The Falling Man

After watching the falling man, or after seeing any video about 9/11, some of my first thoughts are "what would I have done?" or whether or not I was put in that situation of being trapped in the towers. Before this video I had no idea that one of the most offensive pictures which were captured from that day were of someone falling.

Of course someone falling off a building is traumatizing to see, let alone to take a picture so that everyone can see. But you wouldn't expect that even in a situation like this one a picture as simple as that would be the worse one, there's other options that could've been a worse option. For example a burning body or one that hit the ground already.

September 11, 2001, was truly a devastating day for those who had suffered and died from the attacks to those who had lost someone to the towers. A lot of people are sensitive to this topic, even today after 13 years. The lives of those taken that day will be missed, but it's the past, there's not much left we can do.
