                                                    The Falling Man By: Richard Drew
 What year was it taken?
This picture was taken September 11 2001 at 9:41am

What event was it depicting?
The twin towers collapsed due to two planes crashing into them. One of the most legendary things that happened in the United States

How did people react to its publication?
People didn't know how to react, there where so many mixed emotions to whether the gentlemen knew the planes where coming. Research says that he jumped to try and avoid the smoke and fire that was pouring in. It made them feel  uncomfortable because it was such a quiet image.

How does the photographer feel about capturing the image/ sharing it with the public?
He said it was uncomfortable without his camera, but with his camera its his job to record history. He said there was no violence or blood. It was just a quiet image which really made viewers feel uncomfortable. Its makes them able to feel almost anything.

Why do you think this image has become iconic?
Because it was one of the most historical moments that happened when i was born and had one of the most negative yet strong impacts on my youth.
