Capturing The Moment Before Disaster (22 Pics)

I’m not really a picture taker, but I’m glad they exist. Sure, it can be annoying having someone stopping every 10 feet to take a picture rather than just living in that moment. Without those people, we’d miss out on photos taken before disaster.

Moments before disaster are usually forgotten. People only remember what happened. Pictures taken before disaster? Those live on forever.
