The Falling Man
March 17, 2006
Wow, this is probably one of the most disturbing photos I have ever seen. I can't even begin to imagine how horrible it must have been up in that burning building to make someone want to jump out of it, especially knowing there is absolutely no chance of survival.
The photograph was taken at 9:41:15 AM, on September 11, 2001, by a photographer named Richard Drew. Over 4 years later, they think they've finally identified the man as Jonathan Briley. Hopefully this will bring some sort of closure for his family.
