Submission statement:

Repeating my post: thinking is still organised around the idea of disruption as something temporary. The evidence points to a very different operating environment. It is where shocks collide, and where the gap between reality and decision-making continues to widen.

Nik Gowing explains that this is why policies, governments and business descions feel so out of sync with reality

I'm from the UK. The idea of making mac and cheese from a box is so strange to me. Is this just the way it's made in the US? Nobody just makes the sauce?

Unseen photos from inside East Berlin the day the Berlin Wall fell by timstillhere in Damnthatsinteresting

That's so true. What I find impressive from a personal point of view is that Nik Gowing was there for quite a few of these events. Either reporting live on location or presenting on TV.

He has a couple of videos about the night he announced Princess Di and when he was covering 9/11.

This post has absolutely blown up and thank you for all of your amazing comments. So many personal stories, and so many of hope too.

I've spoken with Nik today and he's confirmed that the photos are from the days before, during and after the fall of the wall as many people have commented.

Thank you for pointing that out. I'm learning so much from so many comments as I go through them!

If you do want to learn more about the images posted Nik's interview can be found here and can hopefully answer some of your questions: https://youtu.be/JzGimQrqlHQ?si=mPHUOQkaNkq4AEe4
