It's a heartbreaking story that has left many shocked and saddened. Recent reports have revealed the tragic death of 53-year-old Olga Perminova, a tourist on a famous railway line in Sri Lanka. It's believed that she was attempting to take a selfie while hanging out of the train when she hit a rock and fell off, causing horrific injuries to her head.

Photos taken just moments before the accident show Olga posing confidently in a pink dress, completely unaware of the tragedy that was about to occur. She was travelling on the Podi Menike train, a popular choice for tourists due to its breathtaking views of tea plantations, forests, mountains, and picturesque landscapes.

According to local reports, Olga was hanging from the footboard of the train between the Badulla and Hali Ela railway stations when she fell. Despite receiving emergency treatment, she tragically succumbed to her injuries. It's a heartbreaking reminder of the dangers of taking unnecessary risks for the sake of a photo.

The train was en route to Ella, a town known for its famous Nine Arches Bridge. This railway line is often referred to as one of the world's greatest rail experiences, making the news of Olga's death even more devastating. She was part of a Russian tour group, and her untimely death has left her loved ones and fellow travelers in shock.

Olga was a security company employee from the Moscow region, originally from Saratov. The Russian embassy is currently handling the arrangements for repatriating her body, a heartbreaking task made even more difficult by the circumstances surrounding her death. It serves as a reminder to always prioritize safety over capturing the perfect photo.
