Ruth Singer in the chair, great backstory to the photo.
The court case was front page news and both Ruth and Judd found themselves constantly photographed for ever-evolving stories. Sing Sing, not one to change policy for press, reinstated that no photographers were to be present at the execution. But the public wanted to see. The New York Daily News knew that the prison was familiar with many journalists from their staff, so they hired someone from out of town, Tom Howard, a then-unknown local photographer from the Chicago Tribune. Knowing he would never be allowed in with a camera, Howard strapped a single-use camera to his right ankle and wired a trigger release up his pant leg. Remarkably, he was allowed in. From across the room, Howard pointed his toe at the chair and took but one photo as Snyder took her last breaths. The camera was rushed to the city and the film developed overnight. Editors and writers marveled at what was to be one of the most shocking photographs ever made: Snyder in the chair, the legs of the prison guard to the right. The image, shot on an angle, was cropped and published immediately with the headline: Dead! ]

Quote HistoryHad an instructor who was there as an aviator. The parade of planes didn't happen that way. Since the war was over and it was safe to fly, the planes scattered for looky loos over Japan to see the damage they did. When it came time for the flyover, there was no time to reassemble into formations and planes flew in helter-skelter over the Missouri. MacArthur was incensed and ordered them to do it again the next day and to do it right.

Quote Historyhis image also shows up in the Getty images collection with the caption "German actress Nana Osten (left) as Rita, the girlfriend of a would be East German defector, in a scene from 'Oggi a Berlino' (aka 'East Zone, West Zone'), directed by Piero Vivarelli, 1962. On the right are actors playing West Berlin policemen and East German Volkspolizei facing each other across the border in Berlin." |

But complacency in space travel is deadly. I was in grade school watching on TV. Watching the explosion and the way those boosters went their separate ways, it's burned into my brain. I watched it right in the sky in front of my house, from my front yard. I remember asking my mom what happened. |
