+Karma for a good post.
I really don't know much about the whole Elian Gonzalez affair at all, but I just remember this photo being one that was everywhere when I was younger, one of the very few photos that has stayed in my head pretty vividly throughout the years.

Dude this hasnt been confirmed but I heard that those photos of the vietnam guy getting executed are always misinterpreted in the media. That guy had raped and killed multiple innocent women and children, and they decided to kill him on the street, however got a photo and people assumed he was a civilian. Anyone else here this?

I live in nyc and saw that shit too, my friends dad works in an office right next to the world trade center and we were downtown when it happened, he saw everything. Obviously the planes took it down. The theories are stupid as fuck and they have been disproven over and over again.

I got you. Definitely a worthy picture.
To the bomb or plane question it was a plane but what always will be weird to me is a 3rd building did fall that day and no one out side of ny know about it also there were pipe bombs found under the bridge and 4 white people were arrested. Those 2 things were kept out of the news.

he did kill himself
heres the death note
"I am depressed ... without phone ... money for rent ... money for child support ... money for debts ... money!!! ... I am haunted by the vivid memories of killings and corpses and anger and pain ... of starving or wounded children, of trigger-happy madmen, often police, of killer executioners ... I have gone to join Ken, if I am that lucky"
ken was his colleague, and they were both a part of "the bang bang club"

this one is fake, it got a lot of buzz and turned out to just be some 2 guys posing for like a realy well known photographer. plus who just randomly takes what is probably a 1500 $ camera to a canadian riot?

He was part of the "bang bang club". Some of there pictures are pretty gruesome. Like of people being hacked to death and being burned alive. There's a movie about them which is pretty good too. And in terms of Kev Carter, i can almost understand why he committed suicide. I searched his images and they are gruesome. There were one's i actually looked away at because they were just too much. I couldn't imagine actually being there and seeing these things let alone having to take photos of them.

I lol'd at this: "Australian Scott Jones kisses his Canadian girlfriend Alex Thomas after she was knocked to the ground by a police officer's riot shield in Vancouver, British Columbia. Canadians rioted after the Vancouver Canucks lost the Stanley Cup to the Boston Bruins."
All the other pictures are powerful and about some serious shit and this one is about a fuckin hockey game. Only in Canada ahaha.

FUCK THIS ONE.
Even if it was not fake this 100% does not belong here. All of these pictures stir emotions within me, some of them sad and some of them can not be explained. This photo does nothing except enrage me because i cant believe that people are so trivial that they start a riot over the loss of a sports game. Other pictures are depicting emotions during some of the worlds most trying times and this picture is not even in the same ballpark. Sorry for the rant and the girl has a a great booty.

i see. well i was just curious, i've never spoken to anyone who had experienced anything about the 9/11 attacks, so i just thought i should use this occasion to do so.
I also thought all the conspiracy theories were total crap, but some footage on youtube got me.. curious, that is all. Ill try to dig it up:
(will dig up)

Not saying that photo's aren't powerful but there is nothing like actually being there. I mean I've been going to the 9/11 memorial almost every year since 2001 (for my dads best friend who was like a second father to me, he had gotten divorced and we were his family) and i'll never forget before there was a memorial, there was nothing as movingl as going down to the actual remains of the tower and tossing flowers into the base (which was always filled with water and had wood around it that people would write on) I mean it honestly made me cry EVERY TIME, even when I told myself " I'm not gonna cry".
