Jeremiah Duggan's body on the Berliner Straße
Not sure if this "shook the world" because i didn't hear about it until seeing a really, really good documentary on channel 4 a while back, but it should of if not.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Jeremiah_Duggan
contains the story, some strange goings on in this 'LaRouche movement'.
His mother is still to this day trying to get the case opened, as the documentary showed German law is different to UK law (she lives in the UK); If I remember correctly it's because if a case is ruled as suicide in Germany and no other party is classed as being 'directly involved' the case is shut and not looked at. If in the UK it would be opened and the organisation may be seen as Inciting terror (I think that was the term) and could be charged.
I found it pretty fascinating anyway, such a pity on all counts

An absolute tragedy. It's scary just how quick it took hold. God bless everyone that lost their lives.

The emotion in John Motson's voice sums it up.

An end of an era
Babe Ruth's final public apperance waving goodbye to the Yankee fans, on the 25th anniversary of Yankee Stadium (the House that Ruth built) and having his no3 jersey retired. Ruth died 2 months later.I'm moved each time I see it because it has great feeling--a man returning to the scene of his greatest successes, saying goodbye for the final time. The way triumph and sadness, pride and humility are one in this photograph give it a meaning that goes far beyond the story it tells as a newspaper illustration.
