On April 22, 2014, Xenia Ignatyeva, a 17-year-old girl, took a selfie from a bridge 28 feet off the ground to impress her friends. Ignatyeva went to the bridge in Krasnogvardeysky to take a photograph of herself at night with the railway line in the background to give "the most dramatic effect". She went with her friend but was taking the selfie herself so she went up there on her own. Her friend, Oksana Zhankova, also 17, waited below.
Ignatyeva lost her balance and as she fell from the bridge in Saint Petersburg grabbed a high voltage cable, in an effort to save herself, and was tragically electrocuted in the process.
