I have never seen anything as sad as the 1983 winner. The mother crying over her five dead children... The photographer's quote beautifully describes a parents love.... "While her screams pierced my heart, it seemed like she thought her love could will them back to life."

amazingly sad

Bad, but I think this one is far worse. If it's so heartbreaking the photographer commits suicide after, you might not want to look.

Oh my God. That is the saddest, most haunting thing I've ever seen. I just stared for five minutes.

Wow. Wow wow wow.

I don't understand how the monks who set themselves on fire can just sit there motionless. I mean I understand they are disciplined, but...they're engulfed in flames. I don't see how you can be calm through that.

I call bullshit on this one. Why wouldn't the photographer help the kid to the "food place?" Or go get him some food.

Because it's against a journalist's code of ethics to interfere with his subject is the easy answer. The more likely answer is that behind the photographer, there was pandemonium in which a child with no hope of survival was not a top priority.

Apparently, you don't understand the depth of their discipline and religious conviction.

I don't understand much of anything, but I was thinking that your body would do something along the lines of a involuntary reaction when set aflame
