One of the World's 10 Weirdest Museums According to Time Magazine | Toilet Museum

The Sulabh Toilet Museum was founded in 1992 by Bindeshwar Pathak, a sociologist and social activist.

The idea of opening a strange museum led him to study the evolution and development of toilets to the smallest detail.

Pathak contacted the embassies of various countries in Delhi, asking for information or pictures of the toilets used in their area.

Now the Sulabh Museum is considered international - it contains exhibits from 50 countries, divided into three sections: ancient, medieval and modern periods.

Some may find the museum disgusting, but the main idea behind creating such a place is to draw attention to a big problem in India: the lack of proper bathrooms and access to toiletries.

All of this still results in the death of children due to dehydration caused by open defecation.

🔞Justice Through Technology: How Media Helped Catch the Boston Marathon Bombers

The Boston Marathon bombing was a terrorist attack that killed three people and injured over 260 others on April 15, 2013.

Few days later, authorities released photos and videos taken by security cameras in that area. The images showed the suspects carrying backpacks near the location of the bombings.

Who is guilty? The bombing was carried out by two brothers, Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, Chechen Muslims who had lived in the United States for several years before the attack. Their motivation was extremist ideologies.

Happy ending, in general? When police tried to catch the guilty ones, brothers engaged in a shootout. Tamerlan was killed, and Dzhokhar was captured and later found guilty on multiple charges, including murder and terrorism.
