On June 22nd of last year I declared 2013 the year of the selfie . And I was right. In the meantime, almost a year has passed and all kinds of selfies have passed by. From funny to macabre. From the Space Selfie, the Selfie Olympics, the Sello Tape Selfies to the Funeral Selfie (which even Obama participated in during Nelson Mandela's funeral). However, the Suicide Selfie beats them all.
Suicide selfie
On December 4, 2013, the first report was made. A blonde woman had been standing in bangladesh mobile phone number list front of the famous Brooklyn Bridge for half an hour watching someone wanting to jump off the bridge to end his life. Just before the man changed his mind and was escorted off the bridge by rescue workers, she took the photo in question. The photo received worldwide attention and the media called it outrageous.
Group photo
Last Saturday it happened again. A man wanted to jump off a bridge that spanned a highway. Drivers called the emergency services and shortly after the highway was closed, resulting in a three-hour traffic jam. A number of stranded motorists tried to kill time in a very morbid way by taking a group photo with the jumper in the background.
