Italian Isabella Fracchiolla, 16, was trying to take a photograph of herself on the seafront during a school trip to the seaside town of Taranto, in south-eastern Italy. The schoolgirl, who suffered multiple injuries, was rushed to hospital where she underwent a major operation, but doctors were unable to save her life. The craze for ‘selfies’ has gained global popularity and has fans as wide ranging as Pope Francis and Ellen de Generes. But experts have warned people are increasingly putting themselves at risk as they try to take more spectacular and risky self portraits to outdo their friends. In April a 17-year-old Russian girl fell 30 feet to her death after climbing onto a railway bridge and getting electrocuted by live wires.[/quote] [url]http://www.irishmirror.ie/news/teenager-plunges-60ft-death-onto-3681522[/url] [editline]18th June 2014[/editline] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Ru4fwogX34[/media]
call me callous but this is just darwinism at work.
I guess the conditions that day were a tad rocky
Sad she had to die due to this, but she WAS acting pretty retarded.

Did she ever get that selfie? Nothing like that genuine "oh fuck" face when you're about to test out your mortality.
She may not have been on point, but those rocks were.
worth the RTs tho

Really?[/QUOTE] It's not the fact that her death is funny, it's the fact that she died trying to take a fucking selfie. That's what's funny, that this girl was that stupid to balance over a cliff to take some insignificant photo, which ended up costing her life.

Does this foreshadow what Final Destination movies are going to be like in the future? Complex selfie situations gone grimdark. Alright now my sympathy has flooded in, I'm horrible; sucks a lot that she didn't survive. Hard to imagine how one little decision like that ended her life, over a picture.
I wonder what the fellow who tried to kill himself over being unable to take the perfect selfie will have to say about this.
I have a friend who takes selfies religiously like this, and every time I see a news article relating to selfies and health issues, I post it on his wall. I'm only concerned for his safety.
Vanity was the death of her
Yet another selfie death? South Park warned us...

This isnt probably the place to talk but she's 16?!?
[QUOTE=LaTrefle;45144953]This isnt probably the place to talk but she's 16?!?[/QUOTE] Most of those who take selfies are around that age, because they're the ones trying to fit into the new waves of 'culture'.

Wow. SH is fucked up. 37 people rated funny after someone died, not to mention all the people who are trying to make a joke... I know it's a dumb thing because of Selfies but come on...

I could flashback 5 years ago, look at a news post in FP about someone dying and see the very first post be "did she drop any good loot", and that phrase actually became an autoban sentence from its popularity. I'm 100% sure we can all see this is a horrible thing, but the fact that her entire death is attributed to taking a selfie at a horrible time is probably why it's getting this reaction. And regarding ratings, whatever majority of ratings that are clicked in the beginning of a threads creation usually end up being the main rating for the thread. You could post this same thread and have a different set of FPers see it first and it could be rated/reacted to completely different.
