Tourist Fatally Blasted By Airplane Jets

Princess Juliana airport is a popular, yet risky runway strip, where flights arrive and leave St. Maarten, in the Caribbean. Located precariously close to the beach, many tourists standby and watch as the planes take off and land, despite warning signs located all over by airport management. Sadly for one New Zealander, as one plane was taking off, the 57-year-old woman held on to one of the fences while watching the plane speed down the runway, and was knocked off balance, causing her to hit her head. Unfortunately, she died from her injuries.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Civil rights leader and revolutionary Martin Luther King, Jr. was an important figure in the battle for equal rights in the United States of America in the 1960s and helped change the landscape for the African American community there. In April of 1968, while on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, King was gunned down by James Earl Ray, an event that would affect the USA as a nation. This photograph was taken on the exact place he was assassinated, one day earlier.
