Getting closer now




At the scene








The final exposure of Bill Biggarts life


This amazing photo was tooken the split second the first building collapsed. Bill biggart died in it and these photos were recovered from a digital camera.



All that remained of his photographic gear.

R.I.P.

This is Hans Conrad Schumann he was a soldier in the East German Bereitschaftspolizei.



As the wikipedia article goes; "On 15 August 1961 he found himself, aged 19, guarding the Berlin Wall,then in its third day of construction, at the corner of Ruppiner Straße and Bernauer Straße. At that stage of construction, the Berlin Wall was only a low barbed wire fence. As the people on the Western side shouted Komm rüber! ("come over"), Schumann jumped the barbed wire and was driven away at high speeds by a waiting West Berlin police car. Photographer Peter Leibing captured a photograph of his escape on film."

Now I don't know if this shook the world but it's worth having in here anyway.

Yes but no one really even gave a shudder outside of ireland and maybe the U.K.

To people in canada for example a bombing in dublin would be like us hearing about a bomb over in mexico or something. We look at it with interest but it doesn't really affect us greatly.

Are you for real?You post a photograph of a dead pop-singer who has had no major humanitarian impact on the world in any way and then a few posts later you try to say that the Dublin and Monaghan bombings were pretty much ignored outside Ireland and England?

A picture of Michael Jackson, alive, dead or dieing, has nor ever will shake the world.He's dead, get over it.

Some really amazing and iconic images there! Whoops, after 25 (and counting) pages of them, there goes a Sunday afternoon well and truly laid to rest.
