Re: Great Capture
On July 22, 1975, photograph Stanley J. Forman working for the Boston Herald American newspaper when a police scanner picked up an emergency: “Fire on Marlborough Street!” Climbed on a the fire truck, Forman shot the picture of a young woman, Diana Bryant, and a very young girl, Tiare Jones when they fell helplessly. Diana Bryant was pronounced dead at the scene. The young girl lived. Despite a heroic effort, the fireman who tried to grab them had been just seconds away from saving the lives of both. |

Re: Great Capture
I'm sick but....for some reason when I see pics of people in suspended animation it cracks me the hell up.  I don't know why seeing people fall through the air, or objects fall from the sky is so funny to me but it is. |

Re: Great Capture
Same here. In my youth (in my youth-who the hell says shit like that) I lived near a train trestle that went over a harbor of Lake Michigan. We spent a LOT of time throwing things off that trestle. A lot of time putting shit on the tracks, too. Near the harbor was a marine basin and a lot of VERY rich had their boats there. They were actually real kind to us kids, I went out on some nice, nice boats. It was still more fun to throw objects off the trestle, though!! |

Re: Great Capture
Once again, the capture of the fleeing moment before injury or death becomes more heart-felt than the grusome lifeless bodies. Maybe because there is nothing seperating them -and us.

Re: Great Capture
I think it's also because we can't help but wonder what they are thinking in those last moments, when they truly know that they are about to die...

Re: Great Capture
Mostly, it's the look on their faces that makes me laugh. When I see that it seems like they're probably saying.... Ooooooooh Shiiiiittttttt!!! |
