Some good ones in there, but saying "most power ever taken" is a bit of a stretch imo. It's all about the Pulitzer winners:

Yeah agree. I didn't notice Steve McCurry pics, he has some of the most powerful ones taken. www.stevemccurry.com
Not sure why that hockey riot one was put there, though the dog and koala ones win from that list imo.

man, one thing that always strikes me on the tank man photo is the fact that he's holding fucking shopping bags. it shows he's just an ordinary nobody that was walking home from the grocery store, and saw the tanks, and instead of running like everyone else, just thought, "you know what? fuck this." it empowers me in a certain way that i can't explain. no one knew who this guy was, and i don't think anyone fucking cared, and he knew that. he was just a normal person, like you and me, that decided that one day he wasn't gonna tolerate all this bullshit anymore, and he didn't give a fuck who cared.

deep.

Was literally just thinking exactly the same thing.

These are pretty rough.
