Downed Pegasus
When: January 13, 2018
Where: Trebizond Airport, Turkey
2018 wasn’t exactly off to a good start at Trebizond Airport in Turkey. On January 13th, one of their planes veered off the runway unexpectedly and headed straight for the adjacent open waters. Thankfully, the plane came to a stop before it hit the water, which undoubtedly would have made the experience a far more tragic and destructive one. The drone photograph shows just how close it came to happening, and the pilots probably considered the 13th to be their lucky day from that day on.

The Following Whale
Details: There was a huge whale following a few sailors for up to 15 minutes
Deal Breaker: The sailors had no idea they were being followed and it turned out the whale was quite friendly
A more beautiful natural shot you probably won’t even be able to find, and it’s likely that this drone photograph will serve as inspiration for many movie directors trying their hand at CGI. This mammoth whale was apparently following these sailors for a period of around 15 minutes, and after they discovered what was happening, they wondered whether they should be frightened at all. He ended up being quite friendly, and a few moments later of playtime, decided to be on his way.
