The one posted is certainly a biggie, and the video was very cool, but this is what I thought of. And some of the others posted should certainly be at the top of the list.

From 1936 to 1939 Robert Capa photographed the horrors the Spanish Civil War. In 1936, he became known across the globe for a photo he took on the Cordoba Front of a Loyalist Militiaman who had just been shot and was in the act of falling to his death. Because of his proximity to the victim and the timing of the capture, there was a long controversy about the authenticity of this photograph. Historians eventually succeeded in identifying the dead soldier as Federico Borrell GarcĂ*a and proved it authentic. This is the best-known picture of the Spanish civil war.
