Photos that Changed the World [Extremely Graphic]

Post by dom »

I was using stumble around, and I came across a page that had a bunch of photos that changed the world. I recognized some of them, like the tiananmen square guy, the hanging of Saddam Hussein, and the Napalm girl; but found new ones like segregated water fountains, amd starving boy and missionary.

A lot of them are graphic, dealing with people and children that are dead, dying, bleeding, cut, mutilated, etc. But all of them have some historical value and are all touching. It's not something there purely to disgust, and because of that I feel it warrants attention.

Please visit, but be aware of the graphic content:

I'd exclude that "first pic on the net" shot though...up till today I still find that to be a tad too dubious to believe. "Burial of an unknown child" projects the most powerful visual impact imo

Thats actually the only one that impressed me.

Most of these aren't world changing, most are just simply famous.

It's a shame not all of them have such detailed background stories as the others have.

Nice find.

i am not that superficial and i dont believe the dead deserves anything no matter who it was or what they did, all or nothing is better spent on the living.
