowned. He then went up to the surface and told the other divers she was “in trouble”, and you can see someone else swimming to try and save her. — crowwreak

This photo was taken just after LBJ was sworn in on Air Force One, immediately following the murder of JFK. In the foreground you’ll notice Jackie Kennedy visibly grieving the loss of her husband. LBJ turned towards his longtime friend, Texas congressman Albert Thomas, who gave him a surreptitious wink and a smile. White House photographer Cecil Stoughton, who took the photo, said it could have been “innocent or sinister, and I would have leaned towards the latter.” The man in charge of Air Force One at the time, General Godfrew McHugh later said LBJ’s behavior on the plane was “obscene.” — Deerhoof_Fan
