The only picture I have of my mother. I have very vague memory with her, she feeding me food while I was playing and once while I was sitting on the porch with her. I was around 3-3.5 years old. It's been close to 38 years now. Sometimes I wonder how my life would have been if she was around.

Passenger Cor Pan posted a photo of the Boeing 777 on Facebook while waiting to board at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, captioning it "If it disappears, this is what it looks like”

The plane was en route from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur when contact was lost at 14:15 UTC over eastern Ukraine, near the Russian border. It was shot down and crashed, sadly killing all 298 people on board 😢

Dennis Sochor was executed for the murder in July 2026. I had previously posted this photo six years ago in a rather poor quality black and white version but had decided to repost due to the execution and due to the fact that I found a better quality, color version of the image.

On April 16th, 2014, the Sewol Ferry sank off the coast of South Korea while en route to Jeju Island.

When the ship listed, an automatic message played telling passengers to go inside and stay put. The captain was the first to escape. An evacuation order was never given, and the only survivors were the ones to disobey the message.

The ferry carried 476 passengers, out of which 325 were 11th grade students from Danwon High School. 304 people died, 250 of which were students.

(Someone made a previous post on this, I wanted to add more photos I've found they didn't post. There are students and other passengers in the photos)

Most photos are from the Sewol's Virtual Cemetery ( https://www.findagrave.com/virtual-cemetery/461567?page=1#sr-160814833 ) and some are from screenshots I've taken from videos, documentaries, and news. Any censors and text on the photos were not done by me.

For anyone interested in learning more, I have been making a document with all photos I could find of the tragedy. It includes the ferry before and after sinking, photos from students on the dock, before the sinking, during the sinking, and some resources.

Last pic of my grand ma who took care of me. She died on October 1st at 101. I was not ready.

The accident happened on 03/07/2016 in the south of Brazil..

Luiz and Caroline had taken their newborn daughter to meet their relatives, but on the way back home, they were surprised by a truck with no brakes carrying 43,000 liters of alcohol, it overturned and hit about 14 cars coming in the opposite direction...

The family's car was engulfed in flames within seconds

Even though they were injured, they ran to the side of the road, but the fire quickly caught up with them... So, when Luiz realized he couldn’t escape, he decided to hand his daughter (who was only 16 days old) to a passing driver, his last words were, ''Please, just take the child'' after that, the couple disappeared in the fire.

Later, the firefighters found their bodies at the side of the road.

The photos of them holding their daughter were taken 8 days before the accident, and the child was left in her grandmother's care...

Glen recorded his final song "I'm Not Gonna Miss You" 2 years after his Alzheimer's diagnosis as a farewell to his wife.

The song is truly beautiful and heart breaking: https://youtu.be/U8TsAh-zYFI?si=V2I3drHWkjrISmUR

She was put in Lithuania's record books as the longest performing solo singer (58 years by 2009). Her exact birth year is unknown but the 2 main options would suggest that she died at either 86 or 91 years old.

From the source: Upon arrival with their families in the Gogjali area, brothers Ahmed Abdullah Hassan (R) and Leith Abdullah Hassan (L) are arrested by Iraqi Federal Police and handed over to ERD forces. They had escaped from the Quds area after fighting started between Iraqi forces and ISIS. At the border the Golden Division of Iraqi Special Forces confirmed that they were civilians and not ISIS, and gave them permission to enter the Gogjali area. After their arrest by Iraqi Federal Police, they were taken to ERD Intelligence Headquarters and tortured by four soldiers until morning. They were killed later that day without an investigation or trial. The two bodies were buried in the nearby Bazwaia area, Mosul. December 15, 2016.
