Uh-Oh Cargo Overboard
This cargo ship came very close to capsizing altogether. While the ship's captain was relieved that the ship didn't tip over, he was disappointed to find out what happened to the cargo on the back of the ship. Unbelievably, eight of those large shipping containers ended up in the water.
You might think that they would've lost more, but that's still a lot of valuable product lost. You never know when disaster is going to strike next.
One Heck Of A Grand Finale
Granny And The Gator
Grandma was just trolling around in the water getting ready to take a nice activity picture when the unthinkable happened. This alligator peeked his head up to give her a scare she'd never forget.
Luckily, nobody was hurt, but moments after the picture was taken, she looked down and let out a scream so loud, that the alligator retreated.
Swimming With The Whales
Run! Gators!
These folks were on an airboat tour through the Everglades when it suddenly took on water and dumped everyone into the gator infested waters.
Ironically, the tour guide was freaking out more than the passengers were, but that was probably because he knew what the dangers actually were. They all made it out safely, but not before gators started approaching, sending everyone's adrenaline levels through the roof!
That Was Close
The Python Whisperer
This woman befriended a giant Burmese Python, known to swallow humans whole. She seemed completely peaceful.
These things commonly eat crocodiles, so going swimming with one seems like a ludicrous idea. Considering that this pretty lady wasn't harmed by this thing, maybe she's really a python whisperer.
Coulrophobia
Daredevil Kid
Teenagers do stupid things. This young man decided it would be a great idea to create his own ramp on the side of a river bank and try to fly his bike to the other side.
His mother's face in the background screams the fear for laundry in her near future. His sister couldn't help but to find this moment hilarious as he smacked his face on the water like a bellyflop!
The Wandering Eye That Almost Cost Him An Eye
Swimming With The Whales
This whale came awfully close to realizing that humans don’t taste good. We’re all glad our ocean friend decided to stick to its diet of plankton and small crustaceans.
It wouldn’t be unreasonable for these divers to play it safer from now on. Gosh, what a photo, though!
That’s One Cruel Joke, Guys
Gator Stand-Off
Officer Chuck Lamm holds a 6-foot alligator at gunpoint after it snuck up on him as he tried pulling someone over. The gator stared Officer Lamm down for 20 minutes before walking back to the water.
As for the individual Officer Lamm wanted to pull over, well, he was long gone.
Not-So-Killer Whales
Elephant Love
This couple seems so calm and collected despite the giant elephant about to pick up their car and toss it. He must have been just wanting to get acquainted because a few sniffs were all it took and the couple drove off.
Did you know that elephants were this big? I mean, look at its legs, they are taller than the car those kids are in!
Octopus Pack
Just A Little Nibble
Camels can be aggressive with one another and don’t usually display violent behavior towards humans. They even enjoy sniffing humans and will sometimes play with their hair.
In this case though, it looks like one camel was beyond frustrated and took his anger out on a pretty innocent tourist.
Pole Dancing On Public Transport
A Furry Cat Rocket
If we could shoot our kitties out of big, silly cannons, this is surely what the furball projectiles would look like. With that look of determination, this critter must have been chasing after something seriously exciting.
Felines don’t tend to exert themselves like this unless they think it’s worth it.
Bee Stings Hurt The Bee
Dodgeball—Or Not
If you’ve ever been struck in your face while wearing glasses, you know exactly how much it hurts. Innocent frames of metal and plastic turn into weaponized assault garments.
This woman might have a hilarious photo for a dating site now, but she won’t play contact sports with glasses ever again.
Special Delivery!
Duck! (Actually, It’s A Pigeon)
This photo is nothing short of a tried and true classic—there’s just something special about it. It looks exactly like the pigeon has targeted this child in particular for some sort of birdy, wasteful revenge.
(If you haven’t seen this photo before, you must be new to the internet. Welcome!)
Sick Of This Party
Sudden Doom
The timing of this photo is absolutely perfect. It had to have been taken a literal second before this car dove nose-first into the waters below. We know what you’re wondering, and no, there was no one in the car.
This car was actually dropped into the lake from the sky. Why? Maybe a mob boss was hiding evidence, or maybe someone was extremely bored.
Taken Out At The Ballgame
THIS. IS. SPARTA!!!
Oh, bird fights—so tiny, hilarious, and cute.
These two are different species, and it looks like they’re well aware of it. Why else would you boot someone who’s just trying to enjoy a seedy little snack? Mother Nature is beyond tough when you really think about it.
A True Fairytale Wedding
Walking On The Clouds
This is actually a great photo that shows what skydiving really feels like! Falling through clouds for sixty seconds is a sensation like no other.
This guy’s clearly a professional if he’s striking poses in freefall, too. Advanced jumpers do all kinds of crazy challenging stunts in midair.
Something Fishy Underwater
True Stealth Mode
If this pupper was aware of the kitty hanging from the doorframe, wouldn’t he be looking at it? This cat could drop at any time and give that poor dog a serious scare.
On the other hand, maybe it’s such a standard occurrence that he doesn’t care.
Minibike Problems
A Little Leggy
This photo really raises more than a few questions. Isn’t it strange to have a mirror finish on a waist-height bar?
Why is this space as brightly lit as a family restaurant? Do the waitstaff know that this alt-leg phenomenon takes place, or are they entirely oblivious?
Is This Why Women Live Longer Than Men?
This One Can’t Be Real
This has to be Photoshopped, because what museum would house one of their pieces under plexiglass and another out in the open? Also, why would a museum allow guests to walk up to the pieces without having their pedestals bolted to the ground?
There are so many questions behind this photo.
Conversation And Poolside Relaxation—Or Not
Deep Breathing
The pair responsible for posing and shooting this photo definitely planned it ahead of time. The end result is fantastic but frightening, because wouldn’t you end up with a face full of rocks and sand after this?
Eh, whatever—sometimes you’ve just gotta do it for the Instagram. Namaste.
The Birthday Cake Fail
Gotta Love The Attack Suit
It’s got to be really freaky to train police dogs. Even when you’re covered in a suit of armor, those first few attacks have to send your brain into panic mode.
This type of training starts in the puppy stage, so that must make for a fun couple of years for the canine.
A Poor Judgement Party
Showing Off A Lack Of Skills
These people must be at the end of a night filled with partying. Why else would you be posing with a thumbs up for a photo with a pizza?
No matter what they’re doing, though, they hopefully had another pizza in the freezer for backup. Falling food always lands face down, and that’s a fact.
Gymnastics And Pool Decks Don’t Mix
It’s Going Down, I’m Yelling Timber
Yikes. This would be one of those heart-stopping moments of fear that we usually encounter at least once as drivers.
What are you even supposed to do if this happens? If you’re lucky enough to get out of the way, probably get on the phone with your lawyer.
