Caught In a War
In this picture, we can see a regular, joyful gang of friends as they are hanging out in metropolitan Beirut. But, the tragedy that hit soon after taking this photo is hard to believe. A couple of minutes afterward, a bomb went off among the mob and slew the 16-year-old teenager sporting a red-colored hoodie, Mohammed Shaar.
Mohammad was 16 years and of Lebanese origin when he died due to a car bomb that led to the killing of a renowned politician.
Honey, I Soaked The Kid
This kid is a perfect example of not crying over spilled milk. He literally looks like he could care less that there is a mixed drink being poured onto him. Maybe he looks like he doesn’t care because he’s super comfortable on mom’s lap. Mom looks like she is very much regretting ordering a drink with sticky juice in it at this point!
Dad doesn’t know yet at this moment, but we’re sure he had a great laugh when he saw this picture. Hopefully, he didn’t see it until after that night when the kid was cleaned up and it was funny already instead of just mildly inconvenient.
The Pregnant Mother's Life Was Not Spared
Sharon Tate was a popular female actor and model during the 1960s. She along with her director spouse, Roman Polanski, were a fortnight from the delivery date of their first child when she was mercilessly killed by associates of the notorious “Manson Family” sect, as guided by Charles Manson. Four others were slain in the assault. This picture was taken a little before that doomed and ill-fated night.
The Tate Murders took the lives of 5 innocent people at the hands of four members of the Manson Family who invaded Sharon and Roman’s house at Cielo Drive in Los Angeles. Polanski was not in the house at the time of the murders as he was in Europe shooting a film.
Calamity at the Grand Canyon
Going on a hike usually brings about mental images of relaxing times in the great outdoors. And most of the time that's what it is. But it's important to remember that there are safety protocols to adhere to, depending on your trail. Especially if it involves elevated surfaces.
A tourist named Colleen Burns of Orlando was visiting the Grand Canyon with friends in 2016. She moved to the side of a trail to allow another hiker to pass, slipped, and plummeted 400 feet to her death. Burns had posted this happy photo to Instagram just hours before her fatal accident.
Tragedy on the Movie Set
Through the 1982 shooting of Twilight Zone: The Movie, an untoward helicopter mishap lead to the death of Vic Morrow and two adolescent actors six more were injured. The whole scene was shot on camera and resulted in a revamp of the movie interest legislation. This image captures the moment right before Morrow was executed. Film Director John Landis and many other executives of the production squad incorporating explosives expert Paul Stewart were sued on murder counts. They were later freed. The actors’ family members had an out-of-court settlement amounting to millions of dollars from civil suit proceedings.
The photo was taken at a place called Indian Dunes, which is near Santa Clarita, Los Angeles, United States. The two child actors who were killed due to the accident were Myca Dinh Le and Renee Shinn Chen, who were 7 years old and 6 years old respectively.
