Photos That Shook The World (Contains graphic images, may cause distress)

Feeky Magee

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:

Hindenberg:

Ali:

Rosa Parks:

Fake Bigfoot:

Marilyn Monroe:

Earthrise:

Although many photos posted so far have no doubt shocked and even changed the world, the sad fact is that the events surrounding this photo were probably spoken about more that any of the others ..

I think these photos are hard to look at. Although I have had friends and loved ones die from cancer, it is still shocking to see what it does to people.

First Stop Action Photography photo (I think):

I would have expected a smaller entry point rather than the size it produced but then I'm no ballistics expert. Wonder is it due to the apples insides just bursting out through the hole that was made for them

Great photo though!

Ah he was only trying to tap the winner on the shoulder to congratulate him...

As a matter of interest one of the officials looks like he's also saluting that way.

Very clever idea for a thread OP and many amazing photos some more earth shaking than others but many memorable for one reason or another.

I'd have a heart attack, then plummet.

Knowing my luck, if I was in the first pic when they were having their lunch I'd be stuck with the cheese sandwhich and then in the second pic when they are all having their nap, that cheese sandwhich would give me a frickin nightmare, that would cause be to jump up and fall to my death, most likely taking everybody with me

I'm guessing that the picture was taken at the 1936 Olympic Games, which were held in Nazi Germany.

Have a look at the previous page if you're talking about the U.S soldier being dragged through the streets. He was dead.

Oklahoma bombing. I will always remember seeing this picture on the front of The Star in my local shop the day after the bombing.

A picture like that haunted me for ages after seeing it, a Russian special forces officer carries an alive child from the disastrous siege in Beslan:

I found it utterly harrowing.

What a contrast. Censorship in huge effect there.

I was in China last year, and I actually tried it on google.ie, and even that's censored there, with the same results.
