Bet they didn't include this one.


Hope the US realizes this is what their tax dollars fund, and this is what the rest of the world sees.

OP, thx for sharing

Some of the natural disaster pictures are so surreal.

that dust storm... man oh man thats intense

what i meant was they should shorten the list to like the 30most awesome pics

cuz it felt with some of them that they were just trying to fill space it loses the impact (which is what they're trying to maintain)

look forward to Time or Boston.com or APs list which always maintains the holy shit factor throughout

As a dog owner, this one broke my heart the most:

First thought was the baby looks like an alien from the movie "Mars Attack"

So the Van riot kissing pic turns out to be of a rioter knocked down by the police. I'm a little disappointed.

yeah, the story was he kissed her to calm her down. but damn, that photo looked awesome! hah

#19 is fantastic. Great moment to have a camera.
