Falling Man (2001) – Richard Drew
The 9/11 attacks will forever be immortalized in harrowing pictures of bombings, planes, and victims. But one of the most eye-catching images from that tragedy is the Falling Man, captured at the right moment by Richard Drew. It was so gut-wrenching that numerous outlets across the U.S. published it after the event.
Although the man’s identity remains unknown to this day, he is believed to be an employee from the Windows on the World restaurant. This photo will send chills down the spine, but it shows what a person is willing to do in times of desperation.
