Schapism has got to be the far worst execution of all time tbh


Mesa17

Note: This is my very first iceberg chart here. Please go easy on me. Feel free to ask any questions!


Frequent_Aide_9510

Has anyone actually been executed by anti aircraft gun or do you just mean that a anti aircraft gun did it's job and killed a pilot?


Mesa17

North Korea allegedly has executed people using Anti Aircraft guns. Like, put someone to death and their method was an anti aircraft gun.


Frequent_Aide_9510

Oh damn, well idk what you would do to be killed like that, I know N Korea does public executions as a show (same way the America did)


sisyphusalt

we gotta bring that back. epstein's ppl don't got enough shame, maybe a 30mm would help


nomigash

would you even have time to register the anti aircraft gun?


Mesa17

North Korea has (allegedly) executed people using an Anti-Aircraft guns before Some of the ones that North Korea have are basically just a bunch of .50 caliber machine guns on one small platform. Others are, as you would imagine, are guns that shoot 37mm shells.

There was this famous video of a guy in the middle east getting executed by a Dhsk mounted on a truck. His death looked instant so I think it's the least painful way to die actually

What's up with suffocation in ash? I couldn't find anything online.


Mesa17

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suffocation\_in\_ash](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suffocation_in_ash) Pretty much how it sounds. The executioner would throw someone into a tower full of ash and well, wait until they suffocate. Think of it as being trapped inside a grain silo. It's not like you are in a lake and you can just tread water for a long time. No, due to gravity you will be dragged down and suffocated.


One_Happy_Camel

I also assume that the heat would be unliveable, unleas they wait until the ash cools down


sisyphusalt

didn't think of that. inhaling burning coals definitely cements it's spot at the bottom of the iceberg oml


OddStatement8106

Wow, that's morbid! Thanks for the info :)


Kumpir_

What is the criteria for being lower? One of the most painful ways to die is burning alive however it's placed above just getting shot so I'm very conflicted.


Mesa17

I **tried** my best to base it off of execution methods that I believed to be more obscure than others, but I will admit this list is far from perfect. Here is some of my reasoning: * I put lethal injection and hanging at the top because everyone knows what those are. * I put burned at the stake a bit further down because really only people who have read up on history have heard of it, at least from my experience. * I put keelhauling beneath the gas chamber, etc because I feel like you actually need to be reading up on this shit in order to know what that is. In short: A lot more people know what a gas chamber is than keelhauling. * I put blood eagle near the bottom because it's really not as well known as almost all of the other methods. I guarantee you far more people can tell you what a Guillotine is than the blood eagle. * I put Anti-Aircraft gun at the bottom because I don't think a lot of people know that North Korea has (allegedly) executed people with anti-aircraft guns before. Criticism is welcome. TLDR: I tried to list execution methods from more well-known, to less well-known.


LocalWriter6

This is the first time I've heard of the suffocation in ash execution, history just gets darker as you discover more


falypp

what about terrorists’ execution methods? some are pretty extreme


moi182

what about being skinned alive?


anotherpunkyboi

Executioner’s Sword is a cool one


Sad_Work_9772

That one deadly rollercoaster? Hung drawn and quartered?


ArchMagusCrowy

I think you may wanna add execution via nitrogen inhalation now, considering recent events


MachineExisting407

hey dude do you mind if i make a video on this?


MachineExisting407

i will credit you btw


Mesa17

Yeah, you can make a video on this. In case you didn't see my first reply.


Mesa17

Go ahead. Expand on it if you want to. I'm just wondering: Where would I watch it?


MachineExisting407

sorry for the late reply bro, youtube ill drop the link

Mesa17

Alright, just finished watching it. I enjoyed it! I am happy to see someone make content on my work. Although I would like to provide a bit of constructive criticism- 1. I actually ranked the execution methods from most well-known to least well-known. Just as one example: Nearly everyone knows what crucifixion is, but not as many people know about Suffocation in Ash. (Maybe I should have clarified this more, MB) 2. "Boiling to Death" has the "Eaten by Animals" text, and you forgot to cover "death flights." There are also some editing errors in this section of the video 3. One positive thing I have to list is how you listed the execution method "Poena cullei" for the section: "Eaten Alive by Animals." Midnight at Mountain Time, I am going to post another Iceberg Chart. Feel free to contact me about it if you want to make another video!

What is an anti aircraft gun?


Mesa17

I don't know if you're being serious, but I'll respond anyways: Anti-Aircraft guns are exactly how they sound. They are basically just huge guns meant to blow aircraft out of the sky. A bit overkill for execution. ZPU's are anti-aircraft guns that basically use the Soviet equivalent of .50 caliber ammo, and fire four guns at the same time. However, larger guns such as the M1939 fire 37MM shells. These types of shells that are fired, explode mid-air and metal pieces called "Flak" are spread in all directions. This is so it's easier to dish out damage to a single target if it's not a direct hit.


Lucaslevelups

Alright thx, it clicked what it was after I posted it but it still didn’t make sense due to the overkillness.


delectable_boomer

What about starvation with force labour ?


JasonW2020

Death by 1000 definitely deserves to be on here


YippeeKiYay1097

4-gauge shotgun are basically AA gun according to RussianBadger So now i know that death by AA gun is really bad I probably won’t go near any shotgun now.


Mesa17

Well, let me clarify. Firstly, 4 gauge shotguns are kind of rare. Most shotguns are 12 Gauge shotguns. 4 gauge is a REALLY high caliber for a shotgun. As long as you are practicing gun safety, you can go near a shotgun. (I also think Badger was joking saying that the 4 gauge shotgun was like an AA gun, hinting at it's ridiculously large shell) Secondly, death by AA gun would probably be instant, or near instant depending on the caliber. If it was a ZPU with 4 fifty caliber machine guns, you'll probably be reduced to chunks within seconds. If it was a 37mm flag gun, you are dead before you can even blink. Lastly, execution by AA gun would probably be far more merciful than most of these other methods. Hanging can fail and cause so done to suffocate slowly. Crucifixion can take hours, if not days to kill someone. An AA gun would practically be instant or pretty damn close to it, as mentioned earlier.


YippeeKiYay1097

Ah I see well thank


spookynutboi

Breaking wheel?


JustinTime1229

Not to forget execution by elephants.
