I remember Omayra Sánchez’ horrific ordeal, trapped in a landslide/mudflow after the volcano eruption in Colombia in November 1985 (had to look the date up). I was just 16 years old, living in the Netherlands and I remember how the news for three days continuously kept showing footage of this brave young girl, until she passed away at the young age of just 13 years old, only 3 years younger than me at that time… I’m 55 years old now and only recently I came across a picture of her again, watching another historical video like this. Until then, I had not seen another photo or video of this brave girl since the time it happened, in 1985. The mere fact that, at the moment my eyes saw her face and the way she looks straight into the camera, I immediately (!) remembered this young girl and her tragic story, came as a little shock to me. Seeing her face for the first time after almost 40 (!) years and then having such a strong reaction, made it absolutely clear to me how HUGE the impact had been of watching her excruciating situation as well as reminding me of the global feeling of helplessness we all experienced at that time… And that impact was apparently MUCH bigger than I could have imagined !! ❤
Outstanding content. Thank you for your work compiling photos of these hugely important, historical events. I'm old and remember many of these very well.
When the shuttle blew up, I was working in Merritt Island Florida which is the next town from Cape Canaveral, and I was out back smoking a cigarette sitting on my tailgate to watch it go up like we always did and it took a minute for us to realize what we were actually looking at, it was one of the most heartbreaking things I've ever seen , the school where the teacher taught was only 15 miles up the road, we have lost a lot of people out there in Cape Canaveral. Play definitely are heroes! This is an awesome place to live because we get to see Rockets go up all the time and hear it Rumble across the Indian river!
@TheStormey I was looking forward to the launch that day, too. I was watching on TV from NY. I cried when I saw the smoke stream split in two, I knew it right then something terrible occurred. It is still so clear in my mind, same as WTC on 9/11. It all seems like it was just yesterday. I prayed for a miracle both days. We all did. Sometimes miracles don't come the way we want them to. We just have to face it.
Time stamp 21:46 almost everything about this photo when it was on the cover of NatGeo Mag is a lie. This girl was not an orphan. Her name is Sharbat Gula and she is Pashtun. She was a school girl in an all girl Islamic school. She said no to the photographer but he disrespected her and kept asking and bothering her and her teacher until he finally just took the photo WITHOUT PERMISSION of this then angry 12 year old. The final photo that made it on to the cover of Natalie Geographic is of a very angry young female student. In her culture, It is very frowned upon to even be in the presence of an older male who not a family member - especially without a burka to cover her face. He forced her to allow the photograph - actually just fooling her into "allowing" the shot. It was very disrespectful to have even spoken to her without a chaperone or a parent. This photograph caused many problems for her over the years. She was deported from pakistan because of it - the magazine was trying to find her after 17 years - the photographer never even got her name. The fame from the photo 17 years later brought unwanted attention while she was living an uneventful peaceful life. The peacefulness ended with all the attentikn and she was deported. She never got a dime for the photos, although National Geographic made millions with this photo on the cover of their magazine. The photographer made over $200,000 on prints of a series of the photos. Photographers like this might get great photos but their tactics need to be questioned and regulated. And 17 years later, they put her through dna and other tests to verify that she was the girl in the original photo - all this because the original photographer could not bother to get her name or even speak to her family. He lied and said she was a war orphan. Her mother died of appendicitis. Her father was alive. And 17 years after the photo was taken and she was famous (without knowing it) the fame caused her to be deported from a village in Pakistan where she had been living for many years. She was pushed and pulled, used and ignored as a human being by National Geographic and the photographer who took her photo. Yes, it is an iconic photo, but it lies to the people who view it. Again, she was not an orphan- she was a 12 year old school girl with a parent & family, and a safe temporary home and although her family was displaced, she was living a relatively peaceful life. This girl never even saw the photo or knew how famous it was till 1997 when they attempted to find her due to the fame of the photo. She eventually had to move to Italy thanks to her fame causing the Taliban to issue death threats at her. The photo did finally bring attention to her plight as recent as 2017 where it helped single her and her family out for various aid. The subsequent 2021 Taliban capture resulted in her finally being granted refugee status by Italy where she now peacefully lives as far as I know (according to wikipedia).
I remember seeing something about this on a short documentary. I find it so unfair how she was not helped beforehand, but national geographic & the photographer sure made money off of her. Thank you for speaking up; I, too, hope she is well.
NASA made the decision to take off. The takeoff was going to be viewed worldwide and the mission was delayed twice already. Engineers at Morton Thiekol let their concerns about the O rings be know but NASA chose to proceed with the schedule. The military had nothing to do with it.
Not the Military. It was President Ronald Reagan, who wanted the space shuttle up there when he gave his speech. He didn't want the launch aborted. The US Military didn't, have a darn thing to do with it. Where do people find this crazy, made-up, garbage bag, full of lies. Just pure B. S.
Really? Grow some skin! Quit gripping. Be appreciative of the efforts that went into making this video. Very few are perfect, and there is always room for improvements.
Yeah, watching a liftoff is exciting but a reason to grip her behind? Narration has to be AI to describe that launch photo in a dispassionate monotone.
(Sat,8.11.24) Oh, for crying out loud! Are you Commenters just licentious and immature boys? What if they are MARRIED? Did that even occur to any of you?? And that it would have gone completely unnoticed, if the photographer had been less providentially standing elsewhere? GROW UP, guys. Get a life.===
You REALLY should be giving credit to the photographers! 31:10 Robert Landsburg captured several stunning images of Mount St. Helens erupting on the morning of May 18, 1980; before using his own body to protect the film from the deadly cloud of ash racing toward him.
Horrible for the excited children watching their teacher go to space. Horrible for everyone, but those kids had to deal with the sight at such a young, yet old enough to understand, tragedy. R.I.P. brave astronauts, and peace of mind to their loved ones.😢🎉
It is unfortunate that so many wars and atrocities have happened and that there is so much evil in our world. Peace is the best option, but sometimes, War is needed to stop a greater evil from continuing to spread and harm more innocent lives. Global Peace would be awesome, and it would be amazing to see what the world could do if we all worked together and put aside our petty differences, our prejudices, and vanquished Hatered entirely. Dispite some of the most powerful countries that are technically enemies, some members of these countries people have worked together to make great strides in science and technology, and through working together, have done far more than they ever could have done alone. The International Space Station is one example. If we are ever going to be able to quickly travel through space and reach everything that we can see, it will only happen if we all work together. Unfortunately, at this moment in time, peace seems to be horribly failing on earth, and brutal things are happening to people who never chose it. Wouldn't it be great if any country wanting to go to war or who knowingly harbors terrorists who attack a nother countries people, had to send their top government officials to the front lines to fight the war. Governments officials who vote to fund wars must send a family member, a son, or a daughter, or themselves to go fight as infantry soldiers to the front lines within just a few days. I think wars would likely become far fewer. The American congress has greatly funded the Ukraine war, which, if it hadn't done so, the war would have ended long ago, and a lot more people from the countries involved in the actual fighting, would still be alive and well today. This is the work of a global organization known as the "DEEPSTATE " and is an enemy to mankind, freedom, and prosperity.
I was in Italy when I overheard an Italian and American say the UK had no chance to win the Falkland war ! I was so disgusted! And was great when UK did win !
The Falklands governed by England for a long time!! Really,you cant say how long....but just a long time?? The war was awful. The people there want to be governed by Britain.
I haven't read all the comments but has anyone mentioned about the second photo of the couple watching the rocket, where his hand is located? Nothing was said about that look at the man😂
Personally I thought this series of photos was too much all over the place.... I didn't watch it until the end but may come back later. The information on each photo was brief and fast.
Because when they show older rare photos they sometimes guess at what it shows I have been very disappointed in those videos when they claim soviet showing a gun when it's a GI showing it or the hirise cages for kids fresh air as British when they were a New York thing.. Or Joe DiMaggio and his Basketball career. When they can't bother to tell the truth and get facts straight. Why watch
Sure did NOT want to see THOSE kind of pictures. Yes, it is history, but really? Haven't we got enough violence around, than to see this stuff? NO THANKS

My aunt always watched the launches from her yard…I was a child sitting in the school library with the rest of my peer.
And everyone on that shuttle now have new jobs, all across the country. Unless all six each have twins

Thank you so much for that information! It just validates how you cannot believe everything that you hear online! Thank you again. You're awesome!
1:00 Challenger mission was warned, told to abort but the military demanded to have it's way and people died.
NASA made the decision to take off. The takeoff was going to be viewed worldwide and the mission was delayed twice already. Engineers at Morton Thiekol let their concerns about the O rings be know but NASA chose to proceed with the schedule. The military had nothing to do with it.

I remember Bobby Drisco. Song of the South, I saw as a little girl . I loved Uncle Remus .I'm 84 now.
The static sound between slides (photos) is annoying.
Turn off the sound and use subtitles
I agree...it is annoying.😂
Very annoying along with the visual cracking
I don’t think it would be so bad if it wasn’t louder than the narration
Really? Grow some skin!
Quit gripping. Be appreciative of the efforts that went into making this video. Very few are perfect, and there is always room for improvements.
I guess what bothers me the most is a lot of them. Repeat you see the same thing on another one.
love your work! thanks!!
Yeah, watching a liftoff is exciting but a reason to grip her behind? Narration has to be AI to describe that launch photo in a dispassionate monotone.
That’s what I thought.
Hey, who needs a reason?
Looks like he was getting away wif it.
Smooth move if ya ax me?
😁
It is a common virtual voice program used in these videos…which are sometimes done by people who don’t really read or speak English well.
The way people behave is sometimes sad.

OHHHH YEAAAH!
Caught her DISTRACTED.

Yeah…this is life as a woman…why would we want to see history as it happens without a man practically sticking his fingers in our ass.
. Had him a handful of it,lol, she didn't appear to be too upset with it, definitely not the first time. I wonder if they were aware of the picture?😮

1:08 I remember this I was so little
I remember watching the space shuttle take off on TV, and then saying to myself, "Where did it go?" Not real what had happened at first.
@30:32 ...which also led to the widespread use of the term: "going postal".
Horrible for the excited children watching their teacher go to space. Horrible for everyone, but those kids had to deal with the sight at such a young, yet old enough to understand, tragedy.

The first personal computer was the 51/50? 😂😂😂
On 0:37 I guess the guy is the Launch Director! He is evidently pressing the big red button!
That man holding the woman’s rear had little interest in outer space . He had something else in mind.
The Falklands governed by England for a long time!! Really,you cant say how long....but just a long time?? The war was awful. The people there want to be governed by Britain.
this vid would be a lot better without the addition of the amateurish speckled overlay! NO SUBSCRIPTION.

Very childish and just mean to use such a small thing to be your reason to publicly demean and embarrass a new presenter.

Oh yeah…so equal…
LOL... forgot all about Ferraro.... completely.
Why do you have the sound of a shut gun or explosive between the photos?
kamikazes were no different than the suicide bombers of today. nothing noble about it.
Few know Jpll had another attempt on his life with a poniard more in line of (the prophecy)•
Photo from the moon lol
Earth rise photo is cgi in its early phase of use
So, when my family took our family photos and film to be digitized we were CGI? Cool. I’ve got my photos of my great great grandmother some by CGI.
Daw that the people actually lived, it was a fraud
