It's hard, because I do pick the image and write the first post and I *do* have biases, and I dunno whether it's better to just admit the bias and be fair to myself, or attempt some sort of journalistic "them's the facts" approach.
In this case, I did really think that the image was interesting regardless of bias, because we all have this concept of how big the explosion would be and we're all wrong. The image wasn't current, the news was, but the image gave us a different perspective.
When we heard about Reid's shoes, how big did you think the explosion was going to be? Consider that the above image is a 747, which is enormous...
OK, OK, I got over-indulgent in the comments and that was probably wrong!
*sigh*
In the long run we really should have some sort of voting system for IotD. I put that off when I saw how hard it would be to write a system to auto-post new threads. It's me being lazy again...
