The Falling Man...

The Falling Man is a picture from 9/11 of an unknown man falling from one of the towers. The picture (along with all other pictures of people falling / jumping from the towers) is very controversial and was only shown in the days directly following the attacks - it was pulled from all major new outlets. Esquire magazine has a great article about the Falling Man picture and others like it. It's a very good read, and you'll find it here.
