This story really gets to me everytime. It's no wonder they call dogs 'mans best friend'...

97 pages...and this is the one that has stayed with me the most. There is more humanity, love and tenderness in this picture than in so many of the others that have been posted.


I'm going to add to the thread as well:

The Assassination of William McKinley



McKinley arrives at the Temple of Music, shortly before being shot by Leon Czolgosz.
Sept. 6th, 1901.



The mortally wounded president lingered for a week, finally succumbing to blood poisoning on September 14.



Jurors pronounced Czolgosz guilty and sentenced him to death by electrocution on October 29, 1901.

Red Army soldier marches a German soldier into captivity at Stalingrad



Stalingrad was one of the bloodiest battles in the history of warfare. Many soliders froze to death or starved during the freezing Russian winter. His face tells it all.

Not sure if this was done yet, but this picture always stirs emotion in me:

There's something very heroic about this photo of that handsome, honourable, patriotic Irishman, detective Garda Jerry McCabe. He bravely sacrificed the only possesion that was truly his for the sake of us Irish people. Even in death he looks like a leader, ready, clean and upright. You will never be dead to Ireland Jerry, RIP

the reason I've always found this painting odd is its lack of eyebrows... found out later that experts xrayed the painting and apparently they are there but were painted over in restoration work

This is the largest true color photograph of the night sky ever created. It was shot by first time astro-photographer, Nick Risinger, a 28-year-old from Seattle. This is not just one view of the night sky but a 360-panorama composed from 37,000 individual photographs, taken by Risinger during his 60,000 mile trek across the western United States and South Africa.

Genuinely mindblowing, i see pics like that and I have no concept of how tiny we are or how the hell we're here.cant comprehend distance, the size of the universe, nothing.

Earth is the same as one of them tiny dots...and in all of them dots are we really the only place that could sustain some sort of life? has to be plants or something somewhere in all of that....

Not to be too pedantic, but each of those dots is far, far larger than Earth. Each is either a close star or a distant galaxy, with the exception of the local planets. Amongst the hundreds of trillions of stars with hundreds of billions of planets in the habitable zone, it would really be something if ours were the only one with talking hydrogen. As always, Carl Sagan says it best.

Demonstrators shout slogans and hold banners as they take part in May Day rally in downtown Lisbon on May 1, 2011. In Portugal, tens of thousands marched in protest at austerity measures expected to be imposed under the terms of a European Union and International Monetary Fund bailout plan. (Patricia De Melo Moriera/AFP/Getty Images)

May Day - set of 39 photos of various protest around the world
usually a day to commemorate workers and workers rights, usually marked with protests every year, just dosn't seem well recieved her but is prevelant in may country's. (also Note the few of protests where tens of thousands marched in Portugal against sanctions for the EU bailout.

A lot of the photo's here I have read of before/ seen on tv, Rwanda, Jonestown, Dunblane, etc. Though some of the pics I put up are mentioned before, I have not seen these particular photos.

IRA Bomb in Hyde Park 1982, I know there was humans killed, but when I saw these images as a child, they really shook me!






Miami Showband Massacre 1975. A UVF and UDR (army regiment) killing



Dublin and Monaghan bombings 1974. UVF and suspected British Army involvement.



The 4 O'Briens are a husband, wife and there toddler and infant!


Columbine Shooting 1999
This really is upsetting, not the image itself, though it is heartbreaking, but the story with the picture, the boy dead on the ground is Dan Rohrbough. His father ran around to every building being used to house students after the shooting. He could not find his son anywhere, the morning after the shooting, he opens the newspaper and sees this picture, this is how he finds out his son died! Left on the pavement like rubbish and without even a sheet over him during the night to stop him being exposed to the elements!



Now less depressing things

A lioness and a Oryx calf

I was reading about this phenomena recently. I think this lioness in particular in one of the Safari parks in SA. A lioness is not a particular good mother to calves - lions sleep most of the days, so some of the calf were dying of hunger. In a few cases the Oryx's mother succeeded in getting the calf back. It looks unusual/cool... but not really good for the calf :rolleyes::o

Some very interesting photos here, retro photos. They are no explanations given to any of the photos, I am posting just a few of them.

Does anyone know whose death this is related to - James Dean or the Monaco one... And then it might not be anyone famous.

I remember seeing the videos of one of those years ago, if I recall correctly. the scary part of the footage is that the brutal murder which took about 10 minutes to complete was all filmed about 8 feet from a motorway. The world would be a slightly better place if those animals were put to sleep imo.

by far the worst thing I have ever seen on the internet....worst then any beheading etc.

Cannot believe what they did, watched the video and lasted 35 seconds before I nearly puked....

Honest to god...the worst thing I ever seen.....I really wish I could unsee this

I think that might be a picture of Bikini atoll where the US did lots of nuclear bomb testing on derelict ships. All the native islanders had to move off the island later because of the radiation.

Again, not 100% sure but I think I remember reading that the actual story behind this was that the policeman is trying to hold the dog back and move the black guy away from the dog - but it looks more sinister in this picture.

Great pics
