Some Of The Craziest Images Captured By Drones
Drones are great gadgets. Since they were first invented people have been able to capture footage and angles they wouldn't have ever been able to previously. Sometimes, trying to get a shot might be too dangerous for a human to snap with a traditional camera, but with a drone, the job is way more accessible. In a few cases, people have come across things they weren't expecting while using their aerial devices and the results have been frightening at times. Have you ever seen a clown wandering a corn field all by himself? You'll have to read on to learn about that odd setup!
Please Don't Break
Located in Zhangjiajie, China, this 100-meter-long and 1.6 meter-wide glass skywalk is attached to the cliff of Tianmen Mountain. Yes, the trail is made out of glass. We're hoping it's the toughest glass this planet has to offer.
You've got to be pretty brave to walk on sheer glass this high up in the sky. You couldn't pay us enough to walk even one step across this skywalk. This is even scarier to think about than it is to see.
A Little Sliding Action
Natural disasters aren't anything you want to get involved with if you can help it. They have the power to destroy everything in their paths and make life miserable for all living creatures in the way. Once you get the news of one approaching where you are, you'll want to get away ASAP.
This photo inspires sheer terror. Imagine lying in your bed and then out of nowhere your whole home begins to slip away! This sliding issue happened thanks to El Niño.
Hurricane Maria Effects
Sometimes, mother nature is something you can't avoid and will not be beaten. This is a prime example of that. The road in this picture is located in Puerto Rico and is the after-effects of Hurricane Maria in 2017.
When roads become only a trace of what they used to be, then you know something deadly took place. It looks like a scene from a superhero movie after the final fight of the film. This is just as much disheartening as it is terrifying.
Tubbs Fire
Imagine going away for a few hours, leaving your home in perfect condition, only to come back to this decimation. What makes it worse is that some of the homes on the block survived while others became ashes.
This is the result of the Tubbs Fire in Northern California. The fire earned that name because it started near Tubbs Lane on October 8, 2017, but didn't finish until Halloween. Wind gusts helped increase the devastation of the fire across the communities it affected.
Dystopian Look Of Manhattan
There are so many TV shows and movies out today that place in a dystopian setting. Perhaps the shows' writers are trying to warn us of possible future scenarios. Whatever the case, this picture of Manhattan has that doomsday vibe to it.
The fog adds to the eerie look of this city. If everyone in Manhattan saw this picture, they might get a little freaked out. One day, it could look this bleak forever...
Hungry Lion
There aren't many things that are more frightening than a hungry lion. That animal will gladly make you it's lunch or dinner if you're in the wrong place at the wrong time. Thankfully, this is a picture from a drone and not a really tall human.
For if it was a person taking this picture, he might not have made it out of there alive. We aren't saying all lions are dangerous, but a hungry one can't be trusted.
Wildfire Preview
On one side of the road, there is life and blooming flowers as well as gorgeous green as far as the eye can see. On the other side of the road, however, is nothing but the bleak aftermath of the Rodeo–Chediski Fire.
This image goes to show that things shouldn't be taken for granted. Officials had to tame 1,300 square kilometers to make sure this thing didn't get any more out of control. The thought of being reduced to ashes is frightening.
Is That A Giant Baby?
This isn't creepy at all. Just a French artist laying on top of his giant land art. If you were flying over this we don't think you'd probably be a little bit startled before you'd become appreciative of the art.
The piece depicts a little girl dropping an origami boat into Lake Geneva. The art is for a good purpose, but people's initial reactions might not be as open-minded to it as the artist might have been hoping.
What A Wave
Have you ever experienced what it's like to almost drown? What about having a monster-sized wave bringing you under? Those are some of the scariest feelings you can experience while swimming. It isn't fun.
The tiny human in this picture looks like he's about to get eaten by this giant wave. We don't know if he made it out of this wave safely or not, but it looks like he could have felt some pain.
That's A Long Way Down
Tennis is an amazingly fun sport to play. It's an individual effort so there's no blaming any other teammates for a loss. Things can get competitive too, so there's no telling how what can happen in any given match.
Usually, you play this game on a flat surface on the ground. We don't suggest you play on top of a helipad 211 meters in the sky.
Don't Fail
Playing in the snow is always enjoyable. It's even better if you know how to snowboard or ski because then you have a different type of freedom and speed under your belt. You're really good if you know how to do tricks.
However, not everyone is so good at landing their tricks. In this picture, you see a gentleman who is either going to land the best backflip ever, or he's going to seriously injure his neck.
Would You Do It?
To those who have the courage to go bungee jumping, we applaud you. That's one of the most exhilarating things someone can do. You're extremely high up in the air attached to a bungee cord and then you jump.
But who knows how durable the cord is? We aren't telling you to stop trying this, we're just saying bungee jumping is an anxious person's worst nightmare. This picture perfectly captures the thrill and fear of it all.
Terrifying Rides
You've probably seen these types of attractions at the fair or some theme parks. This is the bungee jumping equivalent of carnival rides. Suspended in the air with a buddy, you have no clue how sturdy those poles are that hold you up.
It may be fun while it's happening, but the build-up to the ball's launch into the air is enough to make anybody worried and frightened about what could take place while that high up.
Shark Infested
What would you do if you were swimming and at least a two dozen sharks swam up and surrounded you? That doesn't sound like anything you want happening to you, does it? If not, we suggest you stay away from Palm Beach, Florida.
Amazingly enough, there are people who create positive relationships with sharks and can get close with them without needing a cage. It takes years to get that comfortable with them, but it only takes seconds before you're their food.
Oh, Dear
Just looking at this image can stir up a person's fear of heights. Then once you look a little closer you see that the guy in red is already jumping off the cliff, ready to glide to safety.
It's only safe if the parachute works properly. We're sure they tested them to ensure that they will come out when the string gets pulled, but it's still something we have our concerns over... because you just never know.
As If Hang Gliding Is Any Better
If you thought paragliding was something crazy to do, imagine hang gliding. The difference between the two is that the latter has a huge wing you have to take into account while you're gliding high over the ground.
Neither activity seems very safe, but they do look like they will be fun for the right people. One jam of a parachute and things will get nasty quick. Kudos to everyone brave enough to engage in this for fun.
