| The Falling Man |
I think this photo is sad and happy at the same time. It is sad because he is plunging to his death, but it is also happy because he can end his life without painfully burning in fire or choking on smoke. He has accepted death, and knowing that is it impossible to escape, he leaped. Many people say he looks relaxed in this photo. I think he does look relaxed, almost ready, for what is going to happen. No one knows who the falling man is because so many people jumped, got pushed, or blown out of the building. Some people say he is a symbol of freedom. I believe that too. He is completely free while jumping out. Even though he will die, he will be free. No matter who he is, he will always be known as the falling man.
