UNC senior Zoe Roth’s face is synonymous with disasters, all because of a picture her dad took when she was almost five years old. The picture — which features Roth standing and smiling in front of a burning house — has circulated the internet for years in different forms. From Roth's perspective, it’s just a picture from a controlled practice fire. (Daily Tar Heel)
