Influential pictures of our time

Mods please close this if it has been done.

The idea is to post ONE picture per poster of an important/iconic picture .This could spark some interesting discussion and maybe could be a chance to learn new things. This is not post random pictures!

Ill start

tiananmen square protest, apparently they ran the dude over

I don't think they ran him over, Im pretty sure they stopped and he started hitting them with his shopping.

/\ Not really our time though is it? Unless you're what 90?

Can you be more specific about what you mean by 'our time'?

JBuk · 4 Jul 2010 at 23:35

they fired on him @ point blank iirc

Biohazard · 4 Jul 2010 at 23:36

No one really knows what happened to him.

It was only '89 seek!

It was only 1989.

EDIT: Too slow.

Ah I see. Pic looks a bit more dated than that.

Anyway, that buddhist monk on fire was a similar thing but even more shocking.

He was dragged into the crowd, no one knows what actually happened to him in the end.

It's the only thing I can really remember what I was doing that day. Can remember walking home from school and my mum telling me.

I didn't know what the trade centre was but I sat and watched anyway. It's changed how a lot of things work these days aswell.
