re: Another Historical Photos Thread

Nope, disappeared into the snow.


In 1972, while he was still Majority Leader, the twin engine airplane in which Boggs was traveling disappeared over a remote section of Alaska. The airplane presumably crashed and was never found. Congressman Nick Begich, of Alaska, was also presumed killed in the same accident.

Hitler was evil. The Third Reich was evil. When looking at pictures of the soldiers in the German army you can't help but wonder how many of them were actually evil or were pawns of an evil government who did not understand what was going on. Hollywood always makes it appear as if armies are made up of mostly grizzled, older men. When you look at pictures you realize most were just scared, dumb, kids.

That picture is from 1961. It has nothing to do with Hitler or the Third Reich. History, learn it.

New Orleans On September 4, 2005, nearly a week after New Orleans’ flood defences failed under the impact of Hurricane Katrina, much of the city remained underwater and deserted. To add insult to injury, fires continued to burn as a result of gas leaks, fallen power lines and in some cases, arson.

2000, Russia"The picture was taken in the Altai territory of Russia, right in the border regions of Kazakhstan. It shows the second stage of a Soyuz rocket in the crash zone where they come down to earth. You can see them fall during the day, and usually hear the big bang as they hit the ground.
These things are made out of pretty good metal too, so a lot of the locals make a living chasing rocket parts, before selling them as scrap. If you look very carefully, you can see that the white things all around them are butterflies or moths." Jonas Bendiksen is a Norwegian photographer based in New York.

1986, Washington Perhaps mindful that, to most people, his acting career boiled down to the comedy, Bedtime for Bonzo, in 1985 Ronald Reagan picked up a snowball and reminded everyone of his role as legendary Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Grover Cleveland Alexander in the 1952 bio-flick, The Winning Team.

Maasai warriors clash with members of the Kalenjin tribe using bows and arrows, in western Kenya in March (2008 or 09). Old rivalries resurfaced between the tribes in the aftermath of Kenya's disputed general elections, held the previous December. Unlike the rioting in the rest of the country, conflicts were strictly codified according to age-old traditions. Archers fired salvos at each other in daily contests, seldom engaging in close combat.
