#10 – Olsi Beheluli In October of 2014,
drug dealer Olsi Beheluli posed for a picture that showed him flaunting roughly $293,000 in cash,
the brunt of which he’d allegedly made by selling illegal substances. 24-year-old Beheluli,
along with two others from his organization, Besim Topalli and Azem Proshka, were subsequently
jailed after the police confiscated heroin and cocaine from their residence. Beheluli had posted
pictures on Twitter of him gambling and enjoying a luxurious lifestyle, displaying wads of cash and
bragging about the fortune he’d made from his criminal enterprise. Upon his arrest, Beheluli
denied that the money was his, claiming that it belonged to a relative of his in Albania. However,
an analysis of the photos Beheluli had posted proved that they’d been taken in an apartment that
he’d previously rented in London. Investigators also came across what was used as a “stash house,”
where they discovered more cash, drugs, counterfeit identity documents, and equipment
related to trafficking. Beheluli was convicted of conspiring to supply class A drugs and sentenced
to 11 years in prison. Topalli and Proshka were given sentences of 10 years each, after admitting
to conspiracy to supply drugs, money laundering, and carrying fake identification. A judge ordered
that, upon the completion of their sentences, the men were to be deported back to Albania.
#9 – Arlando Henderson On December the 4th of 2019, North Carolina man
Arlando Henderson was arrested for stealing $88,000 from the bank where he worked. A
picture of the 29-year-old was found on social media, showing him posing with the ill-gotten
money. When his employers became suspicious, the FBI got involved and launched an investigation.
It revealed that Henderson had been able to pilfer the considerable sum because
he’d had direct access to the vault. There were at least 18 different times when he’d stolen
cash from deposits that the bank’s customers had made. He’d deposited some of it in an ATM not far
from his work. According to the authorities, Henderson’s motive for stealing the money was
for his own personal expenses, including making a $20,000 down payment on a Mercedes-Benz. He’d
presented falsified documents and bank statements in order to do so. The pictures he’d posted of
himself flaunting wads of cash and showing off his new luxury car were what ultimately led the
police to him. Henderson was arrested and charged with two counts of financial institution fraud, 19
counts of theft, embezzlement and misapplication, and 12 counts of making false entries, which meant
a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison and a $1 million fine per each count. He was also charged
with transactional money laundering, for which he faced 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
#8 – Oscar Otero Aguilar In July of 2014, man from Mexico
City was drinking with his friends when he decided to play with a gun that belonged to one of them.
21-year-old Oscar Otero Aguilar wanted to take a selfie with the firearm and upload it to Facebook,
but he was unaware that the gun was loaded. As he posed with it, he accidentally pulled the
trigger and shot himself in the head. Neighbors heard the commotion and called the police.
When they arrived at the scene, Aguilar was still alive and was consequently rushed to the hospital
in an ambulance. However, his injuries proved too severe, and he died on the way.
#7 – Michelle Lewin Venezuelan fitness model Michelle
Lewin was bitten on the backside by a pig, in the Bahamas, on February the 12th of 2019. She’d
gone to an uninhabited area specifically to take pictures with the feral pigs that lived there. As
the 32-year-old was being recorded frolicking and twirling on the beach, a group of pigs came up to
her. One of the animals then bit her directly on her backside. Lewin began screaming and running
away as the pigs chased her. While largely unscathed, she did emerge from the incident
with a cautionary souvenir in the form of a red bite mark that eventually turned into a bruise.
#6 – Xaviara Cornejo In March of 2019, a young girl
named Xaviara Cornejo suffered a serious injury while in the process of taking a selfie in her
bathroom. In a recording that captured the incident, Cornejo was seen posing for a picture
when her younger brother suddenly opened the door, unaware that she was inside.
The door hit the girl directly in the face and caused her to fall at an awkward angle, resulting
in her needing to be rushed to the hospital. Cornejo was told she’d suffered a broken neck and
had to use a brace to heal. She went on to make a full recovery, but the incident generated a lot
of negative attention from her followers. They called Cornejo derogatory names for the type of
“suggestive” content she was making and her Instagram account has since been deleted.
#5 – Jaime Alvarez On July the 7th of 2019, a man from California
was participating in the annual running of the bulls in Pamplona, Spain, where he was impaled
by a bull, after ignoring rules that prohibited taking pictures or videos during the event.
46-year-old Jaime Alvarez had already completed the 850-meter run before jumping on a protective
fence, as the group of bulls were charging by him. Once the animals had passed, Alvarez
returned to the arena, thinking that it was safe to take out his phone to film. It was then that
a lone bull suddenly appeared and charged him. The bull stabbed him in the neck with its horn
and fractured his cheekbone. Following the injury, paramedics on site rushed Alvarez to the hospital,
where doctors were amazed at how closely the horn had missed his jugular vein. He underwent surgery
for over two hours and, despite remaining in critical condition after the procedure,
he eventually made a full recovery. Alvarez wasn’t the only injured bull runner on the day, as two
other men were reported to have suffered wounds to their thighs. Aware of the event’s risks, Pamplona
had, at the time, passed laws making it illegal to take videos, photos, or even hold a distracting
device in one’s hand on the course. Anyone caught breaking the law risked a fine of up to $4,100.
#4 – Incident in Uttar Pradesh, India While attending a festival, in September
of 2016, an unnamed school girl from Uttar Pradesh, India, was trying to take a selfie
in front of a Ferris wheel. As she posed for the camera, she got too close to the attraction,
and her long hair got caught in the spinning wheel. The ride partially scalped her,
leaving her barely conscious as onlookers rushed over to free her from the machine.
In a short video that was taken at the scene, the girl’s friend was seen trying to comfort her,
as blood from her injured head soaked her clothing. Eventually,
the school girl was freed from the ride and rushed to a nearby hospital
where she received treatment for the injury. She was able to heal and make a full recovery.
#3 – Plattini Stalone de la Torre Cordoso Plattini Stalone de la Torre Cordoso,
a 22-year-old Brazilian man living in London, posted pictures of himself showing off bundles
of cash that he’d made by forging identity documents, in July of 2010. When the British
Transport Police pulled Cordoso over during a stop-and-search operation, they found two forged
Portuguese identification cards and driver’s licenses. They arrested him and obtained a search
warrant for his apartment, where they discovered equipment used for making forged passports,
ID cards, and insurance cards. Among the equipment were stamps, printers, blank cards, paper cutters,
and other equipment that Cordoso had used to produce and sell false identity documents.
Police also discovered several hundred capsules of a Class C substance that they suspected were
also being sold by Cordoso. As the investigation progressed, police found out that Cordoso had
opened up bank accounts using the forged documents he‘d created, selling both the counterfeit
documents and bank accounts as a “package” deal to his customers. Based on the pictures that he’d
posted, police described Cordoso as having a total disregard for the law. He was sentenced to four
years in jail after pleading guilty to four counts of possessing false identification documents,
one count of possessing apparatus for making false documents, and one count of possessing
a controlled substance. Following the completion of his sentence, Cordoso was deported to Brazil.

#2 – Jack Fenton On July the 25th of 2022, British tourist
Jack Fenton was killed by the tail rotor of a helicopter in Greece, while he was taking a
picture. During a tour heading to Athens, the 22-year-old was accompanied by three friends
in the same helicopter while his parents were following in a second helicopter behind them.
After Fenton’s landed at his destination, he got out and began walking around
to the back of the helicopter, with his phone in his hand, trying to take a picture. No longer
focused on his surroundings, Fenton was struck by the aircraft’s rear rotor and killed instantly.
The helicopter carrying his parents was redirected to land at another location to avoid them seeing
their deceased son. Following the incident, the pilot was arrested and charged with manslaughter.
Police argued that there was no circumstance under which a passenger should’ve been allowed to get
out of the helicopter while the rotor blades were still moving. It would’ve taken the blades around
two minutes to stop, after the engine had been turned off. An investigation was launched to
determine whether or not the pilot had instructed the passengers to prematurely exit the aircraft.
#1 – K. Sanjeev
A young Indian man from Tamil Nadu was taking a selfie when he fell into an irrigation well,
on May the 14th of 2021. The 20-year-old, only identified as K. Sanjeev, had been visiting a
nearby farm with friends when he hopped onto a tractor. Witnesses later claimed that,
after starting the vehicle, he began taking selfies on his cell phone. Then, as the tractor
started to move backwards, Sanjeev fell into a well, which was 120 feet deep and filled with
35 feet of water. Farm workers called police and fire rescue services for help. Eight officers
arrived on the scene, but it was too late to save Sanjeev, who’d drowned in the well. The
officers worked for four hours to drain it before they were able to retrieve the young man’s body.
