17 Haunting Photos Of People Moments Before Their Death

4. Jane Wicker

Talented wing walker Jane Wicker was one of the industry's leading stars before her death in 2013. She and her pilot Charlie Schwenker were performing for thousands of people at the Vectren Dayton Air Show, before the biplane crashed in a fiery explosion, killing both wing walker and rider.

The manoeuvre leading to the crash involved the plane ascending into a loop, so that Wicker was sitting on the wing of the upside down plane. For unknown reasons, the wing upon which Wicker was sat banked sharply to the ground, and the plane hit the ground shortly after.
