Another tragic selfie.

I just read that another woman was killed while she was trying to take a selfie near a volcano in Indonesia. The woman tripped on her too long pants and fell into the volcano in front of her husband. I accept that we are all a bit dumb. I, miself, know that I should walk more yet I dont do it. But htere are limits. These tragedies due to selfies are happening every day. And there are other technology related tragedies everywhere. Today, a man was talking to his cellphone while driving and he killed a small child. Knowing the laws here, the man will not be in prison for a long time. And, can you tell that to the child´s mother?

It is a shame that many of us are obsessed over selfies in dangerous places.

I have read of a lot of tragedies since selfies started to be popular.

@Deepizzaguy It is incredible that some people are so stupid that instead of taking advantage of technology, they use it to do damage.

I agree with you. But the law won´t give him much punishment, I bet.

Quite saddening to hear. I hope the man who drove into a child gets justice. The parents loss is terrible.

Our laws were written before technology took over.

Oh my! I'm sorry for the wife's husband for his loss. Both situations are tragic. The child's mother might never get over such a reckless loss. The man should get life.

Those killings are often called "accidents" specially if the killer is rich.

I can't understand why people are so careless - and who wants dozens of photos of themselves. I guess it's so they can send them to friends but it's not worth getting killed for.

Why would anyone with a sound mind want a picture hanging from a volcano?

While it is terrible, it is also very stupid.

Killing anyone while not paying attention for whatever reason is a terrible thing. But people who die in silly ways while trying to get a good selfie... well I don't have that much sympathy.
