The Terrifying Effects of Space on Unprotected Bodies

Contrary to popular media portrayals, being in space without a spacesuit does not result in immediate bodily explosion, freezing, or burning. The lack of atmospheric pressure causes bodily fluids to evaporate, leading to bubbling and potential embolism. Holding your breath is not advised as it can cause lung rupture. Lack of oxygen results in loss of consciousness within 15 seconds and potential death within a minute. If rescued, recovery is complicated by dangerous solar radiation.

Investigation reveals details of deadly plane crashes in DC and Virginia.

A federal report on the June 4 crash of a business jet that flew off course over Washington, DC, killing four people, revealed that the plane took an erratic flight path before plunging into a Virginia mountain in a "near-vertical descent" at high velocity. The report found no cockpit voice recorder or flight data recorder at the crash site. The plane's owner believes the pilot, who he identified as Jeff Hefner, probably lost consciousness from a lack of oxygen.

Massive Fish Die-Off on Texas Gulf Coast Beach

Thousands of Menhaden fish washed up on a Texas gulf coast beach due to a low dissolved oxygen event caused by warm water, which cannot hold as much oxygen as cold water. Fish kills like this are common in the summer when temperatures increase. Recent conditions of cloudy skies and calm seas created a “perfect storm to deplete the oxygen.” Most of the fish had been removed from the beach by Sunday, and any dead fish left behind will likely be naturally buried in the sand and ocean over the coming days.
