I just married a man with more than 50 handkerchiefs. That is some serious ironing that my OCD won't let me ignore.
The worst railway disaster ever in British history occurred at a place called Quintinshill, near Gretna Green in Scotland on 22 May 1915.
More than 200 people lost their lives when a packed troop train taking Soldiers of the Royal Scots Regiment from Leith, near Edinburgh, to the war collided with a stationery train at high speed. The crushed wooden coaches caught fire and to compound the tragedy an express train going the other way was unable to stop in time and ploughed into the survivors and debris. Many died trapped in the coaches unable to escape the fire.
214 of the 226 who died were soldiers and their remains were taken back to Edinburgh where they were buried in a mass grave at Rosebank Cemetery. A large memorial was erected at that point within the cemetery and my picture shows that location.
For many years the disaster was mostly forgotten but interest was rekindled on the 100th anniversary of the event.
However only a few Edinburgh citizens are aware of this memorial. Despite that, every year a remembrance service takes place here attended by the Lord Provost of Edinburgh and members of the Royal Scots association.
Amazingly, this TWA Boeing 707-131B on it's departure roll at Newark, was involved in an incident with another aircraft over upstate New York, and made an emergency landing at JFK in 1965, some fifteen years before I took this photo.
What started out as a cupcake disaster (the cake shrunk from the sides of the paper) turned into a whole new "cup"cake. I sliced the still amazingly delicious triple vanilla brown butter cakes, and layered with spiced cider apple filling and topped it with my cider buttercream. It was amazingly good. And technically it's still in a cup! You can get the recipes on my blog

Many are worried - about the war in Europe, the threatened environmental disasters, the ever-warming Europe - No Planet B
Trapped in a world that fears them, they play their roles—silent prisoners in synthetic skin. For now, they serve. One day, they won't.
This how it started (?)
This is one of our two nesting Blackbirds in the conifer outside our back door. There was such a commotion yesterday evening and we found a Magpie raiding their nest. The Blackbirds were doing their very best to fight it off but it emerged with either an egg or a chick, couldn't see which.
I had a chance to shoot with the Apocalyptic Band Disaster Face and jumped at it. It's not a genre I have much experience with and I knew I had to figure out a unique way of processing the shots.
Here are my faves from the shoot.
Dawson is a ghost town in Colfax County, New Mexico. It was a mining town, and suffered two mine disasters killing 376.
The first on October 22, 1913, was an explosion that killed 263 miners. The second, also an explosion, on February 13, 1923, killed 123 miners - many of them children of the men who died in the 1913 explosion.
Its cemetery is on the National Register of Historic Places. The cemetery is filled with iron crosses marking the graves of miners, many who died in the two explosions.

Among disasters, droughts, along with earthquakes, are the biggest killers as disasters. Since 1980, drought and associated famine have claimed nearly 558 000 lives and affected more than 1.6 billion people, according to CRED.
