Life and Death in Aleppo: Twitter reacts

GlobalPost correspondent Tracey Shelton's images of three men in Syria being killed by tank fire have spread quickly through social media and elicited powerful reactions.

  1. The Washington Post's news video editor, Jason Aldag, said he'd be surprised if the third frame doesn't take picture of the year.

    The 3rd frame here: globalpost.com/photo-gallerie… is easily the best and most horrifying photo since Eddie Adams' 1968 Brigadier Loan of Vietnam shot

    businessinsider.com/incredi... This is incredible coverage. Very sad that this is going on and no one does anything about it. Where is the UN? They are always so quick to criticize Israel. Shame on them.
