Tragic stories of 2015 through pictures.

Disasters, whether triggered by mother nature or by humanity, seem to be falling upon the Earth day after day, killing and injuring thousands of people at a time.

Wreckage of the Airbus A320 is seen at the site of the crash, near Seyne-les-Alpes, French Alps March 26, 2015.
