This trio of rare historical photos will blow your mind—watch until the end!"
The Photo That Shook the World – Malcolm Browne’s "Burning Monk".
On June 11, 1963, A moment that changed history. In the heart of Saigon, Buddhist monk Thích Quảng Đức sat in the street, calm and unmoving. Moments later, he set himself on fire, and never made a sound.
Captured by journalist Malcolm Browne, this photo shocked the world. It exposed the brutal oppression of Buddhists under the South Vietnamese government, forcing the U.S. to rethink its support for the regime.
President Kennedy later said, ‘No news picture in history has generated so much emotion around the world.’ The image became a symbol of sacrifice, resistance, and the power of photography to change history.
A moment of unimaginable horror, frozen in time."
On June 8, 1972, "In a small Vietnamese village, a napalm strike turned the sky into fire. And then, she appears.
A terrified girl, her skin burning from napalm, running for her life. Captured by photographer Nick Ut, this image became the face of war’s true cost.
The photo shocked the world, fueling anti-war protests and pressuring the U.S. to withdraw from Vietnam. It won a Pulitzer Prize—but more importantly, it helped end a war.
On May 25, 1965, One punch, one moment, one legendary photograph.
“I am the greatest,” bellowed Muhammad Ali on numerous occasions, and nowhere is that authority better exemplified than in Neil Leifer’s image of a domineering and roaring Ali standing over Liston, flat out on the canvas after only one minute and 44 seconds.
It was May 25th 1965 and the fight didn’t start until 10.40pm, by which time the ring was filled with a cocktail of blue smoke from cigarettes and strobe lighting. The effect gave Ali an ethereal quality in Leifer’s photo and allowed the clashing colors of red gloves and white shorts to dramatically stand out.
Leifer later said “I was obviously in the right seat, but what matters is I didn’t miss. That’s what separates the best sports photographers from the ones that are just good — you have to get lucky in sports photography.
