When Cassius fought Sonny (1964)
Images of Cassius Clay (post fight) were clipped from a colorized version of this:
Vukovar, Yugoslavia 1992
Vukovar, Yugoslavia in 1992 during the Croatian War of Independence.
The Battle of Vukovar was an 87-day siege of Vukovar in eastern Croatia by the Yugoslav People’s Army (JNA), supported by various paramilitary forces from Serbia, between August and November 1991.
[…]
During the battle, shells and rockets were fired into the town at a rate of up to 12,000 a day. At the time, it was the fiercest and most protracted battle seen in Europe since 1945, and Vukovar was the first major European town to be entirely destroyed since the Second World War.
A 2013 discussion on Reddit includes analyses of this and other photos found in this collection, and suggests that the Santa photo may have been Yugoslav staged propaganda.

Radar Station DYE-2 Greenland
Abandoned DYE-2 radar station, Greenland
The dart is still in the dartboard and the beer is still on the counter in the bar. So untouched is DYE-2. Slowly, the weather and wind have encroached and in a few years it will probably be difficult to get in and see this unique, American cold war relic on the ice sheet in 
Greenland.

Tarrare
Tarrare, a historical figure from late 18th century France, gained notoriety for his unending appetite and peculiar eating habits. He grappled with a rare medical disorder called polyphagia, which compelled him to incessantly hunger for and consume copious amounts of food, including non-edible items. Tarrare garnered public attention by devouring objects like corks, stones, and even live animals, once astonishing onlookers by devouring an entire basket of apples in rapid succession. Despite his astounding consumption abilities, his health rapidly declined, plagued by numerous complications stemming from his condition. The life of Tarrare remains an intriguing medical enigma, leaving numerous questions unanswered regarding the underlying nature and causes of his singular condition.
From ATI:
And the strangest part of all this was that he always looked as though he were starving. The young man barely weighed 100 pounds and he seemed constantly tired and distracted. He was showing every possible sign of undernourishment – except, of course, that he was eating enough to feed a small barracks.
