Not sure about others, but seeing iconic images really does make me stop and think for a while. While some images won’t be suitable to post on here, others are. Start off with these two.
This is just scary. Look at the size of the tsunami! Imagine being in one of those cars seeing the waves tower over you. Terrifying sight.
Marc Vivien Foe collapses on the pitch in a football tournament. Was pronounced dead before arrival at hospital. RIP.

Well, I wanted to add something, but actually most of the pictures I consider “iconic” have been already posted. My personal choice would be:
– naked girl running out after the American napalm bombing
– the guy in front of the tank on the Tinanmen place
– breaking The Wall (but that one is probably less objective, as I’m Polish)

Two thing’s I consider iconic are,
Pictures showing B52’s carpet Bombing the jungle in vietnam.
Pictures on the net showing the explosive difference of the Atom Bomb, and H Bomb, Very scary …. 😮

If you want to really go into some past and look at some of the things that took place then i recomend buying the 112 years of national geographic , it has awsome images and actual magazine detailed in toto , great stuff to sit and enjoy when free .
here are some images i consider iconic –
(more recent and can be interpretated by both sides as leading to something good or leading to something bad and there is a good case to be made for both sides )
AGAIN some might not be ionic in some people’s eyes but i feel that majority of them really deserve their place .

I was in Auschwitz-Birkenau on monday. A hell on earth, a very scary place.
America’s Finest Hour.
Agree with both, especially having been to Aushwitz myself.

No doubt. That certainly strikes as a scary image.

Other than the “control tower”, this is a picture I took of another (in)famous place from there:
“Arbeit Macht Frei”.

Nice one Holty!
For me it’s the Christine Keeler photo.
(sitting on a chair, Knees apart :diablo: )
Or indeed any photo by Bob Carlos Clarke, who for me is an iconic figure.

Iconic to Liverpool fans. Hillsborough tragedy, Liverpool mourns.

For me it is shots of the concentration camps after liberation.

Bloody horific,if you ask me!
Im afraid war is for both sides,but in my humble opinion, photographs from Vietnam seem to me to have the largest anti war statements in them than any other conflict ive seen documented.
