Photos that Shook the World

according to one guy that posted them. Many duplicate, and so much missing. Some of those I have never evenn seen which means they were not plastered where everyone could see them to begin with, hence could not "shake the world".

some missing that shocked me that they were not there, concentration camp photos from WW2, footprints on the Moon, American troops arriving to liberate Paris, etc.

and somehow I find it hard to believe that pictures of Hussein being hung "shook" the world.

just my 2 cents

i have to agree with elphaba.

and while i agree that the pictures of the towers shook the world, 9 pictures?

and some of those pictures, i only knew what they were because i have an obsession with the paranormal, specifically cryptozoology, and with what i can only describe as "weird news". someone who never looked into those things or researched them might not recognized 1 or 2 of them.

and there were deffinatly pictures there that i didn't recognize, and i dont think it was because of my age, because i saw some very old pictures that i was familiar with.

Did we really need 9 pictures of the World Trade Center. There were many events missing from that list, and some had way too man duplicates.

Where the pictures from the fall of Saigon?

Excellent observations. Most definately agree with the missing photos you mentioned.

HB2: Definitely. Think "finite" and you'll never spell it wrong again.

Surprised there were none of the wall coming down (1989?). Civil War: Andersonville.
