Once they realized they could use it against him, they launched their mass coordinated campaign only a month later. Even Fauci was on TV saying this was similar to the flu and susceptible people were the ones at risk |

Last picture of David Johnston, 13 hours before Mt. St. Helen’s erupted in 1980. USGS Volcanologist; was on a ridge (now named Johnston’s Ridge which is an amazing hike btw) 6 miles away directly in front of the volcano. First person to report the eruption. Remains were never found, state highway worker found his USGS trailer remnant 13 years later.

Last image of wing walker Jane Wicker taken right before impact. The same photographer took multiple pictures as the crash happened and there are images of her impacting the ground out there for the morbidly curious. Pilot Charlie Schwenker also died in the crash.

Essa Ricker and Kelsea Webster, both 15, along with Kelsea’s little sister, Savannah, took their final selfie while standing on the westbound train tracks in Utah’s Spanish Fork Canyon in October 2011, just as a train passed through, tragically striking and ultimately killing all 3 girls. |

"My mother and I were booked on that American Airlines DC-10 that crashed shortly after takeoff at the Chicago airport,” she said. “But 10 minutes before we were due to get on I had a psychic flash that warned me of disaster. “I begged my mother to change our flight and an hour later we learned that all 271 people onboard had been killed. I haven’t doubted a single premonition since.” TYCOM |

As much as you think they are pets, they are not.
 911 call Bear kills a man Warning graphic content Cannot find the series of pictures but years ago a man went to do some photography and stumbled on a grizzly with cubs. They did not know it at the time but he started taking pictures. At some point he apparently realized the sow had other ideas and things were about to go the wrong way so he pulled out a revolver and started shooting. The film in the camera was developed sometime later and it showed his final moments. |
