Whatever happened that HURE? -  I assume that she is pointing to the c*cks that she had had inside her. Her name was England?

The Lewis Hines ones from the Empire State Building are pretty cool too.

This one is truly horrifying, as is the story of the photographer who took it. The fate of the girl is unknown - the photographer took the photo, but didnt help her. When it was published (winning a pulitzer prize), this came to light, and he came in obviously for much criticism - it raised debate about photographers, and to what extent they should do their job no matter the expense to others.

It all became too much for him, and he committed sucide when he was 33.

Was there not something on the board last year about the above photo and they were able to trace the child?

Or am I talking bollocks?

[haranguerer]

Could well have been something on here about it - I cant remember where I heard about it. Dont remember anything about the girl been traced though.

Having said that, I wouldn't like to dismiss your other theory - that you're talking bollocks - out of hand either; its always a strong possibility
