Most influential and moving pictures of all time...

fvaambush · #1 12-19-2007, 04:42 AM

Just wanted to post some pictures of events throughout our history that are extremely powerful and moving to me.

Everyones welcome to contribute, so go ahead and open up your documents and start looking Embarrassment

I'll start with some of mine:

I honestly dont think words can begin to describe this

Buddhist monk who set himself on fire in protest of anti-buddhist policies, October 5th 1963

You've all seen it before

Hindenburg

Tsunami flood in 2005

Space shuttle Columbia disaster

Nagasaki

And how could you forget?

And finally, these are two pictures that I found on another forum, that gave me the inspiration to make this thread.

The kid who posted them said this:

"Right so these are two pictures that choke me up whenever I see them.

This is my friend Steve, saying bye to his brother, who's off to Iraq.

And this is my same friend months later, at his brother's funeral. Saying bye for the last time.

These pictures probrably won't have the same effect on you guys that they do on me, but they are still very powerful."

The whole thing just choked me up... Frown

Anyway, obviously I've only scratched the surface, show me what you have Embarrassment

.

I'll be posting more later

Man that is so sad. I just got goosebumps.

Holy Shit, this is more than what I signed up for when I came in. I gotta say though, those last two are deep. But I just feel like its not right that your posting them on the internet. I don't know, maybe it's just me.

I personally asked him if it was ok. Thanks for the concern though...

And I couldn't help it, I'm posting more in a bit here

Some more pictures

Katrina

Separation wall being built in Palestine, Bansky art

Columbine..

French and American testing of A-bombs in Mid-Pacific I'm pretty sure

Martin Luther King

John F. Kennedy, a picture taken sometime during the Cuban Missle Crisis I'm pretty sure. I thought it truly showed the stress he was under during his presidency, and how lonely the job can be.

A black man that was lynched by the KKK...

More of 9/11

Separation between whites and blacks

Not sure where or when it was taken, but it's a very interesting picture

Stalingrad

More of the Tsunami

Not sure of the origin of this picture either, looks like a destroyer under attack

WWI

Vietnam..?

A very cool picture

A lady crying as she is forced to hail Hitler

And JollyRoger I thought you might find this interesting

Thats all for now... I'm out, gonna try and get some sleep wave

Yeah I was just looking at that... is that saying Irish can't apply or can..? Damn I'm tired...

pbmike15 · #13 12-19-2007, 05:34 AM

Meaning there's no use applying because they won't be hired.

fvaambush · #14 12-19-2007, 05:40 AM

Gotchya. Irish weren't looked at as truley "white" I guess... Oh well, I'm out for the night... seriously.. Stick Out Tongue
