- Online gallery features the most uncanny situations ever captured on camera
- One snap shows a fire extinguisher that has inexplicably burst into flames
- In another, an upturned car comes to a grinding halt next to a road safety sign
Whether these are staged or little more than a coincidence, these perfectly-timed snaps are so ironic it’s hard to believe they’re real.
A new online gallery has emerged, showing situations which are so contrary it’s hard to believe they really happened.
In one snap, a sleeping plane passenger can be seen clutching a book on ‘overcoming insomnia’, while in another, a movie poster for the 2013 blockbuster Gravity lies crumpled on the floor after falling from the wall.
From a fire extinguisher that has burst into flames, to an upturned car next to a road safety sign – whether or not they really happened, they’re guaranteed to raise a smile.
