Eerie Pictures Captured Throughout History That Will Take Your Breath Away

The 1910 Chair Crossing During Great Flood of Paris

Paris’s Seine River overflowed into the streets in January 1910 due to months of nonstop rain. Many anxious Parisians were forced to leave their water-filled houses to find safety outside the city during this period. The streets were, of course, filled with flood water with nowhere to walk.

This image demonstrates the struggles people had when attempting to navigate Paris’s streets. They devised several creative means to get about, including walking on seats, paths made of wooden planks, and even canoeing. At that time, the water level climbed up to around 28 feet above sea level and claimed five lives.
