Omagh Bombing

A photographer took a pretty picture of a father and son in 1998. The image tells a story much deeper than a family relationship, however. The red car in the background was actually loaded with explosives set down by the Real Irish Republican Army in Omagh. The bomb exploded moments later and killed the photographer, but not the father and son.
