The photo journalist eventually committed suicide after social criticisms of his appetite for awards instead of helping the girl

monalicious:

I read about this sometime back, they had tried tirelessly to help her. She was stuck, she had to resign to fate and wait till death came. Her eyes didn't even turn black immediately, it happened gradually before she died. This story haunted me for a while, so sad.

maasoap:

I read this story but it was clever of you to have omitted the part that said the order was given by the.. .. .....

ISTANDWITHBUHAR:



Media will not record this as terrorism, But if it happen to involve Muslim the world will hear about it..

The unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.

LordAdam7:








You guys disgust me! Read.



Instead of finding out what Carter did after the photo, you guys blindly concluded that he took the photo for fame.

Since Carter took that photo to today, more than 3 million Sudanese have died, most of them starving children (some probably eaten by vultures), hundreds of thousand have been raped. The sectarian conflict in Sudan continues to this day.

Carter risked his life and the sanctity of the First World to brace the harsh realities of the Third World. And perhaps gave the world the biggest reveal of the situation in Sudan that spurred International intervention that recently culminated in the breakup of Sudan and creation of South Sudan.

Instead of him to be celebrated, you guys are loathing him, seemingly celebrating his misfortune.

Any normal human who has seen all the things Carter saw will be scarred for life. The highest suicide rate in America is amongst military veterans. Carter saw worse.

We are in this country where more than 250 people were supposedly mistakenly killed in a bomb blast by the Nigerian Airforce and there has been no protest. What have you personally done to lend your voice to say that is unacceptable. 1 million people go to bed hungry every day on this planet. How much have you donated to feed these people? When last did you remember these people exist?

Carter is a hero. May his soul rest in peace. And may we not lack people who dare show us things we often don't want to see or believe to be real. While people like you do their best to ridicule good and facts.

Tomorrow, you guys would end up in Church praying to a big man in the Sky, asking for a world where there are no deaths, when you guys have done nothing to help the one you're in.

Rubbish!

Don't mind these nutjobs on nairaland.
See them all posing like good people. I remember that 17 year IPOB boy that was shot to death by a useless police officer, and the reactions on that thread was debilitating to the extent that i was nearly traumatized. I am not used to such savagery.
It was totally savage reaction from the same people mewing and ohing hypocritically on this thread like they actually know what it means to be humane.
Over 2 million people mostly vulnerable people died in the Nigerian civil war, and yet it is unrecognized and even mocked on this forum.
Such scale of death and loss unprecedented in black Africa. Some of the animals on this forum even go as far as posting pictures of starving biafran children as a sort of jibe at the igbo nation.
Utterly savage nation with a savage people.
Their leaders are a curse to them from the universe as a punishment for their savagery.
Animals.

Explorers:
Starving Sudanese child is stalked, and eyed hungrily, by a starving vulture.

This contrast of a plump vulture and a starving, emaciated Sudanese girl is striking, alarming and won the photographer, Kevin Carter, a Pulitzer Prize for feature photography.

The girl was on her way to a feeding center, when she collapsed.

When asked about the fate of the girl, Kevin Carter said that she resumed her trek to the center, while he chased away the vulture.

However, he added, that it is unlikely she survived.

SPDAZZY:


So he couldn't help her to the feeding center. Na award and vulture im dey find. Smh

LordAdam7:


You'd do well to inform yourself rather than spread half-truths.

Carter did not snap that photo for an award. He fended off the vulture after taking the photo and unfortunately could not help the girl because he was under strict supervision by the Sudanese soldiers who monitored his every move.

How people think amazes me.

Do you think that was the only starving child Carter saw? Do you think that was the only photo he took in Sudan?

Have you asked yourself what your life would be like if you saw all that unnerving realities and realize you are unable to help not for lack of will?

Carter shouldn't have gone to Sudan, he should have gone to the Alps or to witness a protest in Asia. He may also have taken award-winning photos and probably still be alive today. He had kids who didn't grow up to have pleasant memories with their father because people like you criticized him baselessly.

People in Sudan you guys did not help. And then caused the death of a father who had kids who was only trying to help and raise awareness. I'm sure you feel good about yourself. Killing good men who are helping while you sit behind a screen condemning good deeds.

one of the most eemotional photograph...the photographer later committed suicide out of guilty conscience

Explorers:
A couple was on their honeymoon in Australia while this rare photo was taken.

It was believed that the couple entered the ocean together and the husband left his wife lying at the bottom of the ocean.

It is also believed that he must have turned off her air regulator too.

As newlyweds, Gabe and Tina went on a scuba diving excursion in Australia.

Just before this photograph was taken (by an unsuspecting friend of the diver posing in the foreground),

Gabe was seen giving her what looked to be a bear hug.

In reality, he was likely disabling her air regulator and holding her down until she lost consciousness.

When he finally resurfaced for help, he swam leisurely back to the boat and calmly notified an instructor that his wife was experiencing difficulty.

The diver swimming towards Tina in this photo is the instructor struggling to rescue her, but it was already too late.

Back in America, Gabe Watson was acquitted of murder charges based on lack of evidence and cashed in big due to Tina’s substantial life insurance policy, and the dangerous environment in which she perished.

He was actually as pastor o!

A christian pastor that went rogue...lol

They are communist/socialists.
Its like a mixture of the Nazi, USSR, North Korea and Religion...

Very stupid and selfish photographer. He is disgrace to mankind.

Explorers:
Hisashi Ouchi received a fatal radiation dose with a mortality rate considered to be 100%.

Explorers:
The body of John Torrington.



In the 1840s,John Torrington and a crew of 100 explorers sailed thousands of miles away from civilization in the arctic attempted to find the fabled Northwest Passage that would allow for quicker and safer travel between North America and Asia.

However, during the expedition, Torrington’s ship was damaged, and the crew was forced to abandon and trek back through Canada on foot.

No one made it back.

136 years another crew set sail to recover their bodies, upon opening the graves, the scientists were simply baffled by what they found: three perfectly preserved bodies who stared back at time.

Torrington’s body was buried along the way, perfectly preserved by the frigid temperatures.

LordAdam7:


Carter has gone to a better place.

The same people who criticized him did nothing for Sudan. Did nothing for the millions who died after he took that photo.

We live in a world where pictures that should elicit deep thought and uproar about the state of the world elicit criticisms for those who dare show them.

Humans are pathetic!

Explorers:
Hisashi Ouchi received a fatal radiation dose with a mortality rate considered to be 100%.

Despite desiring to die, he was kept alive in horrendous pain for 83 days against his will.


Hisashi Ouchi was one of the three workers who was preparing a small batch of fuel by adding aqueous uranyl nitrate solution to the precipitation tank.

The accident occurred when they added a seventh bucket of the solution and the tank reached criticality.

A self-sustaining nuclear fission reaction started and emitted gamma and neutron radiation.

Ouchi, who was the nearest one, received 17 sieverts (Sv) of radiation while the permissible annual dose of radiation is considered to be 50 mSv and the fatal dose as 8 Sv.

He suffered serious burns, severe internal organ damage, and had a near-zero white blood cell count.

The doctors who treated them were under pressure as it was considered a matter of national dignity, and so he was kept alive despite his wishes for 83 days before his heart finally failed.

A well-fed man stealing corn from starving child during the distribution of food. Ajiep, Sudan, 1998.

Ishilove:

This is sheer wickedness. How can they keep someone in this state for FOUR months??

fellis:
But human beings sha......

Sometimes I ask myself if it wouldnt have been better for humanity to not exist at all. The unbelievably heartless and extremely wicked things people do to others will not happen if there was no human race.

Majority of people are more likely to do evil before good so whats the point?

I dont even know how the perpetrators of those wicked acts sleep at night or live with themselves. This thread has made me sad.

oloriooko:

What are you spewing?
He had the effontry to take the pic but was under strict supervision not to help the kid? But he was not stopped from taking the pic, what a senseless argument!
Nothing could have stopped him from making sure the kid got to the feeding center safely but you are there making up stories to defend the guy.
So why did he kill himself? I think he could not face the shame of his wicked action and indifference to that kid
