We said goodbye to 2012 earlier this week, and what an exciting year it was! From Barack Obama’s election victory, to the antics of Honey Boo Boo – we experienced it all!
Filmmaker Ryan James Yezak has compiled this incredible four-minute snapshot of the past year – offering a poignant look at some of 2012’s biggest news stories.
Important moments covered include tragedies such as the sinking of the Costa Concordia, the shootings in Sandy Hook and Colorado, as well as the attack on Malala Yousafzai.
But there are also moments that celebrate human achievement, as scenes from the Olympics, the Red Bull Stratos Space Jump, and the Mars rover’s landing will demonstrate.
And of course the year’s most popular memes, biggest sporting moments (and scandals), and pop culture highlights also get their fair share of screentime – check it out below:
