Falling Man, Richard Drew, 2001

Most of the pictures from the 9/11 attack on New York City are of the WTC collapsing or the airplanes hitting the towers. However, the picture above is one of a kind and it depicts a man taking charge of his own life and choosing the way that he is going to die. In an attempt to escape the collapsing buildings, this unknown man jumped from the window of the Twin Towers and was immortalised by Richard Drew.
