„All Quiet on the Eastern Front“
1917 — On the battlefield during the third battle of Ypres. The rain continued for three weeks. Soldiers struggled through heavy, sticky mud that reached up to their waists. Men, horses, tanks and other vehicles literally drowned in the mud. Photos have become the embodiment of the battle and the entire World War I.
2022 — On the battlefield near Bakhmut in eastern Ukraine. Brutal fighting has been going on for Bakhmut since August. The sight of trenches, endless mud and mass destruction is reminiscent of World War I, but that's the reality in Ukraine today.

August 18, 1941 - Dnieper Hydroelectric Power Station was destroyed by Red Army without prior evacuation of the population. The explosion of 20 tons of explosives on dam created a breach measuring 175 meters in length and 21 meters in height, resulting in a nearly 6-meter wave rushing downstream and causing the destruction of buildings in the coastal zone. Explosion was intended to halt the advance of German forces. Although it did not affect the German army's progress, it led to the death of over 20,000 civilians and Red Army soldiers who were located downstream.
June 6, 2023 - Russian troops detonated the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Station on the Dnieper River. This act of military aggression has led to the largest European ecological catastrophe in decades. There are 80 populated areas within the affected zone, and 40,000 people require evacuation. Water from Kakhovka reservoir was used for cooling the reactors of a nearby nuclear power plant.

In September 1992, band Pearl Jam threw a free concert in Seattle's Magnusson Park with more than 70,000 in attendance.
During the show, lead singer Eddie Vedder performed a death-defying feat. He climbed the stage scaffolding with 100 feet of microphone cable trailing behind him, looped it over the top, rappelled down, and swung out over the audience.
