    wow 20 is soul crushing.
    Please change to 45 most depressing pictures ever.
    Amy Winehouse tho?? like she was culturally relevant at all
    Almost as ridiculous as 29....people standing on a street!
    That Wall Street phone one would have been cooler if it were 2008.

    They forgot this one.

    Welp. If Jesus descends upon Earth this month, it won't qualify as one of the top images of 2011 or 2012. That sucks.

    19 and 20 made me get choked up. I cried hysterically the first time I saw pic 20. Possibly the saddest thing I've ever seen. Pic 25 is completely WTF. It looks like a scene from The Notebook or something. Pic 30 is super sad and pic 35 is horrible, some people are completely fucking nuts. 45 is awesome.

    I think I'm really desensitized to natural disasters for some reason. The pics of the Tsunami earthquakes, and tornadoes are sad but don't bother me as much as some of the other stuff. Oh, and people actually left fucking cigarettes at Amy Winehouse's memorial thingy? That's just ridiculous. Did they leave a bag of dope and a rig too?

Looks like it was taken by a cell phone camera and the picture seems like a bad picture with no back story.

    I am not saying there is not an amazing story behind the picture but wihtout the story this picture does nothing for me and I am confused about how it made the list. I try to keep up on what is going on in the world, wtf was this all about?

    I am ignorant as fuck about why this picture is on the list. Please, educate me because all I see is a picture I would prob delete from my phone as a bad pic if I had taken it.

    The dog laying in front of the casket is simply amazing and that story is heartbreaking. Trying not to cry like a girl while looking at that picture in class right now.

    That picture was taken in tahrir square during the protest against mubarak. It was a pretty violent scene between the anti-mubarak vs the police and pro-mubaraks. Muslims gotta pray 5 times a day, so the christians formed a human barricade to protect them during prayer times. Also, this took place a month after the church bombing in alexandria.

    Yeah, there are better pictures of this incident out there, not sure why they chose this particular one. I guess it depends on what you relate to best though, and I've lived for a while in cairo. A japanese would probably be more likely to choose one of the tsunami / fukushima photos as the most moving one.
