Disaster Girl

Four-year-old Zoë Roth smirks at the camera while a house burns behind her in Mebane, North Carolina, in 2005 (some accounts say 2004). Nothing sinister happened: the fire was a planned training burn by the local fire department, and her father, an amateur photographer, took the shot. It won a photo contest in 2008 and soon had her pasted into every disaster in history. In April 2021 Roth sold the original as an NFT for 180 Ether, then worth roughly half a million dollars.
