capecod-prep: autumnbones: 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 makes me cry. This feeling… I remember watching one person after another after another jump from those windows. Just… think for a minute how those people knew that it was the end for them. Think about the courage it takes to literally jump out of a window to your death. I just… cant even. -- source link
