Life is so uncertain. We never know what will happen tomorrow or next hour. Everyone is but living at the mercy of ‘unknown’ fate and destiny, everyday, which we all can do nothing about it except to humbly bow down before it.
Below are some of the pictures that represent the moment between life and death. They were captured right before something bad happened to them. Take a look and let’s remember them in our hearts and prayers.
1. Last photo of the Titanic before sinking.
2. Twin towers in New York before the terror attacks.
It was captured by Even Kuz on September 10, 2001, just less than 24 hours before they fell down.

It is so sad that some tragedies were self induced.
