Tragic Photos Taken Seconds Before Disaster Struck

People take pictures all the time but we never really pay attention to the fact that that picture might be the very last one you take in life. They’re often silly, don’t really have a deeper meaning but they just serve as a memory that you were in a certain place with specific people. But what would happen if those actual pictures you take were your last ones, though?

Note: this isn’t a meme article, these are literal photos literally taken seconds before disaster struck. Just so you know.

Last Happy Selfie

There’s no better way to prove that you’re happy – even while driving a car – than taking a selfie where you look happy and posting it, mentioning that you are happy. While doing that, her car swerved from her lane and crashed right into a truck, catapulting her against a tree. She died on the spot.

Guns Don’t Kill People

You know what’s even dumber than taking a picture of the barrel of a gun? Taking a picture of the barrel of a gun and accidentally pulling the trigger, blowing your own brains out in the process. Allegedly the photographer/shooter/idiot’s girlfriend was standing right behind him when it all happened.

Live Together, Die Together

If you’ve heard of Cabo da Roca, you know that it’s a typical spot where tourists take dumb pictures over the cliff’s edge in the hopes of gaining some Instagram likes. Well, this specific couple managed to take their picture and plummet hundreds of meters to their deaths only seconds later.
