This didn't shake the world, but it certainly changed a lot in this country- I will never ever forget this day. I think it showed Ireland in a different light to the world- not just because of the political tones, but also that such a small country could create such an amazing sprts grounds.
It remains a touchy subject for many people- but my family has been involved with the GAA for all my life & I just cried with pride this day. I was so nervous that something would go wrong, but it didn't. It was such a fantastic day. I actually have tears in my eyes even thinking about it now. I know it's nowhere near as jaw-dropping or as historically significant as most of the other posts here, but it was still an unbelievable event.
By the way, as has been said before- AMAZING thread. Been going through what I thought was a lot of crap lately, and have now decided that I actually have no idea what it is to suffer
I gotta admit, i think that this was one of Irelands proudest days and i do admit i cried watching this on the day. It was just fantastic to forget about troubles and watch something amazing happen in our lives. I would put it on par with Obama's inaugural speech.0 -

Photo of the remnants of two billion years old nuclear reactors which were found in Africa.
more info:A natural nuclear fission reactor is a uranium deposit where analysis of isotope ratios has shown that self-sustaining nuclear chain reactions have occurred. The existence of this phenomenon was discovered in 1972 at Oklo in Gabon, Africa by French physicist Francis Perrin. The conditions under which a natural nuclear reactor could exist had been predicted in 1956 by Paul Kuroda.[1] The conditions found were very similar to what was predicted.
Oklo is the only known location for this in the world and consists of sixteen sites at which self-sustaining nuclear fission reactions took place approximately 2 billion years ago, and ran for a few hundred thousand years, averaging 100 kW of energy output during that time0 -

Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571, also known as the Andes flight disaster, and in South America as Miracle in the Andes (El Milagro de los Andes) was a chartered flight carrying 45 people, including a rugby team and their friends and family and associates that crashed in the Andes on October 13, 1972. The last of the 16 survivors were rescued on December 23, 1972. More than a quarter of the passengers died in the crash, and several more quickly succumbed to cold and injury. Of the twenty-nine who were alive a few days after the accident, another eight were killed by an avalanche that swept over their shelter in the wreckage.
The group survived by collectively making a decision to eat flesh from the bodies of their dead comrades. This decision was not taken lightly, as most were classmates or close friends

about that picture, with the many variations
http://www.codoh.com/incon/daspiktur.html
war crimes were commited by all sides (majority by the axis powers, japan and germany. also Russia), but rules and war dont exactly go together well sadly, and this can be seen throughout history.
google "Shocking Footage of Czech Mass Murder of German Civilians"
Back on Topic
a recent controversy
NSFW- shrapnel wounds from an IED on a boys face/chest
"During a U.S. Army Task Force Shadow helicopter rescue mission, a boy with shrapnel wounds on his face and body from an IED explosion is rushed to a field hospital, airborne over southern Afghanistan, Sunday, Sept. 5, 2010. The explosive, which also tore off both an Afghan man's legs, was planted to kill or maim Marines and Afghan soldiers on foot, who responded and applied first aid, and called in the rescue unit from the 101st Airborne's TF Destiny."

I don't know if this can be considered as something that shock the world or anything. I can't remember seeing this on the news/hearing about it.
Its a interesting read, but it is very disturbing. Some people are just sick. Make sure to read the bit about them attending the funerals. Makes me sick.

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.0 -
