Taken by Kevin Carter in the village of Ayod during the Sudan famine crisis of a small, starving Sudanese child being stalked by a vulture.
The photograph won Carter a Nobel Prize in 1994
He committed suicide that same year

EDIT: The placemark has been changed to a collection 
Attatched is a collection of photographs that have had a major impact on the world. Whether it be a murder or a speech, each of these photos has affected the world in one way or another.

Google Earth stops... it doesn't fly to Sudan.
I can't see anything in reference to pictures or the story.
I know I must be missing the boat here...sorry.

I really like this collection of images, but have spotted several small errors I thought you might want to know about (Nothing serious really)
Firstly, 'Lee Harvey Oswalt' (Small spelling error, I told you nothing serious).
Secondly, You Wikipedia link for the 'Kent State Massacre' actually links to the "I have a dream" page.
(For those that are interested, a really detailed post about the Kent State Massacre can be found here.)
Thirdly, Your 'Elian Gonzalez' wiki page does not exist. See what I mean here. You should use this link instead.
Fourthly, Your 'Trang Bang, Vietnam' wiki page does not exist. See what I mean here. You should use this link instead.
Fifthly, Your 'Thich Quang Duc' wiki page does not exist. See what I mean here. You should use this link instead.
And finally, (because I just noticed it) in 'VJ Day Kiss' you fail to reveil the name of Greta Friedman as the second possibility for the woman in the photograph.
I dont mean to pick faults but this seems like such a good project, it would be a shame for it not to be accurate.

 Don't you think it is amazing what can be achieved with just a few 1's and 0's?

Thanks Ryan, excellent post.
The Massacre of My Lai really pissed me off. Seeing infants dead because of an American soldier really hits home as a dad.
