Landon: How’s it going YouTube I am Landon.
Danny: and I am Danny Burke – we have another double video.
I feel like this is becoming more of a regular occurrence for us.
Do you think our viewers enjoy these?
Landon: Throughout history we have witnessed a lot of ground breaking and innovative moments.
Within the last 100 yrs.
we have landed man on the moon, we invented the cellphones, the civil rights movement
happened and the internet changed the way we live forever.
Sometimes though, iconic moments slip through the cracks of time and pictures of them are
forgotten about.
Danny: So, its time to remind you guys of some pretty major moments in history.
Starting us off at number 10 we have Cheeky Einstien.
Take a look at this – Im sure this picture of scientist Albert Einstein may seem vaguely
familiar to you – its been plastered on merchandise all over the world but many people
forget it comes from this real picture.
It was taken in 1951 on Einsteins 72nd birthday.
The photographer was trying to get him to smile but Einstien stuck his tongue out instead.
He loved the picture and asked for 9 copies.
He signed one of them which ended up selling at auction for over 74,000 dollars in 2009.
Landon: Its time to suit up and jump around on the moon at number 9.
This picture right here of Neil Armstrong who was apart of the Apollo 11 mission that
landed the first two humans on the moon.
This picture is easily forgotten about, well actually a lot of people actually don’t
even believe in this picture.
There was a poll that revealed about 20 percent of Americas don’t actually believe man landed
on the moon.
This picture was taken back in 1969 and since than for decades millions of people have been
analysing this picture to exam if it actually is authentic.
What do you guys think?
Did man ever land on the moon?
Danny: Number 8 Next up at number 8 we have The Viet Cong.
This picture was taken by Eddie Adams during the Vietnam war, a second before a police
chief killed a suspected Viet Cong member.
The picture won Adams to Pulitzer Prize but he later said he felt bad for tasking it because
of what it did to the reputation of the police chief.
He said -Im not saying what he did was right, but you have to put yourself in his position
…- at the time, this picture brought to light the brutality of the Vietnam war for
many westerners.
Landon: A moment that changed the world forever is next up at number 7.
This is Steve Jobs back in 1976 the year he invented his first ever Apple computer called
the Apple 1 computer.
It was built by Steve Jobs and business partner Steve Wozniak.
If you have one of these computers today it can sell for around 700,000.
The first ever computer had just 4kb of RAM.
This is 2,000,000 times less than a standard MacBook computer today.
Steve Jobs really changed the world and we are going to talk about him again at number
6.
Landon: So number 6 we have this picture.
You guys are probably like What the heck is this.
Why is Steve Jobs holding a miniature version of the iPhone.
Well that is actually the first apple iPhone.
I actually collect all my iPhones and I have all of them from iPhone 3 and I took a look
at it the other day and I couldn’t believe how small it is.
I was like is this real life right now how did I use something so small.
I always get the plus phones now.
The iPhone 1 was released in 2007 which was 10 yrs ago this year.
This was one of the biggest announcements in the technology world.
Steve Jobs got millions of people excited for this new iPhone 1.
Steve Jobs really reinvented cell phones.
This was such an iconic moments that paved the way for apple.
This picture was taken from Steve Jobs keynote speech he has been given annually until he
passed away.
These annual apple events always has millions of people at the edge of their seats just
waiting to see what the next product is going to be or what the newest features are.
Next up at number 5 we have the 9/11 Picture.
Not long after the terror attacks of 9/11, a picture started to spread online of an tourist.
He was on the observation deck of one of the towers and in the background there appears
to be the plane that would bring the building down.
The date in the corner is September the 11th 2001.
The picture was everywhere and the story was that the camera had somehow survived the tragedy.
Eventually though, the truth came out – it was actually a picture taken by a Hungarian
man named Peter who had photoshopped the plane into his picture from 1997 and sent it to
some friends.
Somehow, it ended up spreading online and was seen by MILLIONS of people.
Landon: Time to solute at number 4, we have Elvis Presley saluting in front of the America
flag.
A lot of people have actually forgotten the fact that Evlis Presley was actually drafted
into the army, and a lot of people didn’t even know this fact.
I know a lot of you guys do because your super smart.
Elvis served from 1958-1960 putting his singing and acting career on hold.
During this time Elvis was one of the most famous people currently fighting for his country.
After Elvis was released from the military after serving his time for his country Evlis
found a new fan base among an older age group, because of his time in the military and this
is when he thinks his career really took that next level.
Moving right along into number 3, we have this icon picture for all you sports fans
out there.
You guys know I am a huge basketball fan and this picture right here of Michael Jordan
and Kobe Bryant really puts a smile on my face.
This is two of the most iconic NBA players playing against each other.
In this picture you have 11 rings, 29 All Star Game appearances and I think they started
in all those games.
A lot of people say Michael Jordan was the GOAT of his era and he passed that tourch
to Kobe Bryant.
I think pictures of Kobe Byrant and Lebron James in 20-30 years will be super iconic
for the next generation.
Coming in at number 2 we have The Vulture.
This picture was taken by Kevin Carter in 1993 of a starving child in south Sudan during
a famine.
In the background, a vulture senses death and waits patiently.
It shocked the whole world.
Some people praised it for bringing the crisis more attention but others criticized carter
for taking it.
Many people asked why he was taking a picture instead of helping her.
He said he chased the vulture away and the child was taken to a feeding center.
The picture won him a Pulitzer Prize but this did little to help Carters depression which
ultimately led to his own suicide … And finally at number 1 we have the Assassination.
The images of President JFKs assassination are still brought up by people today but there
is another iconic picture that many forget.
Two days after Lee Harvey Oswold committed the murder, he was being taken to jail from
the Dallas Police Headquarters.
It was then that Dallas nightclub owner Jack Ruby stepped forward and shot Oswald in the
chest at point blank rage, ultimately killing him.
This picture was taken by photographer Robert H Jackson who captured the exact moment the
gun was fired.
Ruby was found guilty of murder but died before the start of a new trial.
Danny: Well, I could look at historic pictures all day but unfortunately weve reached the
end of the video.
Did we miss any good ones out?
Which iconic picture do you think people have forgotten about?
Landon: Also be sure to let us know if you want a part 2!
Thanks for watching and well see you in the next video!
