Default Army combat photographer last seconds alive photos
Back in 2013, Army combat photographer, Spec Hilda Clayton was taking photo's of an Afghan mortar team when a round exploded in the tube. She keep clicking milliseconds before her death and the death of the mortar team.

The second photo is from an Afghan combat photographer she was training as well. You can spot the lens in the lower left of the second shot. Both were killed.

Brutally real. RIP to all.

First pic, behind him and to the right looks like red spray maybe from his right leg or abdomen?
