Sometimes it is impossible to see when a disaster is about to strike. Other times, it is hard to see how it occured at all. Luckily, there are instances where a person holding a camera was quick enough to capture the moment right before disaster hit.
Below we have compiled 30 photos that show the scene moments before disaster (number 12 is hillarious)!
