Two mechanics hugging each other before he died on the burning windmill

on the Dutch island of Goeree-Overflakkee are many windmills, which require regular maintenance control. A group of four engineers engaged in the maintenance of such a mill, when, due to a short circuit in the engine room fire started. Two people were able to go down to the bottom, the other two of the group at that time were in the gondola at the end of the turbine and did not manage to get to a safe mesto.

When the heat of the flame has become unbearable, one of the mechanics jumped down from the 67-meter height. The other remained at the top waiting for help, but it came too late. Mechanics were 19 and 21 years, and this is their last photo.
