The Falling Man

I can not fathom what the conditions must have been like for anyone in the World Trade Center when it was attacked on September 11, 2001. Clearly though some unsuspecting New York citizens believed that jumping from the windows from high above the street of New York was the better alternative to being trapped in the building.

The above photo captures one man who jumped to his much too early demise. The point of this is not to capitalize from the misfortune of another human being, but rather emphasis just how tragic September 11 was to this country.

The above photo was printed in Esquire magazine and there is a fantastic article to go along with it. Click here to read it.
