Sometimes, split-second changes can have a tragic and profound impact on our lives. From plane crashes to dramatic falls, to natural disasters and more, people can find their lives changed irreversibly when something unexpected happens. Occasionally, there is a camera around when this occurs, and the moment is captured forever in a picture. Here are some haunting photos taken just before disaster struck.

In February 2015, Taiwan was hit by a disaster that would shake the nation. As a TransAsia Airways flight took off from the runway, those who were driving over the Keelung River could do nothing but watch as the aircraft, and its 58 passengers crashed into the waters below.
It’s been reported that the pilot “pulled back the wrong side throttle” during take off, but as the plane began to swerve out of control, there was nothing that could be done. 42 passengers lost their lives, and this was the last photo taken before the crash.
