15 Photos Taken Moments Before Tragedy
I love looking at photos, especially of people. Looking at those happy, smiling faces makes me wonder what that person was so happy about, or what was he thinking of at the exact moment the photo was taken. However, there are photos that convey anything but happy memories, and those at what we will look at today.
From the last photo taken of passengers on a doomed airplane, to literally taking a photo of your own murderer, here are 15 photos taken moments before tragedy.
Number 15. Alive

I’m pretty sure most of you will be familiar with what befell Uruguayan flight 571. In 1972, the plane crashed into the Andes killing most of its passengers.
The survivors, trying to survive the best they can on the frigid mountain, had to resort to cannibalism. Their hellish ordeal lasted for 72 days and only 16 of the 45 passengers were rescued.
There have been numerous documentaries about the incident, a movie re-telling the story was also released in 1993. Here’s one of the last photos taken on board the doomed plane before its crash.
Number 14. To Boldly Go

Astronauts probably have the most dangerous job in the world. But you can barely see fear or concern on astronauts’ faces before a mission. But every once in a while, a tragic event will suddenly remind us of the dangers these men and women face.
Here is one of the last photos taken of the crew of the space shuttle Challenger. This was the crew’s 10th mission, so confidence was pretty high. However, in 1986, shuttle disintegrated mid-flight, killing everyone on board. One of the more tragic parts of this story is that it is believed that the crew didn’t die from the explosion, but rather survived in the shuttle’s cabin capsule, but died on impact when the capsule hit the water below.
Number 13. The Columbine Massacre

It’s been almost 30 years since one of the deadliest mass shootings in United States history happened. Known as the Columbine High School Massacre, a gunman opened fire at the school’s cafeteria killing 23 people. Its after effects can still be felt today, mostly because of gruesome reminders like this photo.
Here you can see one of the school teachers, William Sanders, heroically guiding more than a hundred students out of the cafeteria. He would later get shot twice in the chest and succumbed to his wounds.
Number 12. Breaking a World Record

One of the things I admire the most about us humans is our hunger for surpassing our own limits. That’s why setting and breaking various world records is a thing. Sometimes, however, people have a tendency to push themselves a little too hard in order to achieve a goal.
A famous scuba diver Nicholas Mevoli, seen on the right side of the photo, successfully dived to the depth of 236 feet under water, breaking what was then the world record. After returning to the surface, he tried to speak but could not do it as he lost consciousness right away. During this time his heart stopped and he never regained consciousness.
Number 11. One Final Embrace

Wind turbines are awesome sources of renewable energy, one that the planet desperately needs. Many people have dedicated their lives to develop this technology. Some have even lost their lives for it.
In this photo, you can see turbine technicians, one aged 19 and the other aged 21, embracing each other as a fire rages high up on the wind turbine on which they’re working near Ooltgensplaat in the Netherlands. Later investigations revealed that the fire was caused by a short circuit.
Firefighters quickly responded to the scene, but could do nothing more than watch due to the height of the turbine. Sadly, not long after this picture was taken in October 2013, one fell to his death while the other was overcome by the blaze.
