These vintage photos feel like discovering a forgotten time capsule — each one tells a story that words alone never could. Truly unbelievable and beautifully preserved pieces of the past.

The guy with two heads reminds me of an excuse I use to explain my beer gut: "It's my unborn twin"!!

Franz Reichalt testing his parachute on dummies 1st, then deciding to test it on himself, then jumping off one of the lower places on the Eiefell Tower, still 150 foot drop, and then he promptly died! Sorry Franz, you win a Darwin Award!!

I would have thought that daily chest and abdomen X Rays would have had very bad consequences like leukaemia due to bone marrow damage and red cell production.

2:07 did the various goodyear blimps over the years, with their seemingly small gondolas where people operate and ride along, did these airships even have a toilet aboard? I imagine only a bucket in the corner with maybe a curtain to separate the crapper from the rest of the people in a space the size of the average living room

Funny how people romanticize the past in these vintage photos — if most of you actually had to live back then without Wi-Fi, healthcare, or basic rights, you’d be begging to come back.

The pic at 1:32 makes me wonder why all the people are walking on the same side of the street...? Why not jump over to the other side where its not so crowded?

Gas was about 30 to 33 cents a gallon before the OPEC issue in 1973... we see here 48 and 49 cents a gallon a year later... OPEC was and is not our friends

1:48 the mushroom cloud never made sense to me. why isn't the cloud shaped more like a ball starting at ground zero...or at least half a ball...? If somebody can explain it would be appreciated. TY in advance.

Mr. Pinion did NOT have two heads. It was an unusually large cyst. A side/freak show promoter put in his show, made a wax mask for the cyst and showed him off. No, it couldn't smile or such. It was a friggin cyst!

Why was the crowd not applauding Mr. Tanaka for his incredible accomplishment? So many of these pics are so sad.
