The last seconds of American Airlines flight 191, May 25th, 1979 before crashing and killing all 271 souls on board plus 2 more on the ground. Its left engine (missing in the photo) was incorrectly repaired earlier, causing it to detach during take off. Fuel and hydraulic fluid is gushing out of the left wing. At the time it was the deadliest airplane disaster in American history.

The last image from film found among the wreckage of Air New Zealand flight 901 from November 28th, 1979 as it was impacting Mt Erebus in Antartica. I’m pretty sure it’s oil from the engines being splattered on a window in the milliseconds between them disintegrating upon hitting the mountain, and the camera being destroyed.

Her boyfriend earned his media nickname - the Monster of Miami. You may have noticed that I’m leaving out the murderer’s name on purpose, as I’d like to make this post more about Maria rather than what happened to her. Tragically, it is a shame that it is what she would be remembered for nearly 10 years on.

Laura Dahlmeier died on July 28 on Laila Peak (6069 m) in the Pakistani Karakoram Range in a mountain accident at 5700 m due to a rockfall. The rescue operation to recover her body was unsuccessful and was called off on the evening of July 29.

Laura Dahlmeier and her climbing partner were descending from the summit of Laila Peak in the Pakistani Karakoram Range on the morning of July 28. During a rappelling maneuver at around 5,700 meters, Laura Dahlmeier was struck by falling rocks. Her uninjured climbing partner immediately made an emergency call, and a rescue operation was launched without delay.

Attempts to recover her by the climbing partner continued for many hours but proved impossible due to the difficult terrain and ongoing rockfall. As the partner was also unable to detect any signs of life from Laura, she decided during the night hours to retreat from the danger zone and continue the descent.

On the morning of July 29, Laura Dahlmeier was sighted during a flyover by a military helicopter, but no signs of life were visible. Due to technical and rescue-related limitations of the helicopter, an aerial rescue could not be carried out. A ground rescue was also not possible because of the ongoing danger of falling rocks and the objective hazards at the accident site.

Based on the observations from the helicopter flyover and the descriptions by her climbing partner regarding the severity of the injuries, it must be assumed that Laura Dahlmeier died instantly. With nightfall, the recovery operation was called off in the evening. Her climbing partner was accompanied back to base camp by acclimatized mountaineers who had ascended to assist her. She is uninjured and is receiving care on site.

Recovering the body is not feasible for the rescue teams due to the currently prevailing difficult conditions with rockfall and a change in weather at Laila Peak, which pose too high a risk.

It was Laura Dahlmeier’s explicit and written wish that, in a case like this, no one should risk their life to retrieve her. Her wish was for her body to be left on the mountain in such a situation. This is also in accordance with the wishes of her family, who have expressly asked that Laura’s final wish be respected.

This screenshot was taken towards the end of the episode and is possibly the final picture of Ozzy Osbourne and his final public appearance. Three days after this, he tragically died. Rest In peace and power and thank you Ozzy.

The Hyatt Regency skywalk collapse happened on July 17, 1981 in Kansas City Missouri. An improperly designed skywalk on the 4th floor collapsed onto the 2nd floor skywalk (clearly visible in the background of the photo), crushing numerous people. The pancaked 4th and 2nd floor skywalks then collapsed onto the dance floor below, where hundreds had been participating in a dance party.

His older brother felt sick at his wake and later died in hospital. It was also from a heart attack. He was 75.

He had a medical emergency mid-air and crashed into the swimming pool of a nearby camping village, dying on impact and seriously injuring a young woman in the process. He was 56.

Felix was best known for being the first human to break the sound barrier outside of a vehicle (relative to Earth's surface) when he jumped from a helium balloon in the stratosphere in 2012. He retains the world record for the fastest freefall speed and distance without a drogue from this attempt, among many other skydiving and base-jumping records in his decades long career.

My dad passed early Monday morning. This man was my rock. He's who i went to for life advice. He's who I talked politics and religion with. This man saved me from drug addiction. He was always there for me when I needed a helping hand, not just money. I don't know how I will go on without him. I'm gonna miss you dad!!
