"I took this picture during the opening day of the 2015 #SanFermin Festival in #Pamplona, Spain. I was covering the #Chupinazo ⎯ the loud bang which marks the start of the festival. My position was on a second floor balcony, just in front of the city hall, overlooking the packed square. About two minutes before the fireworks were set to go off, I noticed that the massive crowd beneath my position was swaying and some of the people were struggling to stand up. It was at that moment when I saw a girl who looked like she was trying to breathe, staring straight up to the sky. Two weeks after the festival, she managed to contact me, at which point I learned that her name was Nazarena Arguello and she was from the United States. She told me that 15 minutes after this picture was taken, she had fainted and was carried out of the square, where she recovered until she was ready to keep enjoying the festivities." | July 6, 2015 | 📷: davidramosgetty | #GettyImagesNews
