You see a 1 minute clip right before they die. You have their real names (and any aliases), but that's all the info you have. You don't know their exact location, not even the country, nor their occupation, or whether they are a "good" or "bad" person. Their death is 99% guaranteed to happen unless you help them avert their death.

They will always be located at least 1/3 of the Earth's circumference away from you, so it means they will be guaranteed to not be within 13,333KM of your location at the moment you get the premonition.

What do you do with this knowledge? Try to save them? Or feel the guilt of their death forever, that you might've been able to prevent?
