1.
This picture is from Ooltgensplaat, the Netherlands, in 2013. This wind turbine caught fire as two technicians were working on it, and there really wasn't much they could do once the blaze got going. In this picture, the two embrace before one tries his luck at jumping almost 200 feet to his death. The other tried crawling down through the tube, only to get trapped inside. They were 19 and 21 years old.

Be smart, use a Tecno W4 cos its just N23k, use etisalat cos its more reliable, always eat vegetable soup cos its good for your health, Avoid drugs and alcohol then visit Nairaland regularly so you can get informed and get wiser

2.

Carl Williams was an Australian drug kingpin who got into some legal trouble and was sentenced to life in an Australian prison. During his time behind bars, he reportedly turned informant and started talking about former associates. In this picture, an associate of his former associates approaches Williams from behind with a piece of tubular steel torn out of an exercise bicycle. Williams' body wasn't discovered for another half an hour.

Say NO to domestic violence.

3. A British mall surveillance camera captured this image in 1993. The little boy is James Bulger, and he's holding hands with a 10-year-old who is leading him out of the mall. After leaving the premises, they were joined by another 10-year-old. Together, the two older boys killed James, apparently for no reason. The senseless brutality of the murder shocked British society to its core. James' killers were held for years in juvenile detention, then took new identities on being released as adults.

5. Parkour is an amazing urban sport. Freerunners leap, scale, and flip over the sides of buildings as if gravity has given them a hall pass. Pavil Kashin, however, had his pass revoked with this maneuver. In this picture, Pavil is flipping on the ledge of a 16-story building. The maneuver was successful, but he lost his footing just after landing. Kashin fell over the edge and died on impact.

6. Reynaldo Dagsa was a Filipino politician who specialized in antagonizing violent gangsters. Like Begnino Aquino before him, Dagsa would be made to pay for making enemies. This picture, taken just after midnight on New Year's Day, 2011, shows Dagsa's family celebrating the holiday. It also shows a man named Arnel Buenaflor jumping out of his car and firing the shot that would kill Reynaldo, who was taking this picture. When your victim literally takes your photograph as you squeeze the trigger, you're as good as convicted. Buenaflor and two partners were arrested within days of the murder.

Weird......

7. Joseph Avery went rafting on the Niagara River in 1853. During the trip, the team's boat capsized, and Avery's two companions drowned. A strong swimmer, Avery managed to get to a log, which is where this photograph was taken. Unfortunately, nobody had the equipment or the expertise to mount a successful rescue, and after 18 hours he lost his grip. Avery's body was swept over Niagara Falls.

8. Quick science lesson: Gliders, in order to stay in the air, must have a minimum of two (2) wings, preferably one on each side. On its first public exhibition in St. Louis in 1943, this Waco glider crashed after a poorly-fastened bolt came loose and the starboard wing sheared off. The glider plummeted 2,000 feet onto Lambert field and hit the ground with what one witness described as a dull thud, killing 10 people.

9. And what people they were! Since this was the Waco's first public exhibition, all kinds of important people went up for the test flight. The group in this picture, which was taken a few minutes before liftoff, includes St. Louis Mayor William Becker; William Robertson – the founder of Lambert Airport and head of the company that built the glider; Chamber of Commerce president Thomas Dysant; and the St. Louis County Chief Executive, Henry Mueller. In a single crash, a sizable fraction of St. Louis' political and business elite were lost, which is something to think about if the mayor of your city ever invites you and his golfing buddies along on a SpaceX trip he's taking.

10. John Lennon, signing an autograph for Mark David Chapman – his biggest fan. Chapman shot Lennon a few hours after this picture was taken, as Lennon was returning to his apartment.

11. Speaking of groundbreaking musicians, here's the Notorious B.I.G. enjoying a night out in Los Angeles. The dapper young man at his side is Sean Combs, a.k.a. "the guy whose job used to be saying 'that's right' in the background whenever Biggie sang." Right after this picture was taken, the 24-year-old Biggie got in his car and was shot at a red light by some prick in an Impala.

12. This is Gary Slok, posing for a selfie with his mom right before their flight lifts off from Amsterdam in June 2014, at the start of their South Pacific vacation. A few hours later, their flight, Malaysian Airlines Flight MH17, was shot down over Ukraine with no survivors.

13. This 20-year-old man, identified to the press by his first name, Maqsood, allegedly crossed two or three barriers to get to the edge of the New Delhi Zoo's tiger exhibit. As you can see, he slipped and fell 18 feet into the moat. The tiger saw it too, and came over to investigate. What happened next is probably best left to the imagination, but it was a couple of hours before zookeepers were able to drive the tiger back into its cage and recover the body.

14. Older readers will doubtless remember R. Budd Dwyer, pictured here at his last press conference. Dwyer was a career politician and Pennsylvania State Treasurer who, in 1986, was convicted of some serious corruption charges. This press conference was called immediately before he could be removed from office. At the conference, Dwyer repeated his denial that he had broken the law. After his statement, Dwyer pulled a revolver out of a paper bag. In this picture, he's warning onlookers to stay away, as: "this thing could go off."

15. Then he did this. As it happens, this wasn't exactly the irrational act of a desperate man. Since he had already been convicted of corruption charges, Dwyer was no longer eligible to hold his office, and in fact was due to be formally removed that afternoon. By killing himself before his official firing, Dwyer ensured his state pension would be paid to his surviving dependents.

Op plx we want some more

16. This perfectly normal looking guy is Robert Ben Rhoades. Like all people whose middle name is used in news reports, he's a serial killer. His thing was picking up hitchhikers in the early '90s and . . . doing things to them. He's sitting on multiple life sentences, and he keeps confessing to more killings, so he probably isn't getting out. Anyway, the next picture is the last one in this gallery. It was taken of Regina Walters, one of Rhoades' victims. It isn't graphic, but we won't hold it against you if you maybe skip it.

17.. Regina Kay Walters (1975-1990). Nothing to say here. No jokes. She was 15. Rhoades took this picture in a dilapidated barn a few minutes before he killed her. The silver pewter lining is that this picture was shown to the jury and earned Rhoades his first life sentence.

Dasuki and Olisa Metuh need to see wisdom in this guy's action

Looking forward to Saraki emulating the scenario above.

18. John F. Kennedy was the 35th President of the United States from 1961 until his infamous assassination in November 1963. Despite his relatively short time as President, he has gone down in history for his involvement in key parts of the Cold War, the Space Race and the African-American Civil Rights Movement.

While on a political trip to Texas, President John F. Kennedy was shot once in the throat, once in the upper back and once in the head. The above photo was taken only seconds before the shots were fired

19. Unidentified 9/11 Jumper The September 11 attacks will forever go down as a pivotal moment in history, much in the same way 1963's JFK assassination was. In many ways, the event was distinct from terror attacks preceding it, due to growing prevalence of media and portable technology that meant that every stage of the tragedy was recorded in detail.

This heartbreaking photo shows an unidentified jumper on his descent from one of the upper floors of the tower. Many victims of the attack chose to jump to certain death rather than face the incredible heat of the flames from inside, a terrifying choice that is almost impossible to imagine.

20. Unidentified Nepali Man This photo from September 11, 2013, shows an unidentified Nepali man only inches from the ground after jumping from the top of a three-story shophouse. Emergency services had tried to talk him out of jumping for hours, but were unsuccessful in their attempts.

It later emerged that he had recently lost his job, according to what he had told a Fire and Rescue Department officer. The man was killed almost instantly, only a split-second after this photo was taken.

beautiful compilation. this should hit front page

21 This still from video news coverage shows one of the last ever images of police officer Steven Green, shortly before he was stabbed to death by the suspect on the right. While cuffed, the suspect was able to somehow stab Green in the sally port of the jail he was to be held in.

Following the stabbing, the suspect was able to escape, but was tracked down by police a short while later. A gunfight ensued as the suspect hid beneath a home, and he was killed in an "exchange of gunfire".

22. Lady Diana With Passengers And Driver The death of Diana, Princess of Wales, was a highly controversial incident marked by an uncertainty as to the direct cause of the crash, and accusations of a cover-up. An inquest that ended in 2008 found that Diana and Dodi Fayed were the victims of gross negligence by chauffeur Henry Paul, who was allegedly struggling with substance addiction at the time.

The inquest also judged that the paparazzi drivers in the vehicles ahead had contributed to the accident. This photo was taken by one of the paparazzi photographers in front of the vehicle, only moments before the fatal crash,.

23 Unidentified Chechen Villagers This terrifying image from 2002 shows a group of Chechen villagers looking up from a hole they dug themselves, shortly before it was turned into a burial pit. This horrific occurrence took place following troubles with Chechen rebels.

It's alleged that soldiers raided villages in the local area, dragging them off to be tortured or killed and often attempting to ransom them to the families. In the aftermath, various pits were discovered in fields, filled with body parts that appeared to have been blown up with explosives.
