I have never been murdered so I completely lack experience in this
area
but some people have been murdered and they say it's a stressful experience
especially if those people are notoriously hard to kill
this is a list of 10 people who just wouldn't die
Edward Teach was the angry English pirate known internationally as
Blackbeard
black bead was hated in many countries and on all seven seas
but it was the governor of Virginia who ordered his assassination
black bead was anchored at an islands with his crew
when he noticed two approaching ships and in good time the pirates boarded their
own ship
and sailed out towards the others. They turned their cannons to be assassins
and started blasting them with what I can only describe as a
Donkey-Kong-Load of cast iron. After one third of the assassins were killed
and one of the ships was destroyed, black beard & Co decided to board the other
when they boarded the ship they were shocked by the number of men who emerged
from below deck
black beard found himself surrounded. The captain of the ship broke his sword
stabbing him
he was then slashed in the neck, which didn't slow him, he kept fighting until
his last breath
he had been stabbed 20 times and shot 5
he was so hard to kill that they cut off his head just to make sure he was dead
Josip Tito was the president of Yugoslavia
he was the man Stalin couldn't assassinate standing strong and healthy
after 22 attempts
in fact some historians claim that Tito even had Stalin poisoned
when Joseph Stalin died, a letter from Tito was found in his office
the letter read:
it reminds me of what the IRA said after they failed to assassinate British Prime
Minister Margaret Thatcher
in a statement they wrote:
Leon Trotsky founded and led the Soviet Red Army
and as it happens he was also an enemy of stalin
which is nothing special; it has been well documented that Stalin was a bit of
a dick
in 1927 Trotsky was expelled from the Communist Party
and exiled from Russia two years later. He eventually fled to Mexico
on the 20th of August 1940
an assassin entered Trotsky's home. The assassin struck him in the back of the
head
ice axe. This seemed to little more than anger Trotsky
he attacked the assassin, wrestling him to the ground
with an axe still lodged in his brain Trotsky was able to hold down the
assassin
until his bodyguards realized what was happening
which is just embarrassing for the assassin, especially considering Trotsky
was 60 years old
due to blood loss, Trotsky died one day later
with the magical combo with being both a slave trader
and a folk hero, Jim Bowie was world famous
he was so tough the bowie knife was named after him
in 1827 Bowie attended a duel between two others
during the duel, Bowie was accidentally shot in the hip
as a reaction to this Bowie drew his knife and charged the man
the man struck Bowie in his face, sending him to the ground
while he was on the ground another man shot him
and stabbed him in the chest, but that didn't finish in
he stabbed the man right back - killing him instantly
Bowie jumped to his feet where he was shot and stabbed again
while still under fire he pulled the sword from his chest and charged the two
remaining men
at this point I would have assumed him to be some kind of immortal being
which might explain why the two men actually ran away from him
Bowie lived another nine years
Pablo Escobar was Colombia's most notorious drug lord
he was known as the king of cocaine with an estimated net worth of thirty billion
dollars
just like everyone else on this list Escobar had a lot of enemies
partly because he regularly arranged the assassinations
of judges and police officers
In 1993, a task force of American soldiers and Colombian police officers
joined a large group of the families of Escobar's victims
with the aim of killing escobar
long story short they found him and immediately started firing their weapons at him in a shootout that almost
exhausted South America's bullet supplies
pablo escobar was chased across rooftops
After getting shot quite a lot of times
he shot himself in the head he always told those close to him he would shoot
himself through the ears
rather than be captured
Ferdinand Magellan was the Portuguese explorer who discovered the Philippines
Magellan entered into a contract with a Filipino King
where he agreed to kill Lapu Lapu, king of the matcan islands
in 1521 he brought his crew to the Island
along with 250 native warriors. But they were met with disaster as Lapu was
waiting for him
with a fifteen hundred strong army
as soon as the battle began Magellan was shot with poisoned dart
he was then stabbed in the face with a bamboo spear as he drew his sword he was
slashed several times
sending him falling to the ground
even with him being repeatedly stabbed and bludgeoned by in large group of
natives it still took several minutes to kill him
According to local legend, Lapu Lapu transformed into a statue after the battle
where he remains today
Gabriel Garcia Moreno
was the president of Ecuador between 1861
until his death in 1875 Garcia was hated by liberals
as he was basically a military dictator. so it was only a matter of time until
someone ordered the hit
On August 6th he walked out of a Catholic cathedral to be met by a group
of assassins
by use of machetes, they cut deep into his head
they cut of his left arm and right hands but this wasn't even enough to send him
to the ground
for that they would have to shoot him six times
before he lost his life
he was able to write the words... his own blood
which is literally bloody terrifying
Ned Kelly was the most famous Australian
Outlaw of the 19th century. His first run-in with the law
was when he stole the pig from a Chinese man named Ah Fook
I must admit when I first read that I thought it was a joke
but it's just the truth, he stole the pig from Ah Fook
but fast-forward eleven years and Ned Kelly is a serious criminal in June 1880
while two trains full of police
are steaming to arrest him, Kelly and his gang rounded up sixty two hostages
inside and inn. When the police surrounded the inn
Kelly emerged from the doorway wearing bullet-proof armor
as the armor protected Kelly from the assault and the police began to panic
he took a shot gun clap to the legs which was the only area not covered by
his armor
falling to the ground he was soon captured and eventually hanged by the
neck until
dead
Fidel Castro was the socialist dictator of cuba from the revolution
up until 2008 the fact that he is still alive is a miracle
seeing as there have been 638 attempts to assassinate him
many of these were by the CIA. They include an attempt to replace his sigars
with a box of exploding ones
the closest they came to killing him was by use of a poisoned milkshake
and Castro's radio announcement booth was once rigged with poison gas
he is currently in his late eighties
Rasputin was a Russian faith healer who managed to become a close friend of
the Tsar
Rasputin had a lot of enemies as people blamed him for Russia's
involvement in the first world war
so in 1916 it was decided that he had to die
a group of noblemen invited him into a basement and treated him to poison-laced
cake and wine. Rasputin eat a lot of cake
and drank a lot want but the poison didn't seem to affect him at all
after a while they began to wonder why he wasn't dead yet
they soon realized he was just having a good time - so they shot him in the back
with a handgun
As Rasputin looked dead they left the palace
but when one of the men returned to the basement to fetch his coat
Rasputin got back on his feet and started strangling him
they shot Rasputin another three times
and when that didn't work, started beating him, and when that didn't work
tied him up and threw him into a river. As he fell through the ice
he was still alive and tried to free himself before finally drowning
And so that brings us to the end of the list on 10 people who just wouldn't die
