11. Just Before The Shark Attack
This is the haunting last photo of Duncan snorkeling in the background (in a red circle) as his 2-year-old son is playing on the beach. Seconds later, Duncan disappears and his remains are found later that day on the beach.
Mom, Taylia Craw, took the picture, and it’s the last photo of her husband, while the family was vacationing in the south of Australia. Later, authorities notified Taylia that Duncan (32) actually died from an unknown cause and only after that, was eaten by sharks.
12. Monks on Fire
During the time of the Vietnam War, Buddhist monks would set themselves on fire to protest their persecution by the South Vietnamese government. Many consequently died and many more suffered permanently-scarring injuries from the deep burns all over their bodies.
The photo shows monk Thích Quang Duc being covered in gasoline just before lighting himself on fire in June 1963 in Saigon. His act, despite its horrifying nature, would bring international attention, including from sitting U.S President John F. Kennedy, to the persecution taking place.
