I remember listening to that game on the radio. First time I’ve seen that photo.

Oh, it's happened, alright. I just don't want to pollute FR by posting it here.

I can’t believe they don’t include Jack Ruby shooting Lee Harvey Oswald. It’s an amazing photograph-—it wasn’t a posed shot and it captures something totally unexpected.

A lot of these photos, especially the tsunami/tornado and pet ones, are local events. Someone that I don’t know crying over a destroyed house doesn’t get a reaction from me.

And the first photo of the 3 women in the same poses—what’s so special about that one? I don’t know these people or what their story is.

This one has always struck me as the photo that epitomizes the saying, "A picture is worth a thousand words". The fall of France:

That’s one famous pic that was included in the ‘40 Most Powerful Photographs’ article.
