Poor lad. He was doomed as soon as he got in there. He would have froze to death or ran out of oxygen and suffocated at a higher altitude had he not fallen.

Keith had just returned from an around the world trip with his parents, which they took him on in a bid to satisfy his innate curiosity for travel.

However upon return they quickly discovered that the trip only furthered his restlessness and unwavering desire for adventure.

They took the kid around the world and he was still this curious.

On that same morning, unaware of the tragedy that was about to unfold in front of him, amateur photographer John Gilpin was taking photos at the airport.

Even after Keith fell, Mr Gilpin was oblivious to the tragedy he had captured. It wasn’t until one week later when he had his film developed he saw the now-infamous image.

That must have been a terrifying discovery to come across.
