One of the best-remembered images of the Munich Olympics in 1972 is that of a hooded gunman on a balcony after the Israeli athletes were taken hostage.
Maybe the next-most remembered image is Jim McKay looking directly into the camera after he'd learned of the deaths of all of those athletes, saying "They're all gone."
Jim McKay died today at 86.
