Well, it says in the description: "Clearly this photo didn’t change the world but I decided to accept it because its such an amazing shot."

I absolutely agree.

The guy running that site would do himself a favour by eliminating the forum component. The pictures speak for themselves.

A couple of those pictures were staged or misrepresent the truth. Any open forum is going to have goofs but, it is better than just letting the pictures and official story do the talking.

The Napalm girl is now a Canadian living in Ontario.

That lunchtime atop a skyscraper is probably staged but it shows how comfortable Ironworkers can be on the iron. The picture is probably in every I/W union hall across NA. Years ago I ate my lunch sitting on a beam because it was just to much work to slide down the columns and than climb back up 14 or whatever many floors again. If I was lucky I could ride the ball on the crane up but that's all outside the rules today. Nowadays there are lifts and ladders everywhere.

Your right, my cousin worked her case after she defected to Canada with her husband from Cuba I believe in the early 90's. apparently she is quite an amazing woman. I can't remember her full name but Kim comes to mind.

Every year she still phones my cousin on his birthday and offers him dinner and wishes him a happy.

I liked some of the posts, they provided excellent insight and additional information that wasnt originally in the description. I just think that if the guy is gonna have that, then make sure its a subscribed comments section, and ban the turds that make ridiculous and bigotted comments, like "i'd hit that!" when talking about the napalm girl. made me want to punch my computer screen...

The JFK assassination seems to have been overlooked.


As well as the Wounded Knee Massacre.
The frozen body of Chief Big Foot (December, 1890) and Mass Grave of 300 Native American Men, Woman and Children.
