Noticeably nervous, the 47-year-old man declared his innocence, that: "... there is nothing in this state that could protect him from punishment for a crime he did not commit." At the end of his speech, the politician turned to all those who believe in him, begging to pray for his family, so that his descendants would not be tainted by the injustice that had occurred to him. Then he called to his three employees, each of whom gave an envelope. So, in one there was a note addressed to his wife. In the second - a donor organ card, and in the third lay a letter to the new governor of Pennsylvania. All this happened before five video cameras and dozens of representatives of the press. But no one could even think about what will happen in a moment ...
Further from the envelope, Robert took out his revolver and politely asked those present: "If it's unpleasant for you, please leave the room."

October 1, 1995 Californian Robert Overkerker on self-propelled water skiing was going to jump off the Horseshoe falls, which is on the Canadian side of Niagara Falls. The culmination of the jump was to be the opening of the parachute, but, probably, fate had its own plans in this regard. So that the parachute does not tighten in the downward flow of water, the guy planned to use a homemade rocket. Next, Robert was to land in the river behind the waterfall, where he was waiting for the boat. As a result, the rocket was wet and did not catch fire and, therefore, the parachute did not open. Moreover, Robert did not wear a life jacket, and did not know how to swim. In the end, everything ended in a lethal outcome.
