It's so much more powerful if you watch all three videos at the same time.

I didn't ask...

But for real, I've seen this before and they are indeed very powerful images. You can never watch these kinds of videos too many times.

Wow. Those were incredible. That photo of the Earth from space is probably one of my favourite images ever.

Honestly I think the video was pretty poorly made.

As everyone said, there was no way you could read the words and get a good look at the photo at the same time.

Then you have a guy talking in the background to top it off. I couldn't even pay attention to him.

Then a random picture of the moon at the end?


...meh.

Great photos, but whoever designed that video was a fucking idiot. Like others have said you couldn't read any of the captions in time. And the most annoying thing was even when u paused it the Youtube console thing popped up.

I muted it anyway cause I'm listening to music.


But it's nice to not have an op scroll bomb in a thread for once. I think so at least

People do things they never thought they would. Stay firm to your values or you might end up killing yourself.

these are pretty powerful too, 141 images all from the Vietnam War. Some of them gets me everytime, some of them looks just like frames from some war movie.. its crazy to think they are actual shots from the war.
