22 People Acting Cool While Everything Burns Around Them

Daniel Bonfiglio Published 06/16/2024 in ftw

Staying cool while under pressure is a valuable skill. But staying calm, and literally not caring about the world falling apart around you are two separate things. These 22 folks had the latter.

Kristi McCluer, who is incredibly not a professional photographer, captured a striking photo of the 2017 wildfires in Oregon, while a group of golfers played their 18th hole in front of her. The photo was never supposed to include the golfers, but their presence showed how life goes on no matter what else is happening. She went on to state that the golfers were in fact very worried about the fires. But if there's nothing you can do, why shouldn't you take the edge off by playing a few holes?

See that photo and 21 others that depict people acting cool in chaotic situations.
