Reason: to clarify that while i'm not being sarcastic i also unintentionally am-- and would probably need 1,000 words to clarify that

Diana Bryant, 19, and Tiara Jones, three, were above a blazing apartment in Boston clinging to the fire escape. The fire escape collapsed and this picture was taken by Boston Herald photgrapher Stanley Forman. Bryant punged five floors to her death, but Tiara miraculously landed on top of her and survived.
This picture ran the depth of the front page of the Herald, and Boston subsequently tightened up its fire regulations.

Trollveggen in Norway. Up to 1100 meters pretty much straight down
The father of basejumping, Carl Boenish was killed here not long after setting the world record for highest basejump in 1984. It has taken the life of 7 more people since then, even though basejumping there was banned in 1986 because it's virtually impossible to reach jumpers stuck in the wall by helicopter. People still jump regularly.

Geirangerfjord in Norway
And finally a random picture I took myself not far from my home town

This one posted earlier is interesting, for anyone who is interested the original photo when published was doctored, the russian soliders holding the flag have multiple wrist watches on, and they were doctored out of the published photograph so that looting would not have been suggested.
Excellent thread
