this photograph intrigues me so much! why isn’t this the most famous photo from 9/11 instead of the falling man? isn’t 2 people holding hands after jumping more significant than 1 man? it makes me wonder what the story is behind this photo, were they friends or lovers? or just strangers who were too scared to jump alone? it shows that people need a helping hand even in their final moments, i love it.
Fucking reblog today; tomorrow. Any day I see it on my dash. Beautiful. I for one think they were strangers. Sometimes it’s easier to care for a stranger, how else would they have found the courage to not only jump, but to look into someone’s eyes and jump. I don’t think I could have done that if I knew the person well.
This is amazing. Maybe held hands, looked at the other and counted to 3. Then jumped.
I think is was a married couple because I read a post that was connected to this photo and it was a kid who said both his parents worked in the towers and were able to find each other and jump together and holding hands.
perfect.
this would be fun if you didnt hit the bottom and just flew away can you imagine omg
