Photos That Shook The World (Contains graphic images, may cause distress)
Iconic pictures are more effective then any story. Sometimes you see photographs that just take your breath away. The following photos; some famous, some infamous, did exactly that to me on first viewing. They will live on, as a permanent reminder of the events which caused them.

Tienemen Square Protest:




9/11:



Mai Lai Massacre:



Soviet Flag Over Reichstag:



Vietnam Shooting:



Afghan Girl:



Saddam Hussein Captured:



Hindenberg:



Ali:



Rosa Parks:



Fake Bigfoot:



Marilyn Monroe:



Earthrise:



Feel free to add your own!

And that's not even including the "possible" moon landing as having a question mark.

Here's another one that caused heartache and confusion (documentary on TV a few months back).

It didn't exactly shake the world but still manages to amaze anyone I've shown it to.

The last two photos would be the only ones that are iconic but included five as it adds more context.

I am aware of the context and detail of both photos, it may even be why I labelled the Bigfoot one "Fake Bigfoot" don'tcha think?

As for the Vietnam one, it certainly meets the criteria of the thread as having shaken the world, regardless of the facts that emerged afterwards.
