Jerome Irving Rodel
Not Today During a 1971 TV show recording an interview with one of the main founders of the organic food movement, Jeremy Irving Rodel, speaking about the need for organic foods, he announced that he would live to be 100 years old. He was 72 years old at that time. Unfortunately, the founder of Organic Farming and Gardening magazine died of a heart attack during the recording of the show. After that, the show was no longer broadcast.
Steve Irwin
In 2006, Geographic Channel crocodile hunter Steve Irwin was making a documentary called 'Ocean's Deadliest' on the Great Barrier Reef in Queensland, Australia. This time he died under the sea after being bitten by the tail of an innocent stingray barb. The thorn punctured his heart. After playing with his children with the dangerous crocodiles, Steve was killed by an innocent aquatic animal.
Les Harvey
Just as music can make a sick person healthy, this music can sometimes cause someone's death. About the year 1972. Les Harvey, Scottish guitarist for the band Stone of Cross, was playing electric guitar on a stage at Swansea's Top Rank Bingo Club. At that time, he was electrocuted and died after holding an unearthed microphone with wet hands.
George Richman
Richmann was a German physician and scientist. He lived in Russia. The year after Benjamin Franklin invented the flying machine, in 1753, he invented another device very similar to the kite. One day he attended a meeting of the Academy of Science. At that time he heard thunder. Running to his car home, he took to the sky with his flying machine hoping to see the lightning up close. While his research or observation was going on, the lightning flashed and struck him on the head. He died. Everyone must wonder what a terrible adventure it was.
Franz Reichelt
Franz Reichelt developed a type of overcoat for flying. It worked like a modern parachute. To test it, he also jumped from the first deck of the Eiffel Tower, the tallest building at that time, i.e. 60 meters high. He thought his overcoat would come off and he could safely descend to the ground. But unfortunately the parachute did not work and he fell to the ground and died.
J. G. Parry Thomas
Many years ago today. In 1927, a man named Parry Thomas, a racing driver, died trying to set a record. Malcolm Marshall broke his previous land speed world record at Pendine Sands beach just a few weeks ago. Parry Thomas also determined to reclaim his record. The car he was using at the time had no cover on the chain connecting the engine to the drive wheel. He also had to drive with his head tilted to the right because of the high engine cover. The drive chain snapped during the final run after setting a world record speed of 171 mph on the right side. Also his life is lost.
