Photos Where No One Saw the Writing on the Wall
Some images capture moments before chaos strikes. In most cases, before the disaster, the subjects fail to take the necessary precautions and risk their bodies in potentially dangerous situations that could lead to an accident. Sometimes, impulsive decisions can have unexpected consequences.
The following photos may elicit surprise, laughter, or astonishment, and they offer a lesson in how vulnerable people are and that no one is exempt from something going wrong.
They might be images of a cat about to knock over all the ornaments on a shelf or of people working at heights with a ladder that is about to wobble.
