Two News Helicopters’ Collision In Phoenix

The fast-paced life of a news correspondent isn’t without its hazards and sometimes, getting the scoop on a breaking story might even be worth the risk. Unfortunately, no risk is worth taking if it involves loss of lives, just like what happened in the skies over Phoenix, Arizona in July of 2007.

While covering a high speed car chase happening on the streets below, two news helicopters accidentally collided midair, sending the two aircraft hurtling to the ground in balls of fire. Four unfortunate souls were lost that day.

Bombing In Omagh

Differences in Ideologies have divided mankind for centuries and sometimes, the fiery passion of some individuals or groups to drive their agendas turn violent in an attempt to disrupt and hurt their opposition, hurting innocent people that get caught in the crossfire such as what happened in this photo.

The red car beside the man and the boy was a bomb strategically placed in a busy area in Omagh by the Real Irish Republican Army. After the photograph was taken, a massive explosion from the car bomb rocked the surrounding area, killing 31 people including the photographer. Miraculously, the father and son pair survived the attack.
