My Hero

French photographer Sacha Goldberger created a life changing photo project with his own 91-year-old Hungarian grandmother Frederika she had been suffering from loneliness and depression because after her long adventure living through World War II hiding ten Jewish friends, being forced out of her home in Hungary by the Communist regime via death threats, and after Sacha had grown up her life didn't seem to hold any meaning or purpose until her hero photos went viral.  Sacha created a Facebook page for Frederika and she quickly made over 2000 friends who would send her messages after seeing the photos like.  "You're the grandmother that I have dreamed of, would you adopt me?" and " You made my day, I hope to be like you at your age."  It was then that she once again found meaning in her life and since has shown no sign of depression.

The Most Radioactive Place on Earth





-THERE is a lake so radioactive you will die if you just LOOK into it for a few hours - and it's 130km from Ireland.
-Below the surface lies material so unstable it will explode if the air gets at it. It is so toxic it pollutes the wind that blows over it.
-So lethal that seagulls must be shot if they land on it to prevent them becoming radiation carriers.
