Many have had the experience of standing on a train platform during a crowded period, and worrying about being pushed and shoved towards the train tracks. But this photo shows everyone’s worst nightmares come true. Ki-Suk Han was pushed in front of a train in the New York City subway, and was unable to get himself back onto the platform in time. The 58 year old father and husband died immediately when the train made impact.
Xenia Ignatyeva
Just one month away from her 18th birthday, and Xenia Ignatyeva decided she wanted to take more than your average selfie. She climbed onto a railway bridge, and posed for this photo as well as others, probably hoping to share it on social media for some likes and comments. The bridge was 30 feet high, and the fall alone may well have killed her, but she was also shocked by 1,500 volts as she grabbed live wires during the fall.
If you want to raise money for a worthy cause, you have to get attention by pushing the limits. Robert Overacker was hoping to raise awareness and money for the homeless, and so, in 1995, he set out to do an incredible feat, Jet Ski over Niagara Falls. We will never know if he might have managed this, as his rocket propelled parachute never opened, and he fell to his death. This photo is taken right beforehand.
Reynaldo Dagsa
A picture is worth a thousand words. That was certainly the case for the murder trial of Reynaldo Dagsa, who actually took this photo of his killer accidently while his family posed for a new year’s shot. He was assassinated seconds later on New Year’s Day 2011, and this very photo was used to help convict the man who did it. Dagsa was just 35 years old when he was murdered, and this photo shows the wife, daughter, and mother he left behind.
Elisa Lam and the Water Tank Mystery
The young lady that you see in this camera footage is a college student by the name of Elisa Lam. She disappeared back in 2013 and after some time her body was eventually found at the top of the Cecil Hotel in Los Angeles in a water tank. You can see here that she was hiding from someone and talking to herself, but the strange thing is that this last footage of her still cannot explain as to how she ended up in the water tank.
