i was at a party in LA a couple years back, idk if it was drunk talk or dude was just flat out lying but he told me his good buddy or good buddy's buddy had taken this photo. a soldier saw the guy take the picture on the balcony of the hotel and then minutes later the building was swarmed by soldiers. they got to the guys room and beat him but did not find the camera. he hid the camera in the toilet tank. sounds like a cool story, hope it's true 

no the story is true but not the camera but the undeveloped film of it was hidden in the tank. when they later searched through the room they found nothing. also when the maids went through to clean they got nothing. later when the journalist went back to find it, it was still there. he swears that the only thing that could've ruined a historic picture of a historic moment was a simple toilet flush which no one ever did

?
what is the picture of? where is it from? wich war?

It was in China in 1989. A high leader in China just passed away that everyone loved. so thousands of University students go to Tiananmen Square in central Beijing to mourn for him and continue to argue his beliefs in to change the Chinese's economic and political system for the better, a more free market and since China was communist since the 50's that was a no-no. at first the protests was normal but they continued to grow and then weeks later the communist leaders got fed up with this so they gave martial law and they sent in the military to kill thousands of students and citizens who didn't want to leave the square. the military were told to clear central Beijing by force if they had to.

The picture is taken the next day of the riots/protests when tanks are patrolling the area and a guy carrying 2 shopping bags just simply stops in front of the tanks to show they want them to be kicked out. nobody wants to see tanks going through their city. the guy has never been identified so he's been simply known as Tank Man since then. oh and like any other world event happening there's reporters and I think the guy was from CBS who took the shot.

The Government called their actions of the massacre as a "counterrevolutionary riot" to defend something that was bound to turn bad for the sake of the nation. and now China, which is still "communist" to this day practically rewrote their own history so that this event never happened by not having the history books mention this and the best example is if you type in Tiananmen Square into our google you'll get probably riot pictures and Tank man, if you type in Tianamen Square into China's google you'll get happy faces of people in the square, and other typical tourist pretty picture crap as if you typed in Rome or Paris. To stop the kids from learning about what their parents fought for they'll just keep the kids ignorant. They don't call it the Great "Firewall" of China for nothing.

and the importance of the picture if you ask me, is that it symbolizes the common man vs. the government, the "man", communism, 1%ers whatever you want. and like all men with power they only want one thing, more power. this guys has groceries and you got tanks against him! the real scared people are the ones with the power sitting on top, they don't deserve it. especially in communism and more so today's world

Dope pictures...

I wonder what pictures from our generation will be posted in a "cool pics thread" 50 - 100 years from now.

 

[MetalMario]

with instagram I doubt the idea of "cool" pictures will be out the window. only ones I can think of are just historical pictures that'll come up now during our time. HD historical pictures if I might add
