I'm gonna go ahead and predict you're expecting something different than what you're about to read.

quote:

A Polish couple was killed after they tried to take a selfie on a cliff in Portugal and fell hundreds of feet, Polish Radio reported.

The couple fell from the rocky edge of a cliff in Cabo da Raca, Portugal, on Saturday. They would have had to cross a safety barrier in order to reach the cliff edge, the Polish Radio reported


quote:

Their young children, ages 5 and 6, were with them and witnessed the accident. They are currently under psychiatric care, according to Polish Radio.

A Spanish couple that was also at the location called emergency crews and rescuers tried to recover the bodies using a helicopter, but had to give up because of the rising tide on Saturday. The bodies were recovered on Monday, according to Polish Radio.


These are the cliffs they fell over.

Safety barriers exist for a reason.

I hate the word selfie and the obsession with taking your own picture

Doesn't look like the end of civilization to me.

Looks like survival of the fittest at its finest.
