I will always remember the WTC jumper images. Seriously, they are burned into my eyes.
Wait, what's going on?
THIS WON'T DIE.

A sick and scared Kenyan infant. Humanity will long remember this suffering as a stain upon our history. This is one of many photos from that region which shook the world.

Was he president when that photo was taken? If so, awesome. If not, then to me it loses a little badass-ry to it

No, I think he was campaigning in this photo.

Dont know if it shook the world but it's a pretty striking image.

Jesus christ, that image scared me.
This is not about `Photos that shook the World`, but it's still beautiful and moving as anything else on the thread. It's a short film about a man explaining his hobby, which is collecting old photographs of people. It's totally worth sharing and would be a nice way to end the thread.

I think that this is an excellent way to send of the thread.
I found that this thread was most intriguing and will miss you all.

Kind of sad if it does, because I enjoy coming on and looking at the new pictures posted.
But the thread will either die, or people will end up posting completely unrelated stuff, I'd rather it die.
If so we still have a nice archive of images.

oldest surviving film
Seeing old footage like that and the one of the guy getting his shoes polished give me a weird feeling. An entirely different time time period I only usually see drawings and paintings of, or a recreation in a movie.
Shocking pictures are coming up all the time, so it's not really the end of the thread.
I mean isn't it just a matter of time 'till postal posts his ass again?

"March 19, 1945: The USS Santa Fe lies alongside the heavily listing USS Franklin to provide assistance after the aircraft carrier had been hit and set afire by a single Japanese dive bomber, during the Okinawa invasion off the coast of Honshu, Japan."

March 1945: Japanese night raiders are greeted with a lacework of antiaircraft fire by the U.S. Marine defenders of Yontan airfield, on Okinawa during World War II. In the foreground are Marine Corsair fighter planes of the "Hells Belles" squadron standing silhouetted against the sky.

April 1945: White markers designate the final resting place for hundreds of Third and Fourth Marine Division fighters, who died during the invasion of Iwo Jima in World War II, in this cemetery located near the beach where the U.S. Marines first established a beachhead. In the background, an American flag flies at half staff in tribute to the late President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who died in Warm Springs, Ga., on April 12

March 16, 1945: A U.S. Marine approaches a Japanese soldier on Iwo Jima, Japan during World War II. The Japanese soldier was buried for 1 1/2 days in this shell hole playing dead and ready with a live grenade inches away from his hand. The Marines feared he might be further booby trapped underneath his body after knocking the grenade to the bottom of the shell hole. Promising no resistance, the prisoner is given a cigarette he asked for and was dragged free from the hole.

Douglas MacArthur, center, is accompanied by his officers and Sergio Osmena, president of the Philippines in exile, extreme left, as he wades ashore during landing operations at Leyte, Philippines, after U.S. forces recaptured the beach of the Japanese-occupied island. To his left is Lt. Gen. Richard K. Sutherland, his chief of staff."
