9/11: The Falling Man
http://www.channel4.com/programmes/911-the-falling-man/4od
9/11 was a day that forever changed America. It was a day of many stories: stories of survivors, stories of heroes.~
But one simply disappeared. The story of the people who began to fall just minutes after the first plane hit. They were called the jumpers, but soon they were never spoken about again, as if they had never existed.
One photograph stood for them all. Anyone who saw it never forgot it: a photograph of a falling man, frozen in mid-air, parallel with the lines of the World Trade Center. The image ran in newspapers and magazines across the world. But it was quickly airbrushed out of history.
9/11: The Falling Man follows the trail of that photograph: of the photographer who nearly lost his life shooting it; the citizens who decried it; the editors who published it and then banned it; the journalists who tried to uncover the falling man's identity; the wife and daughters of the identified man and many others.
