Keith Sapsford, a 14 year old australian teen wanted to explore the world, so he snuck into a plane wheel well, it opened mid-air and the boy fell out. The photographer was just testing his new lenses and was shocked after developing the images.

It took a few hours for the plane to depart with Sapsford waiting in the compartment. Ultimately, the aircraft did as planned and took off. When the plane reopened its wheel compartment to retract its wheels, Keith Sapsford’s fate was sealed. He fell 200 feet to his death.

Jack the baboon operated a railroad switch in South Africa for many years (~1890). He was paid 20c/day plus beer.

Jack was the pet and assistant of double leg amputee signalman James Wide who known as "JUMPER", who worked for the Cape Town–Port Elizabeth Railway service. James "Jumper" Wide had been known for jumping between railcars until an accident where he fell and lost both of his legs. To assist in performing his duties, Wide purchased the baboon named Jack in 1881, and trained him to push his wheelchair and to operate the railways signals under supervision.

An official investigation was initiated after a concerned member of the public reported that a baboon was observed changing railway signals at Uitenhage near Port Elizabeth.

After initial skepticism, the railway decided to officially employ Jack once his job competency was verified. The baboon was paid twenty cents a day, and half a bottle of beer each week. It is widely reported that in his nine years of employment with the railway company, Jack never made a single mistake.

After nine years of duty, Jack died of tuberculosis in 1890. Jack's skull is in the collection of the Albany Museum in Grahamstown.
