Jeanne Calment holds the record as the oldest verified person in history, living to the age of 122 years and 164 days. Born in 1875 and passing away in 1997 in France, her life spanned three centuries and witnessed remarkable historical change.

What makes Calment’s longevity even more fascinating is her lifestyle. She reportedly smoked in moderation, enjoyed daily glasses of port wine, and consumed rich foods like chocolate—sometimes as much as two pounds per week. She attributed her long life not to strict health routines but to staying active, having a good sense of humor, and maintaining a laid-back approach to life, making her story an intriguing exception to typical health advice.

When the world’s most powerful MILITARY landed in Somalia in 1993, they thought it would be a quick job — in and out, one hour tops. But the streets of MOGADISHU turned into a deadly trap that even the best-trained soldiers could barely survive. Black Hawk helicopters fell from the sky. Soldiers were outnumbered, outgunned, and surrounded by locals fighting for their land.

This is the true story behind OPERATION BLACK HAWK DOWN — a mission that changed how AMERICA fights its wars abroad. Many young soldiers paid with their lives, while Somali families lost even more. What lesson did the world learn? And did anyone truly win?

HISTORY holds countless forgotten HEROES, and EMMANUEL CHUKWU is one of them. In 1989, when LIBERIA plunged into brutal chaos that brought down SAMUEL DOE, this one NIGERIAN MAN risked everything to RESCUE more than 1,000 fellow Nigerians from sure death. His COURAGE reminds us that true leaders are made in moments of crisis. (Source: BBC Africa Archives)
