The Jet Star roller coaster, swept off a New Jersey boardwalk by Hurricane Sandy into the Atlantic Ocean has been demolished. “At exactly 12:05, the crane operator dropped the bucket, opened its jaws wide and took a chomp out of the most photographed symbol of Hurricane Sandy’s destruction.”

collectivehistory:

Armaments manufacturer Alfred Krupp who allegedly used slave labor to make weapons for the Nazis, contacted the famous Arnold Newman for a portrait in 1963.

Upon finding out that Newman was a Jew, Krupp refused to let him take the photograph. Newman insisted to have Krupp look at his portfolio before making a final decision and after seeing Newman’s portfolio Krupp accepted.

On July 6, 1963, they went into a factory in Essen which belonged to Krupp, where Newman decided to make Krupp look as evil as possible under the eerie demonic lighting of the factory.

When Krupp first saw the portrait he was livid. Newman was more tongue-in-cheek:  “As a Jew, it’s my own little moment of revenge.”
