The Falling Man Reaction

    My reaction to the falling man was shock and sadness. I was shocked that it came to the point that people had to make the impossible decision to suffocate, burn, or take their own life. I was sad because the people knew that there was no way out so they decided to jump. One thing that doesn't make too much once is that people thought it was wrong for the Falling Man picture to be in the news or to be seen, instead they wanted to see heroic people which is good, but the Falling Man picture shows so much. It shows how people lost hope, had no way out, how they were desperate to get out, the picture is a symbol not a happy heroic symbol but a symbol of what people in the Twin Towers were feeling and thinking.
