    Interesting link.

    Interesting too that several weren't what they purported to be (image with men on the girder was staged, plane approaching WTC is faked, loch ness monster was a hoax).

    There has been debate that Robert Capa's "Falling Soldier" was staged.

    I didn't realize that the first photo of the men having lunch on the girder had ever been attributed to anyone, much less two different photographers. Corbis owns the glass plate negative and their official attribution is "unknown."

    And the one of the marines hoisting the flag on Iwo Jima. The rumour is that it was set up the next day.

    Many Chinese don't know the 10th picture.

    Interesting group of images. I find that Nickding's statement that
    Many Chinese don't know the 10th picture
    sad but unfortunately not surprising.
