  • You are an ignorant dumbass. Go tell all those East Germans who died, got maimed or were thrown in jail because they tried to get across the Wall that it meant 'freedom.' Communism is a Utopian ideal that does not work in the real world. Never has. Never will.

  • A moving description of one of the best moments in modern history -- thank you.

  • I was there a week later - I was 11 years old. The crowd was still as large as on theese pics on the 9th Nov.. TV-crews from all over.. Loads of people hacking the wall with hammers and such.. me too :) Glad to have experienced and been a part of that great moment in history when the wall fell.

  • @resfalgio The Berlin wall fell down and it that same moment Castro was hitting and kicking his own walls at home in Habana... would pay to see Castro's face in that moment..... can you see the Berliners faces?.. wow so happy. we can get the exact same faces if we make a bridge from Miami to Habana. lol a 90 miles bridge, awesome.

  • this is one thing that i solute Regan .. although i hate rest of Republiscums

  • 11 Nov 1989 will go down in history as a touchstone for future generations that oppression and bureaucracy are no match for the human spirit

  • In everyone's lifetime there will be a handful of defining moments. I was fortunate enough to be old enough to understand 11 Nov 1989 and young enough to be able to count it as the backdrop to my youth.

  • Wow. Wow. Wow.

    Those are some amazing photographs.
