Re: Head Popped Off
It looks to be real. The width of the "rope" they were using is too small for a the neck to snap correctly, and it was not tied right.

Re: Head Popped Off
Last I heard...it was a public Saudi Arabian hanging. The drop was too far for the weight of the man. With hanging, there is a fairly slim margin of error. Many heads have been popped off like this. The hangman is looking for the "sweet spot" where the condemned drops just far enough to suffer a clean neck break. Not enough of a drop and the condemned chokes to death slowly. Too much of a drop and his head pops off. This has happened plenty in the US and Europe in the past. |
