Stone Age tribe kills fishermen
Some guys were out drinking and poaching crabs in the Indian Ocean off of North Sentinel Island. Just your typical sort of "hey, let's get snot-slinging drunk in a canoe on the Indian Ocean and spear a few crabs" type of evening. Only they got so drunk they fell asleep. And their canoes drifted into a swarm of angry stone-age cro-magnon men who promptly killed them and ate them.
And this didn't happen in the 1950's. It happened on the night of January 25, 2006. When a search party went to recover the bodies, the Sentinelese shot arrows at the helicopters. I had never heard of these guys until the tsunami of December 2004, when it was reported that a stone-age tribe was shooting arrows at the search and rescue helicopters and I was thinking wtf?
