A tragic accident in Tbilisi, Georgia, has sparked outrage after a Russian tourist, Arina Glazunova, unintentionally filmed her own fatal fall.
The 24-year-old was enjoying a night out, singing and dancing with a friend, when she tripped over a knee-high wall and fell into an underpass.
The video, which surfaced online, shows shaky footage before the camera stops, capturing the moment before her tragic fall.
Arina was rushed to the hospital but sadly died from severe head injuries and a broken neck. The design of the underpass, built during the Soviet era, has come under scrutiny, with many questioning the safety measures in place. Photos reveal that the wall did little to prevent her fall onto the concrete steps below.

Tbilisi's City Hall defended the structure, saying it met the safety standards of the time. However, city mayor Kakha Kaladze insists all underpasses now meet modern regulations. Despite this, the incident has led to calls for a reassessment of safety standards to prevent future tragedies.
