An excellent recap, but very difficult to watch.

In my heart,I know this falling man had great courage and although he died at the hands of terrorists,in the end he had some control of the end of his time on this earth. How awful the price of this event in our history & on the human spirit.Let us never forget the many heros of this day in history!

I recall this from last year and so decided not to watch this time The only thing more eerie was the piece done a year or son later where you could hear the thumps as people landed after jumping out of the towers

I don’t know about a grace and a stillness. Who knows really what was going on in that poor man’s mind? My God. It was all so horrific. I also don’t know why Americans haven’t been able to see this provocative film footage. Surely, you’re able to see it, Suz. It’s a wonderful memorial you’re doing here. XX

I just watched The Falling Man video and it made the hair stand up on my arms. I will stop by through out the weekend and take time with the other items. But I can only absorb so much at a time. Excellent post Sans.

It is an amazing video that I got through my friend Wren in Canada. It is beyond words.

I think it was a good decision to publish that picture. It shows how desparate people were – either be burned alive or jump. Yes, the picture was hard to look at, but the photographer was just telling the story. That’s what photographers do.
