Pictures. They tell a thousand words, don't they? I love photos, me.

Post your most memorable, moving, iconic images here. Try to include some names, places, dates, context for the unfamiliar (though you can go the mystery route if you really must).

I'll start. Not the most memorable I can think of, necessarily, but the first three that came to mind:

Van Cliburn playing Tchaikovsky's 1st and Rachmaninoff's 3rd piano concerti at the first quadrennial International Tchaikovsky piano competition in Moscow, at the height of the Cold War in 1958 (just after the launch of the Sputnik).

A Soviet was widely expected to win but the crowd began shouting, in Russian, 'First Prize! First Prize!' when Cliburn played. It has been described as music bringing East and West together as one, if only for a moment, during those mad and uncertain times.

Raising the Flag at Iwo Jima (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Iwo_Jima)


From what I remember, this image was a pure accident. I think one soldier was supposed to be putting the flag up and he was having trouble, so a bunch of them came to help.

I think. I remember watching an interview with one of the soldiers a few months ago.

genji should have posted that image.

An excellent and moving video of Cliburn playing during this time:

This one was uppermost in my mind because I've just watched Flags of our Fathers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flags_of_Our_Fathers_(film)). The photo is of the 2nd flag-raising. The first one wasn't photographed so this 2nd one was staged. The perception in the US was that the event marked a great victory. In fact, the flag was raised on day 5 of a 35-day battle, in which 3 of the original flag-raisers died.

US working MIRVS are no match to Russian SS-25 and Russian intercontinental ICBM MIRV arsenal. Because unlike American ICBM's, the Russian ICBM's emit electromagnetic frequency that halts any altering from the outside, also Russian ICBM's have 30 different warheads in them, so that all those warheads reach the destination using different algorithmic paths.

SO KABOOOM USA if it dares to use its nukes or anything else.

ROTFLMAO, do you even know what you are talking about? All you are really spouting is Russian Propaganda, my rocket is bigger than your rocket, and as for the SS-25:


The SS-25 ICBM

Used as a weapon, an SS-25 carries a single nuclear warhead atop a three stage rocket system, and is about the size of a U.S. Minuteman ICBM.

The problem would be finding the time to even use them.

SS-25 Sickle (RS-12 Topol)



Year Deployed: 1985
Dimensions: 21.5 meters length, 1.8 meters diameter
Weight: 45,100 kilograms
Propulsion: 3 stage solid-fuel plus PBV, cold launch
Throw-weight: 1,000 kilograms
Range: 10,500 kilometers
Guidance: Presumed inertial with onboard digital computers
Circular Error Probable: Estimated 200 meters
Warhead: Single warhead
Yield: 750 kilotons
Locations: Irkutsk - 36, Kansk - 46, Novosibirsk - 45, Yoshkar-Ola - 36, Nizhniy Tagil - 45, Yur'ya - 45, Teykovo - 36, Vypolzpvp - 9, Barnaul - 36, Drovyanaya - 18
Number Deployed: 360 missiles
Primary Contractor: Nadiradize Design Bureau

This small, fifth-generation ICBM is the latest Russian land-based missile. It can either be carried on an off-road, unhardened transporter-erector vehicle (TEL), or stationed in silos. There was some controversy surrounding the SS-25, which the Soviets claimed was an upgrade to the SS-13 Savage. The United States claimed the SS-25 was more than 5 percent larger than the SS-13, qualifying it as a new system, and therefore a violation of the SALT II Treaty.

The mobile component is by START I, which stipulates that in peace-time mobile missile garrisons are confined to groups of 10 missiles in a 25 square kilometer area. The SS-25 is accurate, and its one warhead has a comparatively large yield. This combination makes it the most credible hard-target kill ballistic missile of Russia's arsenal.

All currently deployed missiles, including those returned from Belarus, are mobile. An improved variant, the Topol-M (sometimes referred to as the SS-X-29), was first flight-tested on Dec. 20, 1994, with flight testing continuing thereafter. With components of its guidance system manufactured in Ukraine and other parts made in Belarus, the SS-25 program could fall victim to the breakup of the Soviet Union. The missile will likely fall entirely out of service by 2010.

yeah guys, I don't want to argue with you. Who is going to nuke who first. Ok.

I thought you were referencing the subject of the photos. My apologies.

My fault. I was a little vague.

You probably don't care, and it doesn't really matter to me if you do, but I just wanted you to be informed.
This is where you crossed the line with me.
This is the reason I'll not converse with you anymore.

That picture of the Jewish women waiting to be executed is horrific. So surreal. I found myself staring at it for several minutes, wondering about all the incredible circumstances of the moment. Standing naked, confused. It is just mind-boggling.

I mean, standing in line is bad enough anywhere, but having to do it for your execution? That is horrid. Where is that German industriousness? My Wal-Mart never gets that backed up. And why is that last woman in a hurry to get in line? And why do people try to shield themselves from evil with humor?

And why is that last woman in a hurry to get in line?

They will probably shoot her, beat her senseless, or unleash a vicious dog on her if she doesn't.

Or it is a matter of group psychology. Safety within the group. Although rationally there is none.

I agree. Being alone is a terrible thing. Especially when naked and scared.

The Cat Who Crossed The Border

http://www.theodoresworld.net/pics/0806/IDF_soldier_and_KittyImage2.jpg

"An unusual sight was seen a few days ago, with the exit of Paratrooper Brigade forces from Lebanon: one of the brigade reserve soldiers was carrying, along with all his heavy equipment and weapon, a white kitten. "On the way back to Israeli territory we passed through the village of Kauzer," said the soldier, "and all of a sudden I saw a kitten coming out of one of the houses. After a few seconds I realized it is wounded and that its hearing has been hurt. I picked it up and carried it for six kilometers, until we reached Israeli territory. I decided it deserves a better future. After all, it is not its fault that war broke out." The first thing the cat and its new owner did after having crossed the border into Israeli territory was to share IDF military canned meat. The cat was named Kauzer by its new owner."

Charlie Manson: Born November 12, 1934 (1934-11-12)

One of the most chilling crimes of the century took place in Los Angeles at the end of the decade when Charles Manson, 35, and a band of middle-class followers broke into the home of filmmaker Roman Polanski and savagely murdered his pregnant wife, Sharon Tate, and four guests.

They acomplished NOTHING for aviation.
The "flying machine" they shouted to the world in 1908 that they had built in 1903 couldn't sustain itself in the air by its own means. It can't even be called a glider, and gliders had already been built much earlier, since 1799.
Their monstruous engine weighed over 100 kg and generated less than 11 HP, it wasn't strong enough to push it and kept it from gliding. Their first public attempt to fly in 1904 failed miserably. Only in 1908, AFTER THEY COPIED SANTOS DUMONT'S SOLUTIONS and other aeronauts, and sent for a new more powerful engine from France, their piece of shit thing flew, THROWN BY A CATAPULT.

and that is why Wright Brothers are cited by AIAA as the first inventors of the airplane....



Much of the controversy about Santos-Dumont and the Wrights arose from the difference in their approaches to publicity. Santos-Dumont made his flights in public, often accompanied by the scientific elite of the time, then gathered in Paris. In contrast, the Wright Brothers were very concerned about protecting what they considered their trade secrets for patentability and made their early flights in remote locations, without many international aviation officials present. The defence of their flight was also complicated by the jealousies of other American aviation enthusiasts and disputes over patents. In November 1905, the Aero Club of France learned of the Wrights' reported flight of 24 miles (39 km). They sent a correspondent to investigate the Wrights' accounts. In January 1906, members of the Aero Club of France's meeting were stunned by the reports of the Wrights' flights. Archdeacon sent a taunting letter to the Wrights, demanding that they come to France and prove themselves, but the Wrights did not respond. Thus, the aviation world (of which Paris was the centre at the time) witnessed the products of Santos-Dumont's work first hand. As a result, many members, French and other Europeans, dismissed the Wrights as frauds (like many others at the time) and assigned Santos-Dumont the accolade of the "first to fly".
