Reply to comment by CalmLikeBomb in TIL of the 1955 Le Mans disaster. French driver Pierre Levegh crashed into a crowd of spectators. The crash, explosion and subsequent fire killed 84 and injured more than 120. It is still the deadliest car race crash ever. by triviafrenzy
And you can see it happening on film, though it is grainy. RIP: people died horrible deaths when they just wanted a day out.

Reply to comment by SweetPrism in TIL, there's a condition called, "Encopresis" wherein the sufferer loses control of their bowels after holding in their stool as long as they can first. by SweetPrism
Yes, and can also be a result of anxiety, depression or some developmental differences. The child may retain feces since she has learned the lessons of potty training all too well and fears being disciplined for going. Or the child is hyper-focused on a task and doesn't want to interrupt it by heading to the loo. Source: former primary school educator.

Teen Spirit was a woman's deodorant and he didn't knew it until he was done with the song. by WonderfulWanderer777
A definite feminist.
