At this point, the selfie is becoming a dangerous phenomenon, as stories of people dying whilst attempting to take one has become a little too commonplace.

An 18 year old Romanian girl is dead after attempting to take ‘the ultimate selfie’ on top of a stationary train in the Romanian town of Iasi.

Anna Ursu, went with her 17 year old friend to the train station to take the selfie, which they planned to post on Facebook. According to MailOnline, Miss Ursu and her friend got on the roof of the train, but she came into contact with the electrical field of an overhanging electrical cable that sent 27,000 volts zooming through her and caused her to burst into flames.

Her friend was also tossed off the roof of the train by the charge, but she luckily survived and is in hospital recovering from her wounds.

A passerby who saw the incident tried to douse the girl’s burning clothes, before phoning emergency services, but Ursu had burns on 50% of her body and could not survive.
