Right time, right place, right settings and a bit of nerve. Capturing the moment :thumb:
You've gotta admire it, but it's not my sort of stuff.

Wot no EXIF? How can we possibly tell how good they are without full technical details :lol1:
More seriously, some great and inspiring shots there :)

There's no EXIF data because they are all photoshopped :)

The small planes crashing is a spectacular capture but the three kids sliding would be my fave.

I'm a big fan of photojournalism and this one really stands out for me -- if any of the images could speak a thousand words it's this one:

I don't know if you guys are aware but an archive of Robert Capa's images/negatives were unearthed very recently according to the International Herald Tribune and there could be a lot of images in there which may dispel the thoery that the infamous shot of the soldier being shot is a fake. I don't have a link to the story as I read it in (good ole fashioned) print. Apparently these were discovered in Mexico. Could be a major find in the field of photojournalism.
For those interested, here's a link from the NY Times about the discovery: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/27/arts/design/27kenn.html?_r=1&pagewanted=1&oref=slogin

Fascinating Capa story on Frenchie's link above. Here's another showing the famous image:
