I don’t think this actually changed the world.
August 26th, 2008 at 10:58 pm
I agree with Alfie.
August 26th, 2008 at 11:24 pm
I also agree with.
August 27th, 2008 at 12:43 am
Whooptiedoo.
August 27th, 2008 at 2:01 am
Ditto. It looks pretty cool, though.
August 27th, 2008 at 2:53 am
Perhaps we could say this is a photo of a changed world.
August 27th, 2008 at 7:25 am
For me, it’s really rare to see something like this.
nice photo anyway.

This was a fantastic photo that stirred the conscience of America. Following this photo, anti-Winter clubs sprang up throughout the country. Legislators began to hold hearings in an attempt to find just who was responsible for this tragedy. And, eventually, the landmark Winter Prohibition Acts were passed by Congress. Other countries soon followed America’s lead and passed their own similar legislation.
Truly, a world-changing photo.

This is the photo that convinced us we had to stop the global cooling.
August 27th, 2008 at 9:14 pm
I disagree and say this photo has changed the world as much as the others. (in its own way) I see it as a way of showing the powers of mother nature and the fact that delicate humans have over come something that would be able to stop something so powerful. (If you have seen the falls up close, you will know what I am talking about.) Anyways, it’s a good juxtaposition of man and nature.

Global warming.. what a *****
August 28th, 2008 at 11:15 am
brian, you’re kind of dumb, aren’t you? The rest of these photos made people thing differently about the we all live in. The other photos brought some sort of attention to a subject that needed it be noticed, and once exposed, let people change things. This particular photo, however, didn’t do ******* shit.
August 28th, 2008 at 5:11 pm
Bobby,
Calling someone dumb when you cannot capitalize or proof read you’re own post is kind of well, dumb, no? Also your lack of courtesy towards someone you do not know is well, dumb, no? The reality is that none of these photos changed the world. If they had there would not be the repeating themes of war and revolutionaries… Perhaps this selection of photos should be called ‘Photos that could inspire if anyone actually paid attention.’

THIS WILL NEVER HAPPEN EVER AGAIN
August 29th, 2008 at 4:46 am
what if you slipped?
August 29th, 2008 at 11:39 am
ALL AMERICAN PICTURES CHANGED THE WORLD
August 29th, 2008 at 11:43 am
wow, crazy to think this will never happen again. It’d be sick to be able to snowboard down the niagra….
lol@Tor

If you’ve ever seen Niagara… this is actually pretty ******* incredible. And if you’ve lived in Ontario and are accustomed to the winters there, already freaking cold, you can appreciate how frigid it must have been for this to happen.
August 30th, 2008 at 7:43 am
Hollywood movie gurus are very creative. Just a fake picture. Looking at people at the Fall, are you going to be
so stupid to stand and chat out there? I don’t think that a real picture at all…
August 30th, 2008 at 9:06 pm
I think that there’s something missing to be a photo that changed the world: Woody Woodpecker going down on it inside a barrel
August 30th, 2008 at 9:46 pm
Hoang, if you heard that Niagara had frozen over, completely, and lived close enough to go visit, wouldn’t you? They didn’t have daily news then, so seeing it for yourself was your news.
I love how everyone claims every amazing feat or disaster is a hoax. Isn’t it possible for SOMETHINGS to be real?
August 30th, 2008 at 10:29 pm
I live in Ont and that must of been a frekin cold winter to freeze Niagara Falls like that. This should open people’s eyes to Global Warming (unpredictable weather)

Sad thing is, I almost think your being serious. It’s okay though I can explain away this problem. Old people are stupid. I mean, they aren’t now and all but then, you know when they were kids like some of us were, or still are. That’s when they were stupid enough to stand on the frozen falls.
August 31st, 2008 at 4:19 pm
I checked it out on snopes and they said that they were unable to determine the year of the photo but that Niagara Falls has been known to freeze- Amazing isn’t it?
September 1st, 2008 at 3:10 am
hey, guys, come on, this changed the world. it must be really ******* cold to freeze the niagara falls o.o it’s moving water, really hard to freeze this.
so, i think it’s pretty cool
September 1st, 2008 at 2:00 pm
[...] Niagara falls frozen [...]
September 1st, 2008 at 5:10 pm
awesome photo,i dont think it changed the world,but it’s very impresive
September 1st, 2008 at 8:32 pm
Hey, this is an old still from “Journey to the Center of the earth”! Almost got me that time, fortunately i have an incredible memory for old German movies….
September 2nd, 2008 at 1:06 am
look, the earth is caving in and is about to swallow up those people….!
September 2nd, 2008 at 2:49 am
you’re all on the freakin internet already, how hard is it to type some things in google?

this is sad. 29 posts and no one has done any research. it took me 10 seconds to find that link
September 2nd, 2008 at 3:39 pm
i agree with tor completely. almost all pics are related to the us. it’s silly
September 2nd, 2008 at 7:59 pm
its from that movie-when the earth stood still-
September 3rd, 2008 at 5:34 am

“# ilker Says:

agreed. why not some more pictures of sensations, tragedys and amazing stuff outside the u.s? i’ve even suggested the pictures of the assassinated nicolai chauchesku and his wife immediately after his empire and dictaturship got torn appart. his idol we’re vlad tepes by the way. how many percent of the american people know this you think? i’ll let the question float.
and yes. it’s uttered by me.
September 3rd, 2008 at 7:01 pm
i might ad that the pictures of him and his wife shortly after, not the word changed, but chocked europeans around, probably some in the states too.
i suggest the admin on this page look into the story, and possibly post
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:13 pm
I believe the the photographer was attempting to create a future argument amongst people who would spend too much time disecting and interpreting things on a new invention called “internet”. He would want you all to contemplate the world just before you painted your fingernails black.
September 4th, 2008 at 7:00 pm
well, unlike anyone else responding to this post, i actually live in niagara falls. and let me tell you this picture is no fake. although the falls didn’t actually freeze over due to cold weather conditions, but rather due to the army corps of engineers cutting off the water supply to determine the effects of erosion and undercutting of the rock. not to mention installing some much needed ice-breakers. what you are actually seeing frozen is very shallow run-off water stemming from the low flow of the water. most of what you are seeing is the actual bedrock under the water. as for changing the world, think of it like this; put yourself in the shoes of people living in the era in which the photo was taken. the fact that human beings could tame a force as powerful as the mighty niagara falls was no small undertaking and a massive achievement. especially considering the fact that the falls themselves dump an amazing 750,000 us gallons a second over a 176 foot drop. you could say it was a world changing event. at least for the times.
September 4th, 2008 at 7:16 pm
@justnice….no asked your opinion smart ***, think you know everything dont you.
September 4th, 2008 at 10:56 pm
Isn’t New Jersey a dump for NYC trash? You must work at the dump.
September 5th, 2008 at 10:03 am
This is definitely not a fake picture. I live in Niagara Falls. The falls freezes over EVERY YEAR. It doesn’t usually freeze solid, but it has in the past. Actually, until the early 1900’s, each winter, there used to be a festival of types down in the gorge on the ice at the base of the American and the Horseshoe Falls. Now THAT is crazy. People were F%$@ing stupid back then. There are so many guard rails there now though, no one in their right mind would even attempt to go out there.
@justnice
The water was turned off in the 60’s I believe. This picture was definitely from the late 1800’s/Early 1900’s. That is ice they are standing on, which just blows my mind.
September 5th, 2008 at 5:06 pm
@bob, why yes, I do, how perspicacious of you! By the way, are you related to koko?
September 5th, 2008 at 5:07 pm
bobo be koko *****….ok?
September 6th, 2008 at 7:11 pm

September 7th, 2008 at 8:24 am
just to tell everyone it doesnt mean the whole world it means a certain view u would always see changed at in making this image look alien
September 8th, 2008 at 12:10 pm
Blame it on global warming….. Oh sorry that was not invented.
September 9th, 2008 at 10:50 am
Do there have anybody can give more details…..
September 9th, 2008 at 1:38 pm
@ John : Google it
September 9th, 2008 at 4:22 pm
does anybody know if this was before global warming?
September 9th, 2008 at 11:50 pm
If you’re going to flame someone regarding their use of the English language you may wish to do some self checking yourself. “You’re = you are” so your <–(note correct use here) sentence below…..
“Calling someone dumb when you cannot capitalize or proof read you’re own post is kind of well, dumb, no?”
….reads as “or proof read you are own post”
Signed the internet police.
September 17th, 2008 at 12:03 am
Bet you wont see that again.
September 25th, 2008 at 6:18 pm
this was actually just before global warming….

The photos tell a story. The comments tell another.
October 7th, 2008 at 9:41 pm
this icy world will pale in comparison to the fierce and bitter cold that will freeze the marrow of sinners on that righteous day the Lord returns in Glory.
October 10th, 2008 at 2:59 pm
What is happening?

@ comment 15 by Rock….
What if you slipped and your name was Niagara?
i know, …. but it just had to follow ..
October 28th, 2008 at 8:06 am
That’s the American Falls for that matter.You can see the Rainbow bridge in the background (left upper corner)…
November 5th, 2008 at 10:36 pm

November 6th, 2008 at 12:24 pm

November 12th, 2008 at 10:34 pm

November 19th, 2008 at 2:11 pm
Comment 17 love the idea that would be sick indeed. Come to SuFu Sodakia (USA) and that’s all you get to snowboard on.
November 20th, 2008 at 3:06 pm
poopoo need peepee!
November 20th, 2008 at 10:09 pm
this is undoubtedly one of the most selfless and truly heroic acts I have ever seen. I am almost swept away by my admiration for it, it chokes me up! God Bless these Americans.
December 1st, 2008 at 7:48 am
This is world changing. It shows the freezing of the Niagra River, the cause of thousands of illegal Canadians coming into America and stealing jobs from natural born Americans causing the great depressions
