Passengers who survive a plane accident are either too disoriented and terrified to think or too injured to do anything.

Most people use their phones to communicate with loved ones or to make emergency calls.

However, after surviving a terrible plane accident, one couple used their phone to shoot a selfie. And in doing so, they have perplexed the internet.

According to accounts, a firetruck collided with the plane as it took off from Lima’s Jorge Chávez International Airport at around 3:30 p.m. on Friday.

The deaths of two firefighters, Angel Torres and Nicolas Santa Gadea, who were on the runway, were later confirmed by reports. However, none of the plane’s passengers or crew was killed.

One lucky couple who managed to exit the jet unscathed decided to take a selfie with the wrecked plane in the background.

Enrique Varsi-Rospigliosi, who is thought to be the man in the photo, captioned the image, “When life gives you a second chance #latam.”

The shot rapidly went viral online and was even shared on the A320 Systems Facebook page.

The photo rapidly went viral online, and it was even published on the A320 Systems Facebook page with the caption: “Selfie of the year. Glad they are okay.”

While some users found the situation amusing, many others felt the couple should have realised they were risking their lives by taking photos.

Someone wrote: “It’s very sad for the relatives of the firetruck. Perhaps the people in the picture weren’t aware of the fatalities or perhaps were just so relieved to have survived themselves. In the moment they maybe didn’t think it through and were saying to their own family they were ok. We who comment weren’t in the accident so can’t know their thinking.”

“This could have been a major disaster. Everyone on the plane is extremely fortunate” said yet another.
