In another thread a picture was posted of 9/11 and hoodratz said that there were few pictures as powerful as that of the World Trade Centers. That got me thinking as to what the most instantly recognizable or powerful pictures throughout history were. I'll start with a couple and ppl can post up whatever they think of.

Sorry if this is a repost I SB'd and couldn't find anything

Def not this . He failed to understand powerful pics. There is nothing moving in that pic, it's just a cool pic.

Ah, we have one of those too. No guards, though, kind of redundant I think.

Yeah, about that... tombs of American soldiers were not exactly a part of my curriculum. We focused more on the power struggle and national relations aspects of wars. I might actually be older than you as well, Mr. "-87". It's not like the Arlington tomb was the first one erected anyway.

Just because you weren't taught something in school doesn't mean you shouldn't have some idea of it. Probably was in there somewhere. Take a trip down there sometime

There's general knowledge, and then there is trivia. Depending on where you are from might weigh in the difference between the two, no?

From the construction of Rockefeller Center. A lot of student apartments here with this poster framed as they sell it for a couple of euros in Ikea...

taking a few classes on the holocaust/mass murder and genocide in general. Such really insane stuff. Bit hard to be optimistic when i spend 8 class hours a week, plus at least another 4 reading hours doing nothing but reading about humans killing tremendous numbers of each other.
