ie and John Knill

10.潔姬·尼爾和約翰·尼爾

On 13th January 2005, the bodies of John and Jackie Knill, a Canadian couple, were found on a beach resort in Thailand, following the tragic tsunami that struck on 26th December, 2004. The 2004 Ocean earthquake resulted in the death of approximately 230,000 people in 14 countries. Weeks Later, a Seattle man, who was in Thailand for relief work, discovered a damage camera. While he discarded the camera, he kept the memory card. Later, he downloaded the images to discover photos of the Knills enjoying their holiday. The above photo is the last image of the sea before the wave hit the shore, and it was taken at 8.30am on 26th December by the Knills. The man who discovered the camera luckily recognised the couple from the missing person's website, and so contacted their two sons in Vancouver, Canada. The man even drove all the way from Seattle to Vancouver to present the sons with the final images of their parents and their holiday.

2005年1月13日，人們在泰國的海邊度假勝地發現了加拿大夫婦潔姬和約翰的屍體。這件事發生在2004年的海嘯災難之後，當時這場印度洋地震襲擊了14個國家，約23萬人因此而喪生。幾周後，一個在泰國從事救援工作的西雅圖人發現了一個損壞的相機。他丟掉了相機，卻留下了記憶卡。後來他把卡里的圖片下載下來，發現是尼爾夫婦在海邊度假時拍攝的照片。上圖是海嘯襲擊前最後一張印度洋的照片，由尼爾夫婦拍攝於12月26日早晨8點30分。發現相機的西雅圖人很巧合地在失蹤人口網站上找到了該夫妻，從而聯繫到他們在加拿大溫哥華的兩個兒子。這個男人甚至從西雅圖一路驅車到溫哥華，只爲把這對父母度假時最後拍攝的照片交還給他們的兒子。

rt Budd Dwyer

9.羅伯特·巴德·德懷爾

Robert Budd Dwyer was a politician who for 10 years served at a Republican member of the Pennsylvania State Senate, and went onto serve as the Treasurer of Pennsylvania until his death in 1987. He was, however, convicted of accepting a bribe, and so called a press conference to announce his resignation. Facing a punishment of up to 55 years imprisonment and a $300,000 fine, Dwyer took matters into his own hands. At the press conference, which was broadcast live on TV to Pennsylvania audiences, he read out his speech and began to hand out enveloped to staff. Holding the final envelope in his hand, Dwyer pulled out a gun and said: "Please leave the room if this will offend you". His friends and cabinet members pleaded with Dwyer to put the gun down, leading him to stutter as he spoke to his audience. Before anyone could stop him, Robert Budd Dwyer pulled the trigger, dying in his office.

羅伯特·巴德·德懷爾是賓夕法尼亞州參議院的一名共和黨成員，其任期長達10年之久。之後他又效力於賓夕法尼亞州的財政部直至1987年離世。然而羅伯特卻因受賄而被判刑，接着召開記者招待會來宣佈辭職。面對長達55年之久的監獄之災和高達30萬美元的罰款，德懷爾決定自己了結一切。在向賓夕法尼亞州觀衆直播放送的記者會上，他發表講話並把信封分發給工作人員。之後德懷爾手裏拿着最後一個信封，從裏面掏出一把槍，並說到："如果這會冒犯你，請離開這個房間。" 朋友和內閣成員懇求德懷爾把槍放下，德懷爾只是結結巴巴地跟觀衆說話。由於在此的人都沒能阻止他，羅伯特·巴德·德懷爾扣動扳機，在辦公室當場身亡。

Titanic

8.英國郵船泰坦尼克號

This is believed to be the last photo of RMS Titanic, as she embarked on her maiden voyage to New York. However, the ill-fated liner never completed her journey, as she collided with an iceberg 400 nautical miles south of Newfoundland, Canada, on 14th April 1912 at 11.40pm. A few hours later, the ship sank, taking the lives of over 1,500 people. Only 705 people survived the maritime disaster.

據說，這是泰坦尼克號在開啓它前往紐約的處女航前拍攝的最後一張照片。然而這倒黴的郵輪並沒能完成它的旅程。1912年4月14日晚上11點40分，郵輪撞上加拿大紐芬蘭以南400航裏處的冰山。幾小時後，郵輪沉沒，超過1500人葬身大海，僅705人在這場海難中得以倖存。

rd Siwiec

7.雷塞德·斯威斯

Rysard Siwiece was a Polish accountant and is known as the first person to commit suicide by self-immolation in protest against the Soviet-led invasion of Czechoslovakia. Whilst the image was captured on camera (shown above) on 28th September 1968, the Polish press did not mention the incident. His story was forgotten until the fall of communism in 1989.

雷塞德·斯威斯是波蘭的一名會計師，因率先以自焚的方式來抗議蘇聯入侵捷克斯諾伐克而出名。儘管照片拍攝於1968年9月28日，但波蘭媒體並未對此事進行報道。因此直到1989年共產主義垮臺之前，雷塞德的事蹟都不爲人們所知曉。

Clark

6.吉姆·克拉克

This is the last close-up image of the two-time Scottish Formula 1 World Champion, Jim Clark On 7th April 1968. Here he can be seen sitting on the grid in the Formula 2 vehicle he later lost his life in. Jim's Lotus 48 unfortunately veered off the race track and crashed into trees. Many people recalled his unease the entire weekend, which some believe is shown in the above photograph.

這是攝於1968年4月7號，兩屆蘇格蘭一級方程式錦標賽冠軍吉姆·克拉克最後的特寫鏡頭。照片裏的吉姆坐在位於比賽始發處令他喪命的次級F2賽車裏，悲劇產生的原因是他的車"蓮花48"號不幸偏離賽道而撞到樹上。事件發生後的整整一個星期，很多人回憶說吉姆當時顯得有些不安。關於這一點，一些人認爲可以在上面的照片中發現。

sh Ghetto

5.猶太人區

13,000 Jews were killed during the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising in 1943, which was an act of Jewish resistance that occurred in the Warsaw Ghetto in German-occupied Poland during WWII. The remaining 50,000 residents were captured and transported to either concentration or extermination camps. The above image shows an unnamed Jewish man leaping to his death from the top story window of an apartment block. It was taken at 23 and 25 Niska Street.

在1943年的華沙猶太區起義期間，1.3萬猶太人被殺。這場起義是二戰時猶太人爲了反對德國佔領波蘭在華沙區進行的抵制運動。區內剩下的5萬名猶太居民被捕，並送到了集中營或屠殺場。照片中，一個不知名的猶太人從公寓樓的頂層窗戶跳下，不幸墜亡。拍攝地點位於尼斯卡大街的23號到25號。

nesia AirAsia Flight 8501

4.印度尼西亞亞洲航空8501航班

This photo was taken by 23-year-old Hendra Gunawan Syawal, a passenger on the doomed AirAsia flight QZ8501. Here he can be seen smiling with friends in the cabin, as the plane prepares for take-off from Surabaya airport in Indonesia. The friends were heading off to Singapore to celebrate New Year, and sent the photo to a friend shortly before take-off. On 28th December 2014, the aircraft crashed into the Java Sea due to bad weather. All 155 passengers onboard, and seven crew members, lost their lives.

這張照片的拍攝者是23歲的亨得利·古納萬·施婭，QZ8501航班悲劇的乘客之一。照片上可以看到一臉笑容的亨德利與朋友們坐在機艙裏，當時飛機正準備從蘇臘巴亞機場起飛。他們將要前往新加坡慶祝新年，並且在飛機起飛前不久把這張照片發給了一個朋友。2014年12月28號，由於天氣惡劣，飛機在爪哇海墜毀，155個乘客和7位機組人員全部喪生。

Frank

3.安妮·弗蘭克

This is believed to be the last photograph of Anne Frank, standing with her sister, Margot, in 1942. It is thought to have been taken before her family were discovered and arrested on 4th August, 1944. Sadly, Anne died a few days after Margot at Bergen-Belsen, a Nazi concentration camp in 1945. The exact date of their deaths were not recorded.

據說這是安妮·弗蘭克生前的最後一張照片，拍攝於1942年，當時她和姐姐瑪格特站在一起。人們認爲在1944年8月4日，安妮的家人暴露行蹤、被納粹黨逮捕之前這張照片就已經存在了。1945年，瑪格特被關進位於卑爾根-貝爾森的納粹集中營，沒過幾天安妮也不幸去世。沒有相關記錄表明這些人具體的死亡時間。

Louis Mayor

2.聖路易斯市長

William Becker, Mayor of St Louis, can be seen above buckling in for a flight with fellow dignitaries on 1st August, 1943. Following this photo, the glider tragically crashed and no-one survived the unfortunate accident.

由圖片可見，1943年8月1日，聖路易斯市的市長威廉貝克和其他的政要官員一起搭乘飛機。不幸的是，滑翔機後來意外墜毀，無人生還。

a Smith

1.莫伊拉·史密斯

Moira Smith was just another NYC police officer on 11th September, 2001, but when the World Trade Center began to collapse following a terrorist attack, she proved she was no ordinary officer. The above photograph shows Moira helping Ed Nicholls into an ambulance, just before she headed into the lobby of the south tower to find another person to help. 10 minutes after this photo was taken, the building collapsed with Moira inside. May we never forget the heroism shown that day, and the many lives lost in this tragic event.

在2001年的"911"事件中，莫伊拉·史密斯原本只是紐約市的一名普通警員，然而當世界貿易中心遭受恐怖主義襲擊開始坍塌時，她證明了自己並不是一個普通的警察。上面的照片中，莫伊拉幫助愛德華·尼克爾斯進入救護車進行醫治，當時她正要到南邊大樓的大廳去救其他人。但就在這張照片拍攝的10分鐘後，莫伊拉所在的大樓倒塌了。願我們永不會忘記莫伊拉在那天所展現出的英勇氣魄，也不會忘記在這場悲劇裏逝去的諸多生命。
