Disaster Girl

Typically, you don’t see a photo that isn’t as chilling as this one. The girl in the picture, seemingly grinning at a house fire, came to be known as Disaster Girl. The real story isn’t quite so frightening.

You’ll be relieved to learn that this wasn’t a house fire but a training exercise in Mebane, North Carolina. The girl in the photo is named Zoe and was smiling when her father, Dave Roth, caught a picture that seemed a bit more sinister than reality.
