That fleeting moment: 20 photos taken exactly one second before a disaster
There are moments in life that are so unique that they must be immortalized by a photographic lens at all costs; among these moments, those that reach the most absurd and incredible peaks, there are undoubtedly the fleeting ones, which last only a few seconds, which perhaps occur a moment before an impending disaster. It's very difficult to take a decent photograph of these "fatal" seconds, but for the lucky few who have accomplished the feat, we dedicate this long list of images that have been immortalized by the camera lens a second before something irreparable happened.
After all, as they say, time is running out and we must always and in any case ... seize the moment!

Some seconds before disaster...
