The Death of Adela Legarreta Rivas & The Story Behind It
Adela Legarreta Rivas, a Mexican journalist, tragically died in a car accident on April 29, 1979, in Mexico City. The circumstances of her death became infamous due to the photographs taken by photojournalist Enrique Metinides. Adela Legarreta Rivas was on her way to a television studio in Mexico City when the taxi she was traveling in was hit by a white Datsun. The impact of the collision was fatal for Legarreta Rivas. At the scene, Enrique Metinides captured a striking and unsettling photograph of her. In the photograph, Legarreta Rivas is seen impeccably dressed, seated and looking composed, almost as if she were alive. This eerie serenity, juxtaposed with the chaos of the accident scene, made the photograph haunting and surreal. The photograph gained widespread attention and sparked debate and controversy. It raised ethical questions about the nature of photojournalism and the depiction of death and tragedy in the media. For some, the image was seen as a poignant commentary on the suddenness of death and the fragility of life. For others, it was viewed as intrusive and disrespectful to the victim and her family.   |

Re: The Death of Adela Legarreta Rivas & The Story Behind It
Wounded Marine Returns Home to Wed  Ty Ziegel (born in 1982) is a United States Marine Corps Sergeant who was seriously injured while serving in Iraq. During his second tour in Iraq in 2004, his group was attacked by a suicide bomber. Mr. Ziegel had been trapped in a burning truck, the heat melted the flesh from his face. He sustained massive injuries, but survived. After returning to the United States, he spent 18 months in Brooke Army Medical Center in Texas. His injuries led to the loss of his left forearm and of three fingers of his right hand, and Ty was rendered blind in his right eye. He also sustained widespread severe burns that led to the loss of his ears and much of the tissue on his face. His shattered skull was replaced by a plastic dome, and a face was constructed more or less from scratch with salvaged tissue, holes left where his ears and nose had been. Despite the range and severity of his injuries, and after over 50 operations, Ty had recovered enough to leave the hospital. Ty married his girlfriend Renee Kline in 2006. They live together in Illinois. Nina Berman's wedding portrait of Ty and Renee, Wounded Marine Returns Home to Wed won the World Press Photo competition for portraiture in 2007. The World Press Photo competition is widely regarded as the most prestigious international award for photojournalism. |
