A simple photograph can sit in a closet for decades, gathering dust as the world around us changes. But there are also pictures that make us reconsider our faith in humanity. There is a saying that “A picture can be worth a thousand words”, and in this case it is completely true. These shots were captured shortly before the tragedy happened.
A typical day in Oma
On August 15, 1998, a car bomb attack took place in Omagh, Northern Ireland. The IRA group was responsible for this. 29 people were killed and more than 200 injured. The bombing was due to a local ethno-nationalist conflict in Northern Ireland that lasted over 30 years. Undermining a car in Oma was the bloodiest of all the time of this conflict. The camera with this photo was buried under a pile of rubble, capturing life on a quiet street in the moments before the bomb went off. One of the more touching photographs went around the world. Calmness, smiles, an unknown threat - a really frightening shot. Nothing foretells a massacre - in this picture frozen in time, everything will happen without the knowledge of people.
Latest footage of Regina Walters
Regina Kay Walters was a 14-year-old girl from Pasadena, Texas who was murdered by notorious serial killer Robert Ben Rhodes. She turned out to be one of three victims of a maniac who treated Regina in a special way. Rhodes cut her hair, dressed her in a black dress and took pictures. The one that stands out the most is the one you see above. Robert Ben Rhodes was caught in September 1992, taking two more lives in the process. He was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole and remains incarcerated in a Texas prison to this day. Photo of this young girl in last moments life is literally saturated with fear and despair. The girl looks at the torturer in horror, with despair on her face, which makes this photo a disgusting demonstration of human torture, like a cat playing with a mouse. The image forever captured the breaking of the soul of one person.
Photo by Reinaldo Dagza
Reinaldo Dagza actually filmed his own killer, as well as his own death. He was a Filipino politician who was assassinated on New Year's Eve 2011. His murder gained international notoriety for a photograph taken with his family just a second before the shooting. The photo also captures the killer himself, with a gun in his hands. Dagsa was taking a picture of his wife, daughter and grandmother when the shooter decided to make an assassination attempt. The photo was used as the main piece of evidence to jail two criminals, although it was believed that there were more. This photo is proof of the absolute absurdity of life: a man who was only 35 years old, at the very beginning of the new year, takes a picture of his loving family and at the same time sees his own death in the lens...
Tragedy on the Beas
On June 8, 2014, 24 engineering students from Hyderabad, India died during their journey when there was a sudden release of water at the Larji hydroelectric power station on the Beas River. The bus with the students stopped so that they could take photos on the banks of the River Beas. Without warning, the open floodgates and the flow of water took the group by surprise, killing all the students instantly. This incident was caused by gross negligence on the part of the workers at the Larji Hydroelectric Plant. This photo was supposed to be a simple reminder, a memory of a trip with friends from college. Instead, it became a harrowing look at the final moments of a group of friends.
Doomed
The above photo and headline were very eloquently used by the New York Post. These are the final moments of Ki-Suk Yong, a 58-year-old father and husband who is pushed under an incoming train by homeless Naiem Davis. Previously, a quarrel ensued between them, the reasons for which are not fully known. Naem Davis blames multiple causes for his aggressive actions - voices in his head, drugs, and even a lost pair of shoes. He claims that Ki-Suk Yeon would not leave him alone and that he acted according to the circumstances. After all these excuses, the "not guilty" Davis was charged with second-degree murder and sent to prison. Regardless of the cause of death, this photo will forever remain a sad reminder of the unexpected nature of death.
Suicide of Budd Dwyer
Robert Budd Dwyer has been a politician and Republican member of the Pennsylvania State Senate for over 10 years. He also served as Treasurer of Pennsylvania until the day of his death on January 22, 1987. After being convicted of bribery, Dwyer called a press conference to announce his resignation. After all the accusations, Dwyer courageously accepted a 55-year sentence and a hefty $300,000 fine. In his eyes, this was an unfair punishment, as his ex-attorney William T. Smith admitted many years later. He said he lied under oath, accusing Dwyer of taking bribes. The press conference was broadcast live to television viewers throughout Pennsylvania. After reading part of the speech, Dwyer stopped reading and began handing out envelopes to his staffers. After the final envelope, he pulled out a gun and shot himself in the head before anyone could intervene. If for some reason you want to watch the video of Budd Dwyer's death, it's on Youtube.
Death of Travis Alexander
This is a photo of Travis Alexander, 30, taking a shower seconds before he was brutally murdered by his ex-girlfriend, Jodi Arias. In 2008, friends found Travis Alexander dead at his home. He was found in the shower, with 27 stab wounds, a slashed throat, and a gunshot wound to the head. Arias initially denied killing Alexander, alleging a robbery, but she later changed her testimony, alleging self-defense murder.
Photo by James Bulger
In February 1993, ten-year-old John Venables and Robert Thompson murdered two-year-old James Bulger after kidnapping him from a Mall in Liverpool. The details of the case sent shockwaves of panic across England, forcing parents to rethink their children's upbringing. This photo of little James Bulger being taken away by his killers has graced the news channels for months and will forever be the last picture of this little one. Venables and Thompson stole James Bulger from their mother and walked with him, hand in hand, to the railway embankment 4 kilometers. On the way, the boys were repeatedly stopped by caring people. People thought they were lost or in need of help as James didn't stop crying out loud. They were even offered to help take " younger brother» home. James was found two days after his death, on a railway line in Walton. His horrific injuries were covered by the media, who were vocal about the leniency of the court's decision regarding the incident. Venables and Thompson remained in institutions for young offenders for eight years, receiving mental health care until the age of 18. They were subsequently released, the government took care of them and guaranteed their safety.
Mark Chapman and John Lennon
On the day John Lennon died, the Earth seemed to stop and plunge into mourning. In cities around the world, grief-stricken fans united and held mass funerals. It was an expression of the love that John Lennon sought to instill in people - a kind of musical affinity. Just one month before his death, John released "Double Fantasy" - the long-awaited album, which has been waiting for five whole years. This was his final album. On December 8, 1980, Mark David Chapman shot John Lennon at the entrance to the Dakota (the building where Lennon lived in New York). Crazy Mark Chapman decided to kill Lennon because of his fame. He originally had a roster of several people, but Champen struck out Johnny Carson and George Q. Scott. “If he was less famous than three or four other people on the list, he wouldn't have been killed,” Chapman told police. This photo was taken hours before John Lennon was assassinated. The quiet, unassuming fan waiting for his autograph in the picture is none other than Mark David Chapman. Along with being the killer, he was, unfortunately, also the last person to be photographed with Lennon alive.
brothers on vacation
In 1975, Michael and Sean McQuilken, two smiling San Diego natives, were vacationing in California. Together with their sister Mary, they took pictures against the background of the beginning thunderstorm and laughed at their tousled hair, like many other people nearby. Seconds after this picture was taken at Moro Rock in Sequoia National Park, the boys were struck by lightning and seriously injured. Contrary to popular belief, lightning did not kill them. This image has been used countless times over the years, mainly as social advertisement to draw attention to the danger of lightning. The photo of the happy, carefree faces of these two brothers painfully hints at a life-threatening element that should not be underestimated. It is lightning that causes 24,000 deaths a year worldwide.

We present to your attention photos that, at first glance, may seem quite ordinary and harmless. But what made them famous was the fact that terrible events lurk behind each of them. It is unlikely that any of us thinks that this or that picture can be the last in our life or anticipate a tragedy. For example, not so long ago, newlyweds on vacation were photographed a second before the misfortune. And if death itself cannot be captured, then in each of the photographs below it is definitely invisibly present.
Survivors. In this photo, at first glance, there is nothing unusual. Until you notice a gnawed human spine in the lower right corner.
The heroes of the picture are the players of the Uruguayan rugby team "Old Cristians" from Montevideo, who survived the plane crash on October 13, 1972: the plane crashed in the Andes. Of the 40 passengers and 5 crew members, 12 died in the crash or shortly thereafter; then 5 more died the next morning..
The search operations were stopped on the eighth day, and the survivors had to fight for their lives for more than two months. Since food supplies quickly ran out, they had to eat the frozen corpses of friends.
Without waiting for help, some of the victims made a dangerous and long transition through the mountains, which turned out to be successful. 16 men were rescued.
In 2012 the star of Mexican music Jenny Rivera died in a plane crash. Selfie on the plane was taken a few minutes before the tragedy.
No one survived as a result of the plane crash.
Thunderstorm Games. In August 1975, a girl from the United States, Mary McQuilken, photographed her two brothers, Michael and Sean, during severe weather, with whom she spent time on top of one of the cliffs in California national park sequoias.
A second after the picture was taken, all three were struck by lightning. Only 18-year-old Michael survived. In this photo - the sister of young men Mary.
It is worth noting that the atmospheric discharge was so powerful and close that young people's hair literally stood on end. Survivor Michael works as a computer engineer and still receives emails with questions about what happened that day.
Regina Walters. Photographed a 14-year-old girl Serial killer by the name of Robert Ben Rhodes, a few seconds before he was killed ... The maniac took Regina to an abandoned barn, cut her hair and forced her to wear a black dress and shoes.
Rhodes toured the United States on a huge trailer, which he equipped as a torture chamber. At least three people a month became its victims.
Walters was one of those who fell into the trap of a maniac. Her body was found in a barn that was supposed to be burned down.
"Pli!". In April 1999, high school students from the American Columbine School posed for a group picture. For the general cheerfulness, two guys pretending to point a rifle and a pistol at the camera hardly drew attention to themselves.
But in vain. A few days later, these guys, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, showed up at Columbine with weapons and improvised explosives: their victims were 13 fellow students, 23 people were injured.
The crime was carefully planned, which led to such a number of victims.
The culprits were not detained, because in the end they shot themselves. Later it became known that teenagers were outsiders at school for many years, and what happened was a cruel act of revenge.
Girl with black eyes. You might think that we have a frame from a horror movie, but, unfortunately, this is a real photo. In November 1985, the Ruiz volcano erupted in Colombia, as a result of which the province of Armero was covered with mudflows.
13-year-old Omaira Sanchez was the victim of a tragedy: her body was stuck in the rubble of a building, as a result, the girl stood up to her neck in mud for three days. Her face was swollen, her hands were practically white, and her eyes were bloodshot.
Rescuers tried to rescue the girl in various ways, but in vain.
Three days later, Omaira fell into agony, stopped responding to people, and eventually passed away.
Family photo. It would seem that there is nothing strange in the photo of the Victorian era, which depicts a father and mother with a daughter. The only feature: the girl turned out to be very clear in the picture, and her parents are blurry. Guess why? Before us is one of the most popular in those days posthumous photographs, and the girl imprinted on it died shortly before from typhus.
The corpse remained motionless in front of the lens, and therefore it appeared clearly: photographs in those days were taken with a long exposure, which made it necessary to pose for a very, very long time. Perhaps that is why photos of “post-mortem” (i.e. “after death”) have become incredibly fashionable. Oddly enough, the heroine of this picture is also already dead.
The woman in this photo died in childbirth. In photo salons, they even installed special devices for fixing corpses, and the eyes of the dead were opened and a special agent was instilled into them so that the mucous membrane did not dry out and the eyes did not become cloudy.
fatal dive. It would seem that there is nothing strange in this photo of divers. However, why does one of them lie at the very bottom?
Divers accidentally discovered the body of 26-year-old Tina Watson, who died on October 22, 2003 during her honeymoon. A girl with her husband named Gabe went on a honeymoon to Australia, where they decided to go diving.
Under water, the beloved turned off the young wife's oxygen cylinder and held it at the bottom until she suffocated. Later, the offender, who received a life sentence, said that his goal was to obtain insurance.
sad father. At a cursory glance, there is nothing unusual in this picture with a pensive African, but if you look closely, you can see that a severed child's foot and hand lie in front of the man.
Pictured is a Congolese rubber plantation worker who failed to meet his quota. As a punishment, the overseers ate his five-year-old daughter, giving the remains for edification ... This was practiced quite often, as can be seen from other pictures.
At the same time, white officers and overseers, as evidence that they had destroyed the local cannibal, presented his right hand. The desire to rise in the ranks led to the fact that the hands were chopped off from everyone, including children, and those who pretended to be dead at the same time could stay alive ...
Assassin with a sword. It would seem like a picture from Halloween, right? 21-year-old Swede, Anton Lundin Peterson, came in this form to one of the schools in Trollhätten on October 22, 2015. Two schoolchildren decided that what was happening was a joke and happily took pictures with a stranger in a strange outfit.
After that, Peterson slaughtered these youths and went after the next victims. He ended up killing one teacher and four children. The police opened fire on him and he died from his wounds in the hospital.
dying tourist. Americans Sailor Gilliams and Brenden Vega set off on a hike in the vicinity of Santa Barbara, but due to inexperience they got lost. There was no connection, and due to the heat and lack of water, the girl was left completely exhausted. Brendan went to get help, but crashed after falling off a cliff.
And these photos were taken by a group of experienced tourists who, returning home with horror, noticed a red-haired girl lying unconscious on the ground. Rescuers went by helicopter to the scene of the tragedy, Sailor survived.
kidnapping two year old James Bulger. It would seem that it is strange that an older boy leads the younger by the hand? But behind this picture lies a terrible tragedy ...
John Venables and Robert Thompson were taken away from shopping center two-year-old James Bulger, brutally beaten, covered in face paint, and left to die on railroad tracks.
The 10-year-old killers were found thanks to video footage from a surveillance camera. The criminals received the maximum term for their age - 10 years, which greatly outraged the public and the mother of the victim. Moreover, in 2001 they were released and received documents for new names.
In 2010, it was revealed that John Venables was returned to prison for an unmentioned parole violation.
Later it became known that Venables was charged with possession and distribution of child pornography. The police found 57 images of child pornography on his computer. On the Internet, Venables posed as a 35-year-old married woman who boasted of abusing her 8-year-old daughter in the hope of obtaining other child pornography.
Take a picture of your own killer. Again, at first glance, we have the usual family photo but look at the background.
The picture was taken by the Filipino adviser Reinaldo Dagsa, whom the killer decided to take revenge for helping to arrest him for stealing a car.
It was the photo that helped to quickly identify the killer and put him behind bars again.
Suicide on the bridge. A Chinese reporter who was trying to capture the fog on the Wuhan Yangtze River, only after a detailed study of the photo, discovered that the picture captured a man at the moment of falling from the bridge, as it turned out later, his girlfriend jumped after him a few seconds later.
last shower. The man in the photo has a strange expression on his face, don't you think? The camera with this picture was found in the washing machine of Travis Alexander, who was killed in the shower by stabbing 25 times, including in the neck, and shot in the head.
The incident was blamed on his girlfriend Jody Arias, with whom he was going to break up, but the girl pursued him and literally did not give a pass
Other images found at the crime scene showed the couple in sexual positions, and a picture of Travis in the shower was taken at 5:29 p.m. on the day of the murder. In the photo, taken just minutes later, Alexander was already lying in blood on the floor.
Seconds before the explosion. Posing for a photo, the father and daughter hardly guessed that in the car, captured next to them, there is an explosive that will detonate in a few seconds.
This terrorist attack in August 1998 was carried out by the terrorist organization Genuine Irish Republican Army. As a result, 29 people were killed, more than 220 were injured. The camera with the first picture was found under the rubble, and his heroes miraculously survived.
