A simple photograph can sit in a closet for decades, becoming covered in dust as the world around us changes. But there are also photographs that make us reconsider our faith in humanity. There is a saying that “A picture is worth a thousand words”, and in this case it is completely true. These images were captured shortly before the tragedy occurred.
Typical day in Omagh
On August 15, 1998, a car bomb was carried out in Omagh, Northern Ireland. The IRA group was responsible for this. 29 people were killed and more than 200 were injured. The bombing occurred due to local ethno-nationalist conflict in Northern Ireland, which lasted more than 30 years. The car bombing in Omagh turned out to be the bloodiest of the entire conflict. The camera containing this photograph was buried under a pile of rubble, capturing life on a quiet street in the moments before the bomb exploded. One of the more touching photographs spread around the world. Calmness, smiles, an unknown threat - a truly frightening shot. There is no sign of a massacre - in this snapshot frozen in time, everything will happen without people knowing.
The last shots 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 photographs. The one that stands out the most is the photo you see above. Robert Ben Rhodes was captured 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 her torturer in horror, with despair on her face, making this photo a disgusting demonstration of human torture, like a cat playing with a mouse. The image forever captured the breaking of one man's soul.
Photo by Reynaldo Dagsa
Reynaldo 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 killer himself is clearly captured in the photograph, with a pistol 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 River
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 used very eloquently by the New York Post. These are the final moments of Ki-Sook Yeon, a 58-year-old father and husband pushed in front of an arriving train by homeless man Naiem Davis. Previously, a quarrel broke out between them, the reasons for which are not fully known. Naiem Davis blames his violent actions on multiple factors - voices in his head, drugs, and even a lost pair of shoes. He claims that Ki-Sook Young would not have left him alone and that he acted according to circumstances. After all these acquittals, the “not guilty” Davis was charged with second-degree murder and sent to prison. Regardless of the cause of death, this photograph will forever remain a sad reminder of the unexpected nature of death.
Suicide of Budd Dwyer
Robert Budd Dwyer was a politician and Republican member of the Pennsylvania State Senate for more than 10 years. He also served as Pennsylvania Treasurer 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 charges, Dwyer bravely 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 when accusing Dwyer of bribery. 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 staff members. After the final envelope, he pulled out a weapon and shot himself in the head before anyone could intervene. If for any reason you would like to watch the video of Budd Dwyer's death, it is on Youtube.
Death of Travis Alexander
This is a photo of 30-year-old Travis Alexander taking a shower seconds before he was brutally murdered by his ex-girlfriend, Jodi Arias. In 2008, friends found Travis Alexander dead in his home. He was found in the shower with 27 stab wounds, a slit throat and a gunshot wound to the head. Arias initially denied killing Alexander, claiming robbery, but she later changed her testimony, claiming self-defense.
Photo by James Bulger
In February 1993, ten-year-olds Jon Venables and Robert Thompson killed two-year-old James Bulger after kidnapping him from a shopping center in Liverpool. Details of this case sent a shock wave of panic across England, forcing parents to think about the upbringing of their children. This photograph of little James Bulger being led away by his killers graced the news channels for months, and will forever remain the last photograph of the little one. Venables and Thompson stole James Bulger from his mother and walked with him, hand in hand, 4 kilometers to the railway embankment. Along the way, the boys were stopped many times by concerned people. People thought they were lost or in need of help as James kept crying loudly. They were even offered to help take " younger brother" home. James was found two days after his death, on the railway line in Walton. His horrific injuries were covered by the media, which loudly declared the court's lenient ruling on the incident. Venables and Thompson remained in young offenders' institutions for eight years, receiving mental health care until the age of 18. They were subsequently released, cared for by the government and guaranteed 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, distraught fans banded together and organized mass funerals. It was an expression of the love that John Lennon sought to instill in people - a kind of musical kinship. Just one month before his death, John released Double Fantasy, a long-awaited album that had been awaited for five 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 list of several people, but Champen crossed out Johnny Carson and George C. Scott. “If he had been less famous than the three or four other people on the list, he would not have been killed,” Chapman told police. This photo was taken hours before John Lennon was killed. The quiet, unassuming fan waiting for his autograph in the photo is none other than Mark David Chapman. Along with being a killer, he was, unfortunately, also the last person to be photographed with a living Lennon.
Brothers on vacation
In 1975, Michael and Sean McQuilken, two smiling San Diego natives, were vacationing in California. Along with their sister Mary, they posed for photos in front of a thunderstorm and laughed at their tousled hair, as did many other people nearby. Seconds after this photo 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 dangers of lightning. The photograph of the happy, carefree faces of these two brothers painfully hints at a life-threatening element that should not be underestimated. Lightning causes 24,000 deaths per 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 were hidden behind each of them. It’s unlikely that any of us think that this or that photograph could be the last in our lives or precede a tragedy. For example, not long ago, newlyweds on vacation were photographed a second before the accident. And if it is impossible to capture death itself, then in each of the photographs presented below it is definitely invisibly present.
Survivors. At first glance, there is nothing unusual in this photo. 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..
Search operations stopped on the eighth day, and the survivors had to fight for life for more than two months. Since food supplies quickly ran out, they had to eat the frozen corpses of their friends.
Without receiving help, some of the victims made a dangerous and long journey through the mountains, which turned out to be successful. 16 men were rescued.
In 2012 star of Mexican music Jenni Rivera died in a plane crash. The selfie on the plane was taken a few minutes before the tragedy.
No one survived the plane crash
Thunderstorm games. In August 1975, a girl from the United States, Mary McQuilken, photographed her two brothers: Michael and Sean, with whom she spent time on the top of one of the cliffs in California. national park redwoods.
A second after the photo was taken, all three were struck by lightning. Only 18-year-old Michael managed to survive. In this photo is the boys' sister Mary.
It is worth noting that the atmospheric discharge was so powerful and close that the young people’s hair literally stood on end. The survivor, Michael, works as a computer engineer and still earns emails with questions about what happened that day.
Regina Walters. Photographed a 14-year-old girl Serial killer named Robert Ben Rhodes a few seconds before killing... The maniac took Regina into an abandoned barn, cut her hair and forced her to wear a black dress and shoes.
Rhodes traveled around the United States in a huge trailer, which he equipped as a torture chamber. At least three people a month became his victims.
Walters was one of those who fell into the trap of a maniac. Her body was found in a barn that was to be burned.
"Fire!"In April 1999, high school students from the American Columbine School posed for a group photo. Behind the general gaiety, two guys pretending to point a rifle and a pistol at the camera hardly attracted attention.
But in vain. A few days later, these guys, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, showed up at Columbine with weapons and homemade explosives: their victims were 13 fellow students and 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. It later became known that the teenagers had been outsiders at school for many years, and the incident became a cruel act of revenge.
Girl with black eyes. You might think that this is a still 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 Omayra Sanchez became a victim of the tragedy: her body got 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 almost white, and her eyes were bloodshot.
Rescuers tried to rescue the girl in different ways, but in vain.
Three days later, Omaira fell into agony, stopped responding to people and eventually died.
Family photo. It would seem that there is nothing strange in a Victorian era photo of a father, mother and daughter. The only peculiarity: the girl came out very clearly in the photo, but her parents were blurry. Can you guess why? Before us is one of the popular ones in those days post-mortem photographs, and the girl depicted on it died shortly before of typhus.
The corpse remained motionless in front of the lens, which is why it appeared clearly: photographs in those days were taken with long exposures, which is why it took a very, very long time to pose. Perhaps this is why “post-mortem” photos (i.e. “after death”) have become incredibly fashionable. Oddly enough, the heroine of this photo 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 dropped 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 and her husband named Gabe went on their honeymoon to Australia, where they decided to go diving.
Underwater, the lover turned off the young wife’s oxygen tank and held her at the bottom until she suffocated. Later, the criminal, who received a life sentence, said that his goal was to obtain insurance.
Sad father. At a quick glance, there is nothing unusual in this photo of a pensive African man, but upon closer inspection, you will notice that a severed child’s foot and hand lie in front of the man.
The photo shows a Congolese rubber plantation worker who was unable to work out the quota. As 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 photographs.
At the same time, white officers and overseers presented his right hand as proof that they had destroyed the local cannibal. The desire to rise in the ranks led to the fact that everyone's hands were cut off, including children, and those who pretended to be dead could remain alive...
Assassin with a sword. It would seem like a Halloween photo, wouldn't it? 21-year-old Swede, Anton Lundin Peterson, came to one of the Trollhatten schools dressed like this on October 22, 2015. Two schoolchildren decided that what was happening was a joke and joyfully took pictures with a stranger in a strange outfit.
After that, Peterson stabbed these young men and went for 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 went hiking 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 for help, but fell to his death after falling off a cliff.
And these photos were taken by a group of experienced tourists who, upon returning home, noticed with horror 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 what is strange is that an older boy leads a younger one by the hand? But behind this photo lies a terrible tragedy...
Jon Venables and Robert Thompson were taken from shopping center two-year-old James Bulger was brutally beaten, had his face covered in paint, and left to die on railroad tracks.
The 10-year-old killers were found thanks to surveillance video. The criminals received the maximum sentence for their age - 10 years, which extremely outraged the public and the victim's mother. Moreover, in 2001 they were released and received documents under new names.
In 2010, it was revealed that Jon Venables had been returned to prison for an unspecified parole violation.
It later became known that Venables was charged with possession and distribution of child pornography. Police found 57 images of child pornography on his computer. Venables posed online as a 35-year-old married woman who bragged about abusing her 8-year-old daughter in hopes of obtaining more child pornography.
Take a photo of your own killer. Again, at first glance we see the usual family photo, but take a closer look at the background.
The photo was taken by Filipino adviser Reynaldo Dagza, whom the killer decided to take revenge on for helping to arrest him for stealing a car.
It was the photo that helped 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 discovered only after a detailed study of the photo that the picture captured a man falling from a 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 containing this photo was found in the washing machine of Travis Alexander, who was killed in the shower by being stabbed 25 times, including in the neck, and shot in the head.
The incident was blamed on his girlfriend Jodi Arias, with whom he was going to break up, but the girl pursued him and literally did not give way.
Other photographs found at the crime scene showed the pair in sexual poses, and an image of Travis in the shower was taken at 5.29pm on the day of the murder. In photos taken just minutes later, Alexander was already lying on the floor in blood.
Seconds before the explosion. The father and daughter posing for the photo hardly knew that the car photographed next to them contained explosives that would detonate in a few seconds.
This terrorist attack in August 1998 was carried out by the terrorist organization Authentic Irish Republican Army. As a result, 29 people were killed and more than 220 were injured. The camera with the first photo was found under the rubble, and his heroes miraculously survived.
