    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):
    docs_apple.jpg


    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 :confused:
    Great photo though!

    Certainly shook Hitlers world anyway.



    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 :o

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

    Another Olypmic one (if it hasn't been posted already) with the Black Panthers at the Mexico Olympics.

    Have absolutely no idea if the soldier above is dead or not.

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

    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.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,449 ✭✭✭Blisterman


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

    Israeli children sign their missiles ‘with love’

    A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer
