  • Woman pedestrian walks past bent railings in a London street. In a perfectly-timed picture, the lady strides past the damaged railings, twisted by a vehicle, perhaps - or by someone with strong tools. Her legs are perfectly aligned with the angle of bent steel uprights - now reshaped into diagonals. The street is underoing massive change due to the capital's Crossrail project where pedestrian disruption actually encourages people to walk a shorter route in the road, rather than the safer pavement.

  • A policeman and the devastated fuselage of a British Midland Airways Boeing 737-400 series jet airliner which lies on an embankment of the M1 motorway at Kegworth, near East Midlands Airport in Leicestershire, England.

Attempting an emergency landing, 47 people died and 74 people, including seven members of the flight crew, sustained serious injuries. The aircraft's tail snapped upright at ninety degrees and here perished most of the passenger fatalities. The devastation was hampered by woodland and the fire fighters are attempting to rescue survivors or extract those killed in this air disaster that proved one of Britain's worst.

  • Leaping into the air all together are young members of the Donegal High School football cheerleaders squad in Mount Joy, Pennsylvania. On a Saturday afternoon as their team called the Braves take a break during their inter-school match, the young ladies wearing matching Irish-green colours leap in free manoeuvre on the instructions of their trainer. They have left their pom-poms on the grass and we see the rest of the sports-loving crowd in the bleachers on the far side of the pitch. Some choose to do mid-air leg splits, some a rather unelaborate twist and of some we only see arms merging with other bodies while others barely make it off the ground, such is their poor timing but there is generally lots of effort and energy in this brief spontaneous moment.

While standing erect, he twists a high-tension tool that secures the concrete sleepers to the steel rails using a Pandrol Clip. The tunnel snakes its way into the distance behind him, lit by temporary lighting on the 5-mile tunnel wall. Its sections are reinforced concrete, shaped for the Heathrow Express electric Siemens-built trains that provide a direct link between Heathrow's terminals and Paddington station in central London. This is now the most expensive rail-mile fare in the UK at £15.50 for a 15-minute journey.
